Matthew Harris Poet Free verse

Kimberly Hartzell

(a salvation for my then junior high school youngest daughter afflicted with cognitive dissonance, who over the intervening years (mor'n half dozen Earth orbitz  ago), I dashed off this poem witnessed nothing short of miraculous transformation evinced and witnessed by profound learning displaying significant aptitude cognition).

twas spawned fondness 
   for above named young lady,
   when she got assigned 
   to thine offspring

a glint of genuine virtue grew 
   into shimmering orb
   of brilliant radiance 
   if accorded sound - would ring

the tune of countless angels, 
   which imagined beatific,
   Democratic, fantastic...sounds 
   generated via many wing

heavenly music filling  
   cosmos with joy as august aural,
   choral, epochal...tones 
   would zippily zing

from across universe
spurring one me silly mortal 
   to contrive this verse
attempting to capture her 

   aura, charisma, enigma...purse
sue wing dynamic link 
   with progeny did nurse
emotional and spiritual value 
   dedication she did immerse

latent social services skill 
   plus natural radiance
   a blessed hire
at Central in Norristown, Pennsylvania,
   whose visits i miss lyre

plucking voice 
   stilled concern for precious Shana Punim,
   who aspires to challenge and grow 
   this father may spill tears 
his lessoned fatherhood role 

   n'er did aye tire
and glad fate that though our paths
   will probably not criss cross
curiosity will gnaw within noggin, 
   and possibly rub raw minor loss

viz, the persevering 
   maiden USA touch of Kim 
   lichened to moss
in her rooted cultivation of care
   toward biological lass a lucky toss

of the genetic combination
   from Matthew 
   and Abby Harris our jewel
shimmering facets of luminescence
   reminding me human 

   gem stone a kool
aid - priceless staff member 
   of human league,
   whose golden presence doth gently rule

without doubt a beloved 
   unbridled priceless counterpart
   some lucky guy 
   pledging his troth yes – she yule

see stars in her eyes
no doubt disappointment 
   felt by other guys
envious of he, 
   who snagged Kimberly Hartzell 
   so worthy and wise!
