Daytime Drama

[Ca ne fait rien]

one-legged hop
into drip-dried Levi's
tacky headbanger hairdos
antagonized by tugged t-shirts
sock-less feet stuffed into unlaced shoes
silent smiles shared

last glance at the bustling stream
once churning with giggles and sun fire,
coursing darker now.
light abandoning
to flirt with blushing clouds

Hi AA
I liked the first stanza- it connects I am sure with most of us... well quite a lot of us, and reader can share those smiles almost conspiratorially.

I felt that maybe the second stanza had rather too many gerunds (..ings)- one per line took away much of the momentum and impact of the poem. Never the less, I did like the
'to flirt with blushing clouds'
That somehow feels just right.
