A New Poem

I finally got the inspiration to write another poem. This one is more towards a children's poem, but I thought it was sweet. I debated writing it as a story, but thought it would fit better as a poem. It is still kind of written as a story, which is another reason why I wanted to try something new in how I write poetry.

Concerning My Knee

My daughter asked me,

“Why don’t you write a poem

About your knee?”

I looked back and asked,

“Why should I write a poem

About my knee?”

She said matter of factly,

“It doesn’t have to be a wholly poem,

It can just be a verse.”

I reminded her,

“You didn’t answer my question.

Why should I write a poem

About my knee?”

She smiled and said,

“Because it would mean

Everything to Momma.”

I asked quizzically,

“Why do you say that?”

She leaned in close

As if to tell me a big secret

And whispered softly to me,

“Momma told me today,

‘Daddy means everything

To me, Dear.

He’s my You Knee Verse.’”
