Favorite Quote:
&quot;The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are the underlings.&quot;<br /> Cassius<br /> *Julius Caesar*<br /> William Shakespeare


They look up at me,

Loving every second of the attention I give to them

They're young, still unused to it

 

The young feet slap across our driveway,

Looking eachother in the eye

Argueing lovingly, playfully "Hulk or Cinderella"

 

I tell them I love them to the edge of the universe

But they're too young to understand distance

So they look at the moon, imagining instead

 

I look at the young children, love in my eyes, and squeeze their hands- I am          still unused to the attention.

This is a style of poem called tritina. I wrote it for a class project.
