Sister

Your smile;
It spreads across your face
Creeping like sunshine
Touches the corners of your eyes
And makes them shine

Your hair;
It dances when you move your head
Whispers secrets into my ear
Whenever I put my face
Next to yours

Your feet;
They tap a wild melody;
Beating out the tempos
That flow through your head
And shimmy through your legs to the floor

Your heart;
It warms me up like
Hot chocolate
And it makes me forget
The cold;

Something only a sister could do.

Oh Erin, you know I love this!! I remember when you gave this to me for my birthday! I am so privilaged to be your sister (and the topic of this wonderful poem!!) :D

This is pretty much how I feel about my unbiological sister Tiffany. I've written a few poems just for her. I think the way you describe a sister is amazing. Great write :)

This is so fricken cute. I love it. Now I'm homesick missing my sister. Except she has short hair, so it can't dance when she moves her head. So sweet. You're much more talented than I. Especially for your age. Keep it up! Thanks for the review, lovie. (:

Aww, so pretty :) I, too, thought it was about a lover, but then i went and reread it.

WOnderful. Absolutely astonishing.

Wow, Erin, this is great. At first I thought that it was about a lover, but when I found out it was about your sister, I had to go back and reread it. Makes me appreciate it even more; I have three wonderful sisters around me, and we're always buddies! Well, mosta' the time . . . :) Great job capturing your sister, I feel like I know her already!

I know this feeling all too well; I have one sister and she's one of my best friends. =D

Great poem! And great way to show appreciation of your sister. ;) If you couldn't tell, I was trying to come up with something other than "tribute" because Wildecat used that. Haha.

This is beautiful tribute to your sister, well done.
