[bodytext] => Oh, Daddy If I told you I loved him harder than Rock candy And I believed him To sparkle That he wouldn't Break me If I told you He had buttons Sewn to his chest And if I pushed one With my independent tongue The switch turned on And his mood spun like a ceiling fan Oh daddy, I watched him Accelerate To a place I saw you go before When mother pushed your button And your fist Went through The pantry door And the hole That split me Wide open Stayed there without repair Baking in the kitchen Like burnt air But Daddy, the memory Is always there like a birthmark I've spent years forgetting Covering up Stitching my mouth shut And his voice, like yours Is carbonated, Wake me when the roof blows off And all the birds fly away —The birds can Fly away Oh Daddy, please explain How breaking things Is brave Just criss-crossed signals From the brain How you lost your ears So you wouldn't hear What mother had to say Now Daddy Don't be alarmed You were the one Who taught me That cannibal sound And I should have turned around Seen the pain line on my palm A little girl who used to sew Your buttons Back on [comments] => 3 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 43 [informant] => manicmuze [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
