Today's prompt was to write a poem in the 3rd person, without words like I, me, my, or even us or you. So here's my attempt:
She sits on the couch
reading
OK, she can't read yet
But he marvels at how intelligent
she seems
Looking at the pictures
She laughs to herself
Does she know he's watching her?
Assessing her?
She is his perfect daughter
He tries to be a perfect father
It's easy, he thinks, to blame
the world
To believe it is not his fault
That it's not his decisions that
hold him back
She makes a noise behind him
He turns
It's time to play
That's a decision that's easy
to make
-Justin M. Howe
