Sing-song bedtime tales
you can count on every night
to keep her dreams sweet.
-
Poems with a beat
for her to bounce along to
in crisscross dad lap.
-
Drawings that she will
want tattooed of Jack Nimble
so she can't forget.
-
And cadence she will
keep poised on her pen and tongue
long after you're gone.
-
This poem was written in response to the #BookReviewHaiku challenge issued by Judey Kalchik.
