I don't usually bather on about my kiddo. I'm funny that way. However, the kiddo writes... and seeing as how I'm not getting bupkiss done as far as writing, I'm going to share theirs.
A bit of background. This was written as an assignment today. The class is Junior English 2. They've been focusing on poetry and sonnets and the like. The following is what my child turned in today. Enjoy... comments appreciated.
Beautiful Harm
My Heart in your hands comely tangled,
I'm trapped there in your calloused scornful grasp,
Held captive by those hands I am mangled,
They hold tightly on my vein like a clasp.
I can't escape you or your demanding,
I scream aloud my cries fall on deaf ears,
My will is yours there is no expanding,
You only let go to grab some more beers.
As you grab I proceed to run away,
My heart is jumping from those damn drunken hands,
Now I have escaped I know what to say,
But I go back like all those rubber bands.
I know no one else will love me,
You are my best chance at love with no fee.
