Follow the sour cries
That come from the toothless baby girl
Where she waits
For something
Not a bottle
Not food
Not even a dipper change,
But a lemon
The new nanny,
Confused
Worried
Unprepared
Wonders what it is,
The toothless baby girl wants.
The light shines
In the baby girls light blue eyes
Dazzle
Gleam
Glisten
Overflowing with water
Until…
She remembers
The key
To getting
The toothless baby girl,
To relax.
She walks
To the modern living room
Where the baby girl lies,
In the play pin
With her head buried in her stuffed elephant…
Crying.
The nanny
With a lemon on her palm
Bends over
To the toothless baby girl.
Her eyes glow once she sees the citrus
She smiles and reaches out,
Silence at last.
Cute poem! Great story behind it too!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL TIFFY! Absolutely gorgeous, it really makes you feel like you know the girl. Compliments the color too :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice poem tiff. I like the imagery, and the ending too, but just add commas where they are needed. Great Job!! :)
