we maneuvered Tonka trucks through back yard dessert sands
built roads and houses where none had a right to be
and preyed for rain
none came
and brittle landscape crumbled beneath sun
parched throats could scarcely say the words
we needed
and so we divvied up our toys and
went our separate ways

I loved the play on words here
It really added an atmosphere to the piece and everything and yada yada.
Simple imagery that equaled strong emotion and told a really powerful story... made for a very strikingly strong piece
Very well penned, thank-you for the entry! -
