Kim Rodrigues Poet Curtal Sonnet

Behind the Shade

White shade’s drawn, we know Dad is tinkering.
Wheelie on tip toes, his kids’ curious.
Surprises are in store,           coming our way.

My brother and I see shadows blinkering.
Wondering! Our excitement furious —
              F U N  day.

Eleven months apart, our surprise gifts
Dad wheels out Irish twin bikes for birthdays.
His leopard. Basket on mine.   H A P P Y  us!

Nevermind trainer wheels, our progress’ swift.
              H U R R A Y!
