Andrea Dietrich Poet Italian Sonnet

Granddaughters

G irls giggle and tell secrets. That’s okay!
R ambunctious boys can cause my head to ache.
A ngelic girls are easier to take.
N ight comes. They kneel beside their bed to pray.
D ear little dolls, they go to sleep straightway,
D ress up like princesses when they awake,
A nd nicely play. No trouble do they make.
U nsullied darling little nymphs are they!
G lad news for Grandma having girls again;
H ow nice I need not deal with all the woes!
T wo sisters, Lydia and Natalyn,
E arn hugs and kisses just for being kin.
R eflections of my dreams, and on life goes. . . .
S weet granddaughters let love and laughter in!

Wilma Neels May 8, 2011 at 1:36 PM hehe, Daver had me laughing with his comment Andrea, absolutely love this write of yours.. Captured the joy granddaughters bring ;) love Wilma

Daver Austin May 8, 2011 at 11:02 AM The second line is - well! How dare you! You talk like you don't like smelly little boys, little nose-pickers. I agree completely. We have one son and no daughters. I've always wanted a girl, but it wasn't in the cards. W.C. Fields was asked - "Mr. Fields, do you like little boys?" Yes, Fields said, "If they are properly cooked." Love, daver

Kash Poet May 8, 2011 at 1:54 AM Ohh this is so sweet Andrea.A lovely poem about your granddaughters.Enjoy your Sunday with them--:)

Sidney Beck May 8, 2011 at 12:04 AM oh yeaaaaaah ! aabsoluuuuutely ! I teach school and girls are a pleasure to teach, whereas boys are a constant drain on the nerves. I spend 90% of my day stopping boys from killing each other and wrecking the place. Poor girls get only a small amount of time as a result. Nicely worked out rhyme and acrostic....difficult to achieve but you've succeeded....best wishes for the contest Andrea
