Brian Faulkner Poet Rhyme

Brandi's Cheer

"Not too sad-bad a day," I sigh,
"Not too".
When then I cry "boo-hoo"
One wonders why.
I tell thee.

When Brandi's cheer's not here
There's pairs of tears near drops,
And no thing sings or wings
Till Brandi's sadness stops.

Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, all night,
Nor sight of light or height,
Till Brandi's lips grow strong
And throw the sky some song!

Danielle White November 29, 2008 at 2:01 AM "Not too." Period should be inside quotation mark. (Sorry, it's the proof-reader in me.) ****************************************** Is this about your little girl? I really loved this poem, it spoke to me. What more can you ask from a few well chosen words? Love the way you express yourself. Danielle
