First Place (shared) ~ Submitted to "Bio Poem Poetry Contest" sponsored by Eve Roper.
Inspiration for the title came from the phrase, "me oh, my oh," in Jambalaya, a song written and sung by Hank Williams, Sr. He rhymes the phrase with "bayou," which he pronounces as "bio."
Pops
Kind husband, vigilant father, loving son, mischievous brother
Brother of Lizard and Kippie-bombs
Lover of Khatabeak, Danbug and Benbot
Who feels joyful, happy and satisfied
Who fears giant Joro spiders, level 4 biohazards, and tsunamis
Who would like to see an end to mourning, outcry and pain
Resident of Fort Benjamin Hawkins, Georgia
Daddy
My wife sustains my life, leaves me always wanting more
Just love her sweet persistence, she’s the one that I adore
From her I get—action, main attraction, chain reaction
From her I get—kindness, love that binds us, to remind us
