NaPoWriMo Day 16: Today we challenge you to write a poem of over-the-top compliments. Pick a person, place, or thing you love, and praise it in the most effusive way you can. Go for broke with metaphors, similes, and more.
Here’s to two people I love the most!
Poem: You light up my world
Darkness.
Despondency.
Anxiety. Uncertainty.
A strange silence echoing on Earth
But not here in my little world
Welcome to my family
Here two munchkins create havoc at the drop of a hat
Sadness and silence-
Two aliens in my abode
Dark clouds of ambiguity turn pale in a minute here
Pranks, smirks, tricks and leisure
These boys have found ways I could never discover
Like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day
They light up the room
With their innocuous presence
A sign of melancholy on my face and they know just what to say
“Mom, are you okay? Coffee? Can I help?”
Some chitchat, some telltales, and day is bright as ever
They always find something special in the most ordinary things
Being around them makes everything better
Hey my lovely kids! The reason for my heartbeat
You’re better than a triple-scoop ice cream cone, with sprinkles
You’re all that and a super-size bag of chips
You always know how to make me smile
Somehow you make time stop and fly at the same time
You help me feel more joy in life
You’re a gift to those around you
You’re one of a kind
You bring out the best in other people
You are the most perfect you there is
Thank you for being you,
Thank you for being there for me!
