Momma, I love to watch you cook.
Someday when I am a Momma,
I'll cook food for my family too,
But we'll have ice cream instead of chicken.

Daddy, you love to play with me
And my three little brothers.
You work all day
But then you come home
And call me your "Princess Punkin Head".

Mimi, you want me to play piano,
So you give me a golden locket.
If I promise to play
And never give up,
I can keep it and remember you.

Pawpaw, you have so many pets
And grill some great food.
I love your hayrides
And boat rides in gator water  
And playing a game of croquet.

Nana, you are so sweet and so quiet.
Your hugs are warm,
Just like the cookies we make,
Decorated with red-hots
And white icing.

Papaw, you're not quiet at all!
But you taught me to swim,
To fish, to shoot guns,
And to identify the
Long-legged beggar bird.

Was supposed to write a poem from my childhood. I couldn't choose just one person to write about, so I ended up with this. It may be better for someone who actually knows what I'm talking about, but oh well.
Pawpaw lives in Louisiana -- that's why there are gators...

Although this piece scared me a little (from the rich poignancy, which I love~), I felt drawn to your piece! ^^ The emotion is very powerful, and I like the theme. Excellent work!

The honesty and poignancy of the piece just gave it an eerie feel to me... But I'm a bit strange... ^^
You're welcome too!

I might not have the personal perspective, but I can still identify with the angles and emotions.

This is a great piece.

I really like this! Even if I'm not from Louisiana, I think it captures some of the spirit I believe exists there. Nonetheless, it captures childhood perfect and it's a very good poem =)
