Conversation With A Small Child
For The Vocal Dialogue Poetry Challenge
Introduction
By its very nature this has to be a free-form poem. Many of us will have had this conversation or something very similar, not only with small children but with rebellious teenagers and even annoying characters you have to sometimes work with.
The music is the brilliant "Problem Child" by Graham Parker and The Rumour from the album "Stick To Me"

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.

But... why? I never discouraged mine from questioning, and only lament that I hadn't better answers. Well-wrought!
