Line Gauthier Poet Ode

Sweet Darling Tomboy

Little darling
You’d be so sweet 
With your hair done up in pigtails
Dressed up in a pink frilly dress

Your tomboy ways have charm
They’ll get you far in life
Running in the park and
Challenging yourself
A doll hardly seeming like an option

You have the eyes of a leader
The drive of a champion
But please enjoy your youth
And most of all don’t grow up too fast
I’ll take you today shopping for a doll

Timothy Mcguire October 1, 2018 at 10:00 PM Very very nice. Great poem, great theme and great ending.. Line Gauthier October 1, 2018 at 10:43 PM Thank you so much, Timothy, for your most appreciated visit and comment.

Rhona Mcferran October 1, 2018 at 8:15 PM This is sweet... It reminds me a lot of my childhood. Although I had the pink frilly dress (with silver polka dots!) and twirled in it and everything... it was my well-guarded secret around the neighbor boys. Outside, I had a tomboy reputation to keep- and I held my own! ;P Line Gauthier October 1, 2018 at 9:03 PM Sounds like you had a marvelous childhood, Rhona. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment.
