This is to be read aloud the way the African Storyteller lady does
A FEW WORDS BEFORE YOU GET STARTED. WELL READING THIS YOUR VOICE SHOULD FLUCTATE LOUDER THEN SOFTER LIKE THE OCEAN INFLECTION AND EMOTTION WELLING AND GROWING STRONGER.I would really like feedback on this poem as I have plans for it. suggestions, spelling, grammer, and your intial response to it.
THE SUN OUTSIDE
my daughter PLAYS, MY DAUGHTER PLAYS
she CLIMBS LIKE A MONKEY
like her MONKEY MOMMA
she is from MY FLESH
GROWN in MY WOMB
From LOVE
she is like her FATHER
like her MOTHER
LIKE HERSELF
SHE is the CULMINATION of GENERATIONS
of LOVE HATE LAUGHTER SPITE JOY and FUN
SHE is the WORLD THE FUTURE
my daughter
in her CAR SHE IS
her FATHER'S DAUGHTER
she is her GRANDFATHER, HER GREAT GRANDFATHER
SHE IS CONNECTED
MY DAUGHTER inquisitive child
instead of CRYING when she
CAME INTO THIS WORLD
SHE looked around
she is the new SCIENTIST
she is the ancient
discoverer
explorer
TOUCHING TASTING SEEING
SHE IS EVERYCHILD
my daughter
The camper
the cavewoman
THE SMILING FACE
digging in the dirt
piling moving
she is the ARCHITECT THE LABORER THE FARMER
she is my past
she is her aunts her uncles her grandparents
MY DAUGHTER
the artist the paint
on her face
fingers MOLDING FORMING SKETCHING
a line
she is DaVinchi, Matisse, Pollack
and O'Keefe
MY DAUGHTER the masterpiece
The future,the past
herself
