Day 10: NEVER AGAIN

PROMPT: “never again”

NEVER NEVER-NEVER LAND AGAIN

“I won’t grow up!”
I crowed with Pan,
and in my dreams I flew.

I clapped for Tink
with all my heart
professing, “I believe.”

But never nev-
er will I hide
with Wendy in a tree

Where little girls
become the moms
of boys so young and free.

When Wendy’s wed
with Peter, soon
the fairy dust is all.

Never, never,
never, never
again will they live small.
