(a salvation for my then junior high school youngest daughter afflicted with cognitive dissonance, who over the intervening years (mor'n half dozen Earth orbitz ago), I dashed off this poem witnessed nothing short of miraculous transformation evinced and witnessed by profound learning displaying significant aptitude cognition).
twas spawned fondness
for above named
young lady,
when she got assigned
to thine offspring
a glint of genuine
virtue grew
into shimmering orb
of brilliant radiance
if accorded sound -
would ring
the tune of
countless angels,
which imagined beatific,
Democratic,
fantastic...sounds
generated via many wing
heavenly music filling
cosmos with
joy as august aural,
choral, epochal...tones
would zippily zing
from across universe
spurring one
me silly mortal
to contrive this verse
attempting to capture her
aura, charisma,
enigma...purse
sue wing dynamic link
with progeny did nurse
emotional and
spiritual value
dedication she
did immerse
latent social services skill
plus natural radiance
a blessed hire
at Central in
Norristown, Pennsylvania,
whose visits i miss lyre
plucking voice
stilled concern
for precious Shana Punim,
who aspires
to challenge and grow
this father
may spill tears
his lessoned
fatherhood role
n'er did aye tire
and glad fate
that though our paths
will probably
not criss cross
curiosity will gnaw
within noggin,
and possibly
rub raw minor loss
viz, the persevering
maiden USA touch of Kim
lichened to moss
in her rooted
cultivation of care
toward biological
lass a lucky toss
of the genetic combination
from Matthew
and Abby Harris
our jewel
shimmering facets
of luminescence
reminding me human
gem stone a kool
aid - priceless
staff member
of human league,
whose golden presence
doth gently rule
without doubt
a beloved
unbridled
priceless counterpart
some lucky guy
pledging his troth yes –
she yule
see stars in her eyes
no doubt disappointment
felt by other guys
envious of he,
who snagged
Kimberly Hartzell
so worthy and wise!
