When Emma scrunches up her nose and knits her tiny brow,

My granddaughter spins a happy web of hyphens that connect-her-eyes.

My granddaughter spins a happy web of hyphens that connect-her-eyes.
|
||
|
|
Connect her up, her brow, her nose, a web of Emma scrunches
|
||
|
|
That, when granddaughter knits, spins tiny hyphens and my happy eyes.

|
Will dull as she forgets slow what we've already lost.
|
||
|
|
As sky already forgets spring, we've but dull old blues, slow, fast
|
||
|
|
And near, some big time. What, she will get lost early, too.

Her wise eyes smirk: here's to whatever we the grownups might recall.
|

To angel eyes, we hovering grownups, smirk wise tutors, accuse:
|

|

Here's her whatever, her tousled recall, her twinkly might, the pouts.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
When old tutors smirk pouts, we've tousled her twinkly time.
|

|

The wise get fast too early and slow her will some,
|
||
|
|
And as granddaughter knits up that tiny nose, spins her brow of scrunches,
|
||
|
|
She already near lost her might. Here's what big dull sky forgets:
|
||
|
|
Spring blues, her happy eyes, her hyphens -------- , a web.
|

|
|
But recall, my Emma, hovering angel eyes, connect to grownups, whatever we accuse.
