Notes About The Poem

Peek a Boo

Oh yes, I see you, the Doc let me peek
for so long you were blurred no more than a
little gray wiggly blob Daddy would say boo

to [as if you could hear him?] saying "boo".
Maybe you did hear because out you came a
bit early! Dad was there again to peek.

Sorry about the light being so bright, a
bit scary. You started boo hooing, boo,
but you were gorgeous, still, at first peek.

So, of course your first game was peek a boo!

Hmmm...where is the 'about the poem'? You know, this made me think of when my son was born. He just wouldn't come out! Part of his head would pop out and then would suck right back in...ha. He was a big boy...bout 9lbs. Ended up having to have a C-section. Peek A BOO!

Very clever use of the tritina, and it fit the theme perfectly! Good luck! Just saw a possible typo. Check line 9, you vs your. Cheers, Roy

I really like yours, Debs. It's different, out of the box. One thing though, I did not understand the function of "a" in your last stanza / line one. by the way, Craig and I discussed this form and he realized that I was right about it. The Tritina does not make you use your three words side by side at the end of the final phrase. I did not do mine that way, and I hope others can realize it is not necessary.
