Reason A. Poteet Poet Verse

Some Bragging Rights

 compound word verse 
Any youngster can make us smile
It's special, when it's our grandchild
it's awesome.

A new grandson brings on more fun
blond-haired, blue-eyed, the smallest one
cuddlesome.

A twelve year old girl, full of joy
Eight year old brother, busy boy
now threesome.

Shelley, Brendon and baby Case
once empty nest, a lively place
not lonesome.

Baby noise rattles our rafters
crying, sucking, burping, laughters 
he's winsome.
