Brute Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 this by no means is anything equivalent to the works that are posted in here by the serious poets. I just wanted to post something to ...lighten the mood somewhat. I've been thinking of doing so for a while and it was recently mentioned elsewhere that that should be done in here, so....... My Angel Golden smiles and golden hair she perches upon my knee. Giggling, for she's in the lair of the Tickle Monster (that's me.) She laughs for me and sings a song; the words are never quite right. Who am I to say it's wrong for her performance is quite a sight. She lies sleeping now, an angel in repose. Guarding her dreams is Mr. Cow the stuffed animal with no toes. She is my greatest pride my muse, my daughter, my friend. My love for her I cannot hide For I'll always be her Poppy, to the end.
Wyvern Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 I liked this poem, Brute. It doesn't try to be anything forced, relying simply on the narrator's honest admiration for his daughter and the important role she plays in his life to relay it's message. Particularly touching are the references to narrator's personal life, such as "Mr. Cow" and playing the role of "Tickle Monster". All in all, it's a very uplifting and heartfelt ode.
Falcon2001 Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 Very good work, Brute. Very touching almost makes me want to have children someday, except they'd be like me
Tasslehoff Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 Hey Brute, that was a good poem. I like the Mr Cow part.. Funny stuff.. Even though I am afraid of cows.. But yea..

Archaneus Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 Just because it's light and happy doesn't make it any less deserving. I really think you did a good job on this one.
Brute Posted February 20, 2003 Author Report Posted February 20, 2003 thanky, thanky! I think that I'll read this to her as part of her birthday present. (Coming up soon!)
Peredhil Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 It's nice to be reminded of the joys of parenting once in a while.
