In honor of people that make us feel special.


Relative

enfold me splendidly singular
countermanding thine own insecure
shriek at my luxuriant chocolate locks
which was comparable to a cardboard box

personal progeny were beauties
longly lashed cultivated snooties
yet, I felt on par, clever and stylish
tho' in retrospect shabby and bookish

behold cherished auntie
not a real relation
but more like family
then those of creation

she exhausted not much more than a dime
but ad infinitum quality time
fawning and fussing a personage
acclaiming with abundant homage

she had me in a moon eyed hypnotic trance
amidst a laudatory fairy dust dance
raise the reckoning with reticence
a-stumbling askance with hesitance

behold cherished auntie
not a real relation
but more like family
then those of creation

as a memory mostly divine
inserted more than a slender line
as sundry glimmering glories she begot
my choice countenance tightened into a knot

in lieu of parody I repay
mediocrity she did allay
her physical essence hath departed
forever the spirit she imparted
