137 Poetry Prompt


"Love Poem Number 137"
By: Kylee Nicklas
Poem For my dad

Everyday she waits for him
For him to walk through the door
For him to open his arms wide like a birds
And hug her until she can barely breath
As his stubble sharp like prickers rubs against her cheeks
She smiles and hugs him back
Taking in the scent of cologne

Everyday he works hard to support his family
He would do anything for his family
He would take a bullet for his daughter
And she would take one for him

Every day as the clock hits 5 the door flings open
One day there will be a new toy for her to play with
Another will be a souvenir he brought her from a business trip
And other days the hug will be the greatest present of all

He goes through so much and is yet so calm
People look at them and see the resemblence
They are like twins who do everything together
Shes the comedian of the family and hes her audience
The only one that laughs at her jokes

And when they go through a tough time
They have two shoulders for you to cry on
Gentle hands to sooth you
And a heart that radiates love

Love is the rope that holds them together
It can rip and tear
But it can never snap
