Picture Poem~ 'Little Girl in Pink'


Here's my picture poem! Who's the girl in pink? It's kind of obvious... Sorry if the formatting is not done correctly or perfectly, Blogger doesn't allow tabs. The original format was no indent on the first line, 1 indent on the second line, and two indents on the third.


I see a girl in pink who,
with all her heart loves 
her dad.
I see a girl in pink who,
sleeps in her crib
with her mobile above her.
I see a girl in pink  who,
sits in front of the TV
watching Sesame Street.
I see  girl in pink  who,
cries for her dad,
when she fears a monster is under her bed.
I see a girl in pink who,
sits on the floor of her bedroom
playing with barbies and polly pockets.
I see a girl in pink who,
waits by the door with her backpack
ready for the first day of kindergarten.
I see a girl in pink who,
stands flamboyantly on stage smiling big and proud
ready to graduate.
I see a girl in pink who,
glares at her dad after he takes
a billion pictures of her before prom.
I see a girl in pink who,
has luggage packed and ready to go
as she heads off to college.
I see a girl in pink who,
sits in her office
with certificates plastered on the walls behind her.
I see a girl in pink who,
has gone bridezilla
the day before her wedding.
I see a girl in pink who,
sits in her own child’s nursery
rubbing her own swollen stomach.
I see a girl in pink who,
sheds a tear
after holding her child for the first time.
I see all of this,
playing in my head
by looking at this little baby girl,
in pink.
But, just for now,
let’s stick with the girl in pink who,
loves her dad with all her heart.

  1. I really like this poem because I can tell that this came from deep down and it was an overall very good poem with good word choice.
