Toy Soldiers
I see it!
I see rays pickled
In a pumpkin.
I see a melody that
Dances forth.
I see army men
Jump out:
Small green heroes
Who come out
Of the orange head,
Two-by-two.
Some climb with
A ladder, some
Down a rope.
Some hammer on
Through with a
Pickax.
Pow!
Some place explosives
On the outside.
Boom!
Some stab through
With a shovel.
Ram!
All-in-all they
Escape and are
Free. I watch in
Awe as all I
Could do was see.
A lot of fun
I had with
This poem,
It was like a
Bee buzzing
Around me.
The army men
Jumped in glee,
And I let them
Go free.
From toy soldiers
To me,
This army was gone
I did see.
