    Daughter Dear

    Skin as soft as butterfly wings

    Tiny seed pearl teeth fixed in a mischievous grin

    Delicate ears like shells

    Soft flowing hair, clover honey in color

    Until the sunlight catches those natural golden highlights

     

    Expressive eyes, so full of

    Wonder, imagination, curiosity

    Fringed with thick dark lashes too numerous to count

    Though I’ve made many attempts

     

    The hidden dimple on your right cheek

    That only shows itself when you are truly delighted

    You alone fill my world

    With endless hope and boundless love

    Tribute! Exactly! That was the word I was trying to bring to mind without ever using it. Thanks for the kind words!

    This poem is anmatedly warm. A perfect portrait of maternal love an adoration.. A cine or video close-up strip of delight . Faultless versification and diction. Pride and exuberance of spirit controlled with propriwty, Not too much volubility (Just the correct amount) nor excessive adulation. My rating for exquisitivwnwss, ssymmetry and charming clarity is a full 10.

    Ah, yes, I tell her often that she is so easy to love... :)

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
