I tried this writing assignment I found on this GREAT blog
Today, write a poem including the following lines in any order:
“I tie a ribbon in a foolish way”
“The delicious fragility of this travesty”
“Where we still laugh and wish”
Bunny ears
I tie a ribbon in a foolish way
Bunny ears I’ve heard them say
I don’t care because it’s who I am
I was just a kid when I learned to tie them
My dad taught me how and now he’s gone
I miss him every day but I carry on
I dream of him being here to play and see
But that is the delicious fragility of this travesty
It’s my hope that someday I’ll understand
Really what he did and why he was so mad
I said goodbye with just a little kiss
But long for the time where we still laugh and wish
I love how you incorporated the "required" lines. Really, such a bittersweet poem. I'd love to know more about your dad.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I read your blog and coming from you that means a lot! You're a wonderful writer!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say, "awww!" I love that it was about your dad and now I want to know more about him, too. My dad...I've figured out why he was always so angry, but moved beyond it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you jumped into the PROMPT pool with the rest of us!
