Son Shine
His smile
a thousand rays of sunshine
His laugh
a hundred birds singing
His dancing
a silly smile and laugh
His curiosity
a hundred cats
His temper
a howling hurricane
Sweet, silly, stubborn, bold
is he
The Meeting the Bar prompt at dVerse Poets Pub today offered choices. My initial thought was that the Oulipo option was perfect for the Terza Rima / Hebrew Acrostic I’m working on because I enjoy working with forms and combining them. And I may finish that in time to post to Mr. Linky for this prompt, but I may not. So I decided to take one of my older poems and respond to the Reduction option. The original poem titled “My Son Shine” is here if you want to compare.
