Creeks were made for little boys
Who love digging in the sand
Creeks rippling along singing as they flow
Calling all who are young at heart
To come explore hidden treasures
Found buried in the sand
Hidden under rocks
Crawfish and minnows
Turtles and frogs
Dam construction always a fun project
Watching the water rise above your ankles
Feeling the sand squishing between your toes
Yes creeks were made for little boys & little girls
No matter how old they become

I don’t know how many hours my brother and I spent playing in creeks when we were boys. Ahh, thanks for reminding me of some good times!

Creeks are made for children and they bring out the child in all of us. I love the way your poetry makes simple things seem elegant.
