In Just – Spring

in Just-
spring      when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles      far      and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far      and      wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
    the

            goat-footed

balloonMan      whistles
far
and
wee

    The spacing on this poem is way off. It is not supposed to be aligned with the left side of the screen. The way it is typed here greatly detracts from the appeal of the poem.

    • You were quite correct, the poem is now spaced correctly, what did you think of the actual poem?
