ten brown little toes

impish snubby nose

he stands alone in the baked dirt field

no one else there

no one to care

enough to come out and play

throw the ball high

into a blue sky

pretending the bases alive

watch it tumbling down

a serious frown

on a face too old for its years

is Someone Else there?

could Someone Else care

enough to keep sadness at bay?

ten brown little toes

impish snubby nose

all alone in a baked dirt field

    I love the rhythm you’ve incorporated into this, along with the rhyme. It is a sad poem, but very good.

    Nice write!
