Click hereDear TopCat and Pony,
I do not know who you are
just that you have the greatest adventures
over castletops and solving mysteries
in caves
you come in the mail
with envelopes filled with numbers
and catalogs with names
that are not mine.
You are mine.
you remind me
I matter
even when others
do not seem to notice
my secret admirers
letters in blue ink,
printed to disguise Mother's handwriting
I will pretend to believe,
just like the Easter bunny,
long after knowing
you did not "exist"
afraid if I let on
you might stop being real.
I miss you, TopCat, take care of Pony,
Please write again soon.
love,
Katie

...you capture the realm of childish imagination so well. It fades all too soon, beaten out by schools and growing up, to become fond memories like this.
Yup, it's a really sweet and smart poem.
But who the honkers are TopCat and Pony?

the first time I read it and I still do.
takes me back to being a child when all the world was magic.
Some great images here too.
Makes me sad in a nostalgic way.
you really captured the innocence of childhood
thank you
