Notes About The Poem

Oh Daddy

Oh my
You seem to be very quiet now
Funny you see
Was I you said to be quiet

Oh Daddy
Where is your smile?
Finally I can admire you
Lying there carved in red

Oh daddy
You always dressed me up so pretty
In church I was the belle of the Mississippi
Buried now, you underestimated this little missy

Oh Lordy
Have mercy on my little soul
The devil inside me had a go
He though shall never ever ever touch anyone so

Oh mammy
You closed your eyes
You blocked your ears
Never to see your little daughters tears

Oh No
They want to send me to a crazy place
I am normal, tiss the adults a disgrace
Let them try and place me in that closed little space

Oh no
I sit and stare
I will get you all
Of that you need not dare

Don’t close your eyes
With my knife I could be here or there

Good for her. It breaks me that any man could do that to a child.

WoW! Arthur, The picture alone gave me a creepy feeling. Your poem and picture go hand and hand. They both are dark and sinister. You captured the feeling of something horrifying real well. A without a doubt seven-Alexis"
