Write Me A Poem
by Natasha Anne Rose Bowman

“Write me a poem”

He breathes with conviction,

While smoky deceptions

Make veins in the air.

 

Guilt puppets children of

Guilt left by parents of

poets who write out of fear

for their art.

 

So poets make pages

Of doodles and drawings

And daughters write poems

For fathers who smile

 

But wish that their children

Would learn about grammar

And dance in pink slippers

Too small for their feet. 

 

“Just write me a poem”

He makes it sound simple,

Forgetting that daughters

Don’t always write rhymes.

Natasha, this is an excellent poem about the expectations that parents have of their children and especially of how they wish their children would express themselves. The part about 'smoky deceptions' and 'guilt puppets' conveyed to me the density of illusion that often accompanies a simple request. A powerful write!

There is so much underlying layers in this poem it is making me dizzy / That's a good thing / You have a fresh speak, at least fresh to me / I thoroughly enjoyed reading this . . .
