Nostalgia-inducing poetry inspired by our earliest favorites; from Dr. Seuss to Mother Goose, children’s poetry is all grown up.
Alphabet Soup
The main character, Elizabeth came home from school, after not having much to eat during the school day. Elizabeth entered her tiny wooden house and bundled herself up with light coloured denim jeans, white snowboots, her most-loved checkered pink and purple sweater, her sparkly magenta winter coat and her wavy, shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair was tied up in pigtails. She loooked forward coming home and having soup for dinner. She loved eating her mother's homemade alphabet soup that she’s made since Elizabeth was two years old. She was only a little girl and an only child of a single mom who enjoyed cooking and spending time with her daughter. Her famous Spicy Tomato ABC Stew that she serves Elizabeth twice a week on winter school nights. Elizabeth loved using her yellow porcelain bowl that her grandmother bought her before she passed away from old age.

Surge
Oh this dog I see, so big and blonde reminiscent of a boy long gone. So eager to please, and happy all the time. Cute and lovable, and then they start to grow, cute puppy becomes big dog, little boy becomes big man. Cute to cute, cute to homely, dust to dust. Ashes to ashes, of how this puppy dog grew up, into a beautiful young dog, But the boy, hardly grew up at all, Did he? Only a shade of cuteness, long gone and past by the boy. He is a man now he is grown, but in my mind is he not still, that this little boy who wished only, to please, and be loved unconditionally? Does he not deserve the love, that the little puppy dog gets. Even now he’s a big doggy lad? Who still loves the attention and pets every single day.
