Spin Cycle: Say it in Rhyme

This week's spin made me melancholy (a five dollar word, that one!) for English class. We were instructed to write a poem!

The last time I tried to write one was several years ago during of a random phase of "I'm a poet (I'm so not)! I can write poetry (I so can't. *sigh*)!" However, Jen just said to write a poem about anything we want to, she didn't say it had to be good.

And since the only thing I can rhapsodize on effectively is my children, I give you:

Ode to Elizabeth’s Eyelashes

Oh, what feathery lengths of lace

Adorn the eyes on my child's face.

Their dark and fluttery expanse

Creates a mystical blinking dance.

Oh, that luscious silky frill
That delights me now, and always will.

Often, they make her cry,

"Mama! I have an eyelash in my eye!"

Still, I look at that glorious ruffle,

And my sighs of jealousy I do muffle.

She inherited them from her dad,
And about that I can only be glad.

P.S. Lilli has them too! I love genetics!
