She Paints (Poem)



She started with zwieback
and took advances courses
In cookie

Watching milk dribble
From her sippy cup
Drip
By
Drip...

On each sweet confection
And dabbing her chubby fingers
On her highchair palette
Of strawberry pinks,
Lemon yellows,
And chocolate browns

Until off to naptime
To awaken tomorrow
And start her second year off
In cake smearing

  1. I really liked this poem, intellectually applied with much creativity; you have a great imagination and are clever with metaphorical words and phrases of analogy. Well done.

    The story content was delightful and very well expressed. I think most parents could relate to this, and with a worthwhile smile of appreciation too!

    Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.

  2. Doesn't take much to paint a smile when one is young.
