Cory Long Poet Free verse

Daddys Ride

Every Friday he would arrive 
but never would he be on time.
A little girl’s hopes built up high
while she sat there waiting for that ride.
Eventually he would show
 but by then she did not want to go.
They would sit and argue until someone gave in.
Never did she win.
Pulling away from her home
knowing deep down the judge would say no,
that on Fridays she did not have to go.

Russell Sivey August 16, 2011 at 10:58 PM Aww, how sad. I feel for the daughter, it's hard enough going back and forth between the two and now to have her not wanting to go with her dad which implies many things! Is there a happy ending? Thanks for sharing this great write! Good luck in the contest!!

Carolyn Devonshire August 16, 2011 at 5:18 PM How sad this father didn't treat his daughter with more love and respect, Cory. Sounds likehe doesn't deserve her. Very touching, dear. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
