Zoe Abel Poems

If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.
Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view.
Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances,
Try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.

When Daddy comes home
I run and scream
To hop on your back
Possesed with gleam
...

Why do fire flies die so young?
Never to have a meaning.

Why do children grow up?
...

Mama, lets dance
twirl 'round and sing

Mama, lets hug
...
