A poem I wrote while daughter is visiting. |
I would like to know what you think of this. I wrote while my little girl visited this weekend. I wrote it to tell a story for the new contest about telling a story in the form of a poem. I have never entered any of these contests so let me know. Thank you Little Girl’s Visit Her little girl comes home To her see her mother But mom’s heart feels so alone Because she only plays with her brothers Mom knows it isn’t right To feel a little jealous Of their playing tonight She’s a little over zealous Mom asks if she can play But they give her a look Mom is too old they say So mom goes to her favorite book Then Mom sits on the internet Listening to her heart in the other room Playing and laughing leaving her to interpret Knowing her little girl is leaving soon So Mom asks her to read The poem that she wrote for the contest But her daughter doesn’t listen to her plead So mom just hopes for the best Is she being fair Feeling so very down Mom knows that little girl cares For her brothers when she’s around Does her daughter still See her mother the way she did Mom knows she should just chill But she don’t know when she’ll see her kid Soon her girl will be with her dad And mom and the boys Will be left feeling a little sad As mom picks up their toys But maybe next weekend The boys will visit their father’s home And the mother and daughter will be friends Then Mom wont feel so alone They will wrestle and play Run and they’ll laugh Then hopefully the girl will say “Momma, I love you all of my life” Dec 1, 2007 |
