Looking out the window

I can see him below

Little Jimmy, sporting

His brand new bright

Cotton wool coat.

 

And there beside him

Is little sister Lucy

Playing with the buttons

On her bubble wrap dress.

While mother watches.

 

She stands not three feet

Behind them both with

What looks like two harnesses

In hand. Pink one and blue

no one is left out.

 

Then there’s a sudden commotion.

No time to harness up

And all three run inside

With a shriek, they lock the door.

 

And now below, a happy bee

Buzzes about his business,

Unaware of the trauma

He has caused.

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Just a fun little number inspired by the media.

rumble of the stumble

can still remember a bee flying
straight at me as a child mother
training us to be terrified of
all nature as we lived in the
country sweet

he was as large as my childs fist
i thought and i ran crying and shrieking
to my laughing mother who comforted my
fears then

Delightful Poem Kieran
I enjoyed this on this holiday
