[hometext] => This poem is a short story about a little girl I'm very familiar with (myself) and the highlights of her life. I start out writing it like a little girl would be talking and slowly as she gets old so does the dialogue (sp?). Please comment. Thanks
[bodytext] => This is the legend of a modest girl About her growing into her skin So young at two and very cheerful But this is where the pain begins. Daddy drinks and Mommy cries Our little girl is four and confused While daddy’s gone she tries to help And kisses where Mommy’s bruised. Jump ahead, she’s six or seven Daddy’s yelling and swinging at the air She crouches further back into the corner She prays “Please God this isn’t Fair.” At ten, our girl runs home from school, Little sister’s hand in hand Mommy’s waiting on the porch, suitcases are in the car This may be their only chance. She cries in defeat as she reaches the house She’s already knows the consequence for being late Daddy’s got Mommy by the hair This is our never-ending fate. Now She’s twelve- Her Mom and Dad are fighting And she won’t have any of that She throws herself at his feet, screaming That’s when he used his baseball bat. Spent months and weeks recovering Mommy by her side Sister only eight years old Laid next to her and cried. That was the summer our little girl Was freed from her imprisonment Daddy got caught and was doing time She went into a foster home, a slight improvement. At sixteen she bleeds through ink on paper She tries to cope with her childhood A magnitude of angry words But her questions go unanswered and misunderstood. After a long time of bitterness And pathetic outbursts for remark Our little girl is now twenty A life full of wonder she can now fully embark.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
