Childish Ways

Up to ten by Davlet Islamov. 1972. Artist Z.Manokhina

I went wandering; making wrong turns
It's been keeping me away from you
Cause I miss how we used to be
We played so aimless and free
Now the winter is calling me to come home
But I want to stay up here
Can we go elsewhere where they won't find us?
Not just sometimes but always, I know.

She's The House

From the book, 'Enid Blyton's Happy Hours Story Book' Published by 'Dean & Son Ltd.1964.

The house is quiet
When it came undone
It follows crowds
While making a statement

The house frowns
When no one is watching
When others are missing
When others are smiling

She took a slight proposition
That got her into a mess
She recovered sooner but got back later
She wonders why she's broken

Her windows are clear
She could see the neighbors
They past by her
But showed no invitation

The house sighed and looked upon a star
And wished somewhere out there
Another was building up
