We were so young
Wet behind the ears
Out to change the world
Change the minds around us
Wild in our abandon,
We danced in the parks
Dishabille
Barefoot and fancy free
FREE
That was the word
We used to describe ourselves
Who we thought we were
Who we wanted to be
What we were
Was our parents
In junior form
Oh, we tried not
To let them rub
Off on us
They did
We got it all
We became them
As they had become
Theirs before
Wild and free
War torn and careworn
Not so wild after all
Human

ahhh those wild, wild editors at Trifecta challenged us this week to find out where the WILD ones are. 33-333 words using WILD in its third definition. Apparently I’m in a 100 word groove as that is the word count on this piece. How many wild words do you have?
