Lost in Thought by Karen A. VandenBos

Lost in Thought


Three years old and I walk the path around

my grandparents farm in Maine. A girlie


girl in all ways I wear my frilly white party

dress and black buckle shoes to greet the


trees and plants, dancing like a sprite

across potato fields, the tractor stirring


clouds of fairy dust. Lost in thought I will

dream I am the Potato Blossom Queen


not realizing that I have disappeared into

my own little world where imagination has


begun to bloom and my future as a poet has formed a bud.
