Lilyism

Lily wakes up prematurely

make-up lipstick powder nose

 

Lily pads and prowls the lounge

pirouettes expensive toes

 

Lily looks askance at laundry

socks and knickers decompose

 

Lily puts her records on

harmonises talent shows

 

Lily practises her smile

wearing pantomimic clothes

 

Lily taps and points her feet

at the apostolic rows

 

Lily makes her fingers snap!

the boys adopt a slavish pose

 

Lily disses little sister

scratches hisses bruised egos

 

Lily chats on MSN

emoticonic overdose

 

Lily is beside herself

third person singular she goes

I like this Ray. You sound both loving and amused by your small daughter. And I'm sure this is the second poem in recent days to have the word emoticonic in it (and I still don't know what it means!)

No, Janet, not about a cat, but my daughter, who has a habit of talking about herself in the third person, as in:Lily would like her pocket money and Lily would like to stay out until 10.30. OK?Thanks for the response.

There's something about this i can't quite put my finger on.
I do love the images but i felt as though Lily is a cat in places and i can't make up my mind if it was intentional and maybe, just maybe my comment is observing the authors observations?

Intrigued,
Janet.x
