Kimberly Hartzell Poem by matthew harris

Kimberly Hartzell
(countless years hug hoe ~ a half dozen)

twas spawned a fondness
for thee above named young lady,
when she first got assigned to thine offspring,

a glint of genuine virtue grew
into a shimmering orb
of brilliant radiance
if accorded a tone - would ring

the tune of countless angels,
which imagined beatific,
Democratic, fantastic...sounds
generated via many wing

heavenly music filling the cosmos
with joy as august aural,
choral, epochal...tones would zippily zing

from across the universe
spurring one me silly mortal
to contrive apropos verse
attempting to capture her aura,
charisma, enigma...purse
sue ing a dynamic link

with said progeny - n did nurse
emotional and spiritual value
with dedication she did immerse

latent social services skill,
plus natural radiance a blessed hire
at Central - in Norristown, Pennsylvania,
whose visits i will miss and tha lyre

plucking voice stilled concern
for precious Shana, who does a spire
to challenge and grow -
this father may spill syrup tears -

his lessoned role of parenthood
he didst not tire
and glad fate that though our paths
will probably not criss cross
curiosity will gnaw within me noggin -

and possibly rub raw the minor loss
viz, the persevering maiden USA touch of Kim -
lichened to Hart tee Moss
in her rooted cultivation of care
toward thee biological lass a lucky toss

of the genetic combination
from Matthew and Abby Harris - our jewel
shimmering with facets of luminescence
reminding me of one human gem stone a kool
aid - priceless staff member of the human league,

whose golden presence doth gently rule
without doubt a beloved unbridled
perhaps blissfully wedded priceless counterpart
some lucky guy pledging his troth yes - yule
see stars in your eyes
no doubt disappointment felt by other guys
envious of he, who snagged kimberly hartzell -
so worthy and wise!
