Young artists and poets -- NaPoWriMo 2022 Day Nineteen ( for dVerse Quadrille)

     Broken Chalk 

Put the broken chalk in the box 
Save it for the children poets 
Pretty driveway pictures they'll make 
Messages to passerbys and 
In secret code some to their friends 

Best of all will be their poems 
Friends and strangers alike will read 
Eoohs and aawes children love to hear 
Broken chalk

That’s such a lovely thought, Jim. I will continue to write, though, as I’m still a child at heart. 😊

I even just love the sound of the words "broken chalk," and the memories that floods in. Wonderful.

There is a lot of life left in broken chalk.
