Sally-Sam's SingSong

by Everlasting   Jul 30, 2015


Sally-Sam 'silently' sings in her mind 'aloud'
when her mama screams: "Sally-Sam!"
But Sally-Sam startled, wide-opens her eyes.

She asks: "Mama, did you read my mind?"

Sally-Sam is six, skinny, and sweet.
She swirls with her favorite flowery skirt, legs crossing in twirls,
with shoulders sassily scintillating a shrug.

her mama replies, "come here, silly girl!"

But Sally-Sam still in shock stays in her spot.
Unsound, still silently singing her song,
she asks again, "mama, can you read my mind?"

Her mama says, "Sally-Sam!"

And Sally-Sam giggling and with a big smile says,

"Mama! How do you know my song?"

haha! See how the sweet silly sagacious girl
enjoys messing up with her mom.

    Alliteration is fun and if it's going to be used so blatently, it needs to be a fun piece too, in my opinion, and this truly is a fun read.

    Hope you are well, Lucero

    Great poem here with lots of energy!

    This was a fun read honestly, I love the rhyming throughout it, it's kind of like a childhood rhyme - I mean I can see it being one.

    It's really vivid in the way you have put the words on the paper (internet) because they just JUMP out to the reader so easily. It's truly a poem which you can imagine realistically due to the cheekiness of children.

    I love the interaction between mother and daughter as well as the game they're both playing with each other. Reminds me of my nephews in a way.

    Truly brought a smile to my face, one which I need so thank you. I will try to read more of your work in the coming days.

    Keep it up!
    5/5
