Poke (an acrostic poem)

Pushing her to her limit

Only she couldn’t react

Knowing it would just encourage him

Except he was so cute when his pudgy toddler finger pushed her tummy and he squeaked …

Ration (an acrostic poem)

Reaching into the sack, he handed his daughter a small potato

And her look of disappointment hurt his heart so much

That was the best he could do, at least she would have something in her tummy tonight

If he could do more, he would

Only if he gave her more now, she would go without later that week

Now to bully his hunger into being quiet until he got her to bed
