Eyes Of A Doe

Poetry about a child "cooking" in Granny and Grandpa's kitchen.

Big deep brown eyes
And lashes that fluttered
Grandpa grumbled
Frowned and muttered.

White baking powder
And Kool-aid galore
Chocolate fingerprints
All over the door.

The toddler was covered
From head to toe
A toothless grin
And the eyes of a doe.

"Gettin' away with murder
Is what you're lettin' him do,"
The old man laughed loudly
As he looked at the goo.

"There's no possible way
You can get mad at this,"
Granny waved her hand
And blew a nice kiss.

Standing unsteadily
On legs made of chunk
The aspiring chef
Dropped his spoon with a clunk.

Granny didn't care
If the room was a mess
'Cause of her grandson
She truly felt blessed.

A very nice tale.
"The toddler was covered
From head to toe

And the eyes of a doe."
Kids can make a mess and a good memory. Thank you Melissa for sharing the excellent poetry.

Enjoyed your poem. Children are so precious. "the eyes of a doe." Their innocence, their natural curiosity. "Granny didn't care If the room was mess 'Cause of her grandson She truly felt blessed." Well written. Keep writing.

Beautiful captured memory of fun mess and happy times. I remember thinking thats what grannies were for, cooking and wiping up your pawprints off every surface. :)

Thank you, alifeacoustic! My husband and I have five grandchildren and, believe me, I let them get away with things that I know their Mommy and Daddy never would. Haha! Isn't that what being a grandparent is all about? :)

Ah, this is so sweet. I liked this little peek into granny's kitchen with her little blessing. Very cute.

Thank you, Keli! I am glad you enjoyed this. I thought of my own grandchildren as I was writing it. Spoiling grandchildren is a full-time job! Haha!
