Sara Kendrick Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Notes About The Poem

The Child

Through the zoom lense see
A child at her play 
After the rain pours
A whole week or more
The soaked earth invites

Come play with me
Make mud pies dear
Feel the squishy
Grainy, wet dirt

Let it coat 
Let it smear
Dirt on ear

Mucky
Sticky

Soil

Sand

Sweep it
Mop it

Remove it
Get it off 
Every floor

Can't stand that dirt
Not one grain leave
Get it all swept 
And off the floors

Wash clothes 'til sparkly
Get spots off the wall
Can't stand that dry dirt
Can't stand wet at all
Through zoom lense now see

David Aaron February 19, 2016 at 10:29 AM Such vivid imagery. I can see that child at play, and then balking when it's time to clean up. A great poem.
