Write a poem about an object from your childhood.
My Object:
A stuffed monkey
the long armed monkey
brown and dressed in yellow overalls
hung from the balloon lampshade
as the round-nosed clown watched
faint light radiated from the balloons
painting the white walls dark yellow
in the hideout made of cardboard boxes
and sheets draped over shelves and desks
where the child lay on his back
staring at the shadows dancing on the yellow sheet ceiling
basking in the glory of his home made secret base
