Isabel Laracuente Poet Rhyme

The Plea

"Baby, don't leave me."
The mother said to the child
The mother was all the child knew
The mother needed the child's smile

The child didn't know the hell before it
The road to hell was paved in manipulation
The hell was a place the child never knew
A place that gave many lacerations

The mother never wanted a baby
All the mother wanted was a friend
But the child, she could mold it
The child, she could twist and bend

The mother could make the child stay
Let it be warm and let it feed
The child knew naught before its rescue
All the child knew was the plea

Skat A May 30, 2016 at 12:21 PM Isabel,, Welcome to Poetry Soup. It will be a delight to read and become familiar with your poems in the future. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :) Drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs **YNR - SKAT** Isabel Laracuente June 1, 2016 at 6:42 PM HI! :) Thanks for being really nice, well everyone here is, but you asked me to say hi so I figured why not. Anyways, if anyone other than SKAT can read this, just read on if you wanna learn more about me like she asked. I've always been a straight A student despite family and financial issues, writing is my biggest passion, and I'm ecstatic to be here. That's pretty much it. Thanks -Isabel
