941_1432310904 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Daddy's girl spinning and laughing in Denim overalls, loose at the hem as always. Running freely, inspecting blades Of grass, peeling sections created by Ridges. Discovering ladybugs crawling, Oblivious to a giant's shadow. Shoelaces untied, tripping over own words, Trying to spill it out in a massive jumble. Scooped up by Daddy's big, strong hands, On top of the world on broad shoulders, Never thinking of the danger of falling. Surroundings mixed in a picturesque Kaleidoscope, swirling azure pool With emerald grass and ladybugs. Erupting with laughter seated deep Within the belly, infinite rapture. Daddy's girl-perfect. Now the world is spinning, but I am not Laughing with it. Life's seams loose at the Hems, splitting, fraying as always. Running in circles, inspecting own self Worth and metallic edges. Not quite Oblivious anymore to the giant's shadow, Transformed into meaningless ladybug. No more rough, gentle hands to scoop Me up and hold me close, to put on Broad shoulders and let me reach the sky. Daddy's girl fading away with the ladybug, Into the soft blades of grass, ready to be Peeled apart and forgotten. Discovering each oak and the mystery it hold On top of Daddy's shoulders only six years old Seeing the wide world from the eyes of a giant Able to feel the sky's edges, hold a star to define it Silent as a whisper as Daddy sings to me: "As long as I'm living my baby you'll be." Times have changed so fast for me Years and pages turn so suddenly How I were I were still Daddy's little girl On top of his shoulders, on top of the world. No longer a little girl, crunching leaves in autumn Carrying hardship and fear, tears yeah I got em Longing to be six again, worries like foggy mornings Pain trickles through delicate skin without warning. Moonrise ever present, hovering over my red eyes Darkness suffocating me, smothering my soft sighs. Times have changed so fast for me Years and pages turn so suddenly How I were I were still Daddy's little girl On top of his shoulders, on top of the world. Grown up too soon, life's cruel lessons learned young Alone in reality with my tears and my bitten tongue Wrapped up with an artificial light to keep me warm My security blanket now's tattered and torn. Daddy's little girl faded away without so much as goodbye How I wish you'd hold me now, Daddy, wipe the tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegeta rocker Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 This reminds me off that story about a mother and son. She used to rock him and say my baby you'll be. Then when he grew up he would hold and rock her and say my mother you'll always be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]God, that's a really...detailed poem. Your work always impresses me, and you have a great and deep thought program running in your head. Where do you get your inspiration from, or is it all just imaginaery?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 [color=red] As [strike]A[/strike]jeh pointed out, you used some wrong words for the line's structure, which, I'm not sure purposeful or not, detracted from my overall experience of the poem. But, that was really good. Very good, in fact. Much improved over your other works you've posted. So, I'd give you about a 7.8/10 (An 8/10 if you were to fix the mistakes). Keep 'em coming.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
