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 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on October 1, 2018 for contest A POEM OF REACTION sponsored by JULIA WARD

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
