I am stuck
in the middle
of in between.
My eyes are not blue,
but they’re not really green.
If you’re short, I look tall.
If you’re tall, I look short.
I am neither the best nor
the worst at my sport.
I’m much more than a baby,
much less than a teen…
Smack dab
in the middle
of in between.
(Note: These are not my grandchildren but just
Flicker photos selected to illustrate the poem.)

ReplyDeletegreat poem
ReplyDeleteWhat a great "M" post!
ReplyDeleteHis eyes are beautiful! But I like the pouty lip the most!
ReplyDeleteVery cute poem Sue..I'm sure many adults who are the middle kiddo will relate to this!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what age, we're all stuck in between something.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be short, yet I am not tall. I am somewhere in the middle too. Sometimes its good, but sometimes we middle people want to be something special. Thats the trick of growing up - to find your specialty and make the most of it!
ReplyDeleteWell I for one, definitely know these are not your grandchildren. (yours are much cuter)no offense to the ones here from Flicker.
ReplyDeleteThere have been times I think we have all felt stuck in the middle. :(
Adorable Sue! Great M...Happy Alphabethursday...
ReplyDeleteWay cute! I'm trying to think what I'm in between right now...
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a 'middle of in between'. This was wonderful Sue.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always so marvelous...they just make me heart feel ... ummm... musical? Okay, that's a bad "M" word, but my brain is not working today!

ReplyDeleteI was the middle child...middle kids matter too! ha ha!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue! Great poem! I always appreciate your comments at my blog. Have a terrific weekend and thanks for sharing with us.

ReplyDeleteBeing a middle child, I was definitely in between! Loved your post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute poem about being in-between things! I love the way you can pull something so whimical such as this out of thin air or at least it seems so to me. You're really clever with words. =D
