For the A-Z challenge, we decided to post a new and original poem every day. Today, Regina has the letter "F".
Fool's Day
April first seated in an
audience of fools,
he interrupts to introduce
her.
And I watch student
surpass mentor,
the way child
often exceeds parent.
At sixteen, Muse
provides no light
in my dark.
But still does for him.
She is promise,
in skin tight jeans
and worn
Chuck Taylor's.
Eloquent, slim,
beautiful with Daddy issues.
Enough accomplishments
for old bloods to drink
hers.
Fountain of Youth
reflecting her own mother's
years of single
mother-dom,
3 kids in.
