Lullaby

Tyler poem. Written January 8, 2009. (( O.o Whoa. Seriously? My first 2009 poem? Wow. Lame. ))

Waves crashing on the shore? 

None of that, not any more.

Wind whispering in my ear?

That's not the lullaby I'd like to hear.

 

A deep caress at it's worst

In the morning, it's what I hear first.

Loving words are what's best.

That lullaby puts all chaos to rest.

 

The beating of a wooden drum?

It doesn't sound like any fun.

A soft, beautiful melody?

It just doesn't do a thing for me

 

Loud and excited or quiet and small.

It doesn't matter, I love it all.

Even when he says silly words,

His voice is the best lullaby I've ever heard.

Author's Note

Originally, the last two lines read
"Even when he says foul words,
His voice is the best lullaby I've ever heard"... But 'foul' didn't seem so appropriate... And my Tyler is verah silly so... It seemed better... XD I have no idea lol.

I truly loved this, I do believe the change of the last two lines is appropriate, and makes for a very nice read. Looking forward to reading more of your work as I see a lot of talent here. P.W.

wow!! now that's a kick start of the new year!! :) loved the poem and the concept too... but i guess "foul words" would have made more sense to the context here... just a suggestion... :)
