The Treasures Of Pretend
And Other Oddities
Bones and crosses
Luck and fate
Wins and losses
Love and hate
Round the block
And back again
Running clocks
Fences to mend
Time to kill
And changes made
Windowsills
And summer shade
All dressed up
In hand me downs
Keep the corrupt
In lost and found
A glass half full
Spilt on the ground
Midnights last call
Drinks all around
What once was up
Has now come down
Shooting stars
Worn as a crown
The sun by day
The moon at night
A grand display
Of sheer delight
Nature's palette
And grand design
A sly jack rabbit
Polished and shined
Bringing to an end
This rare adventure
Playing pretend
Creating treasures

Totally agree with RM Stockton this could be a song. When I read there was a singsong attitude to it.
I love this, Kelli. It should be put to a tune. Whimsical and fun!
