I was inspired by Sarah Todman’s wonderful Instagram poetry this week to have a go creating my own Insta-poem – and here it is.
“Who’s your favourite daughter?”
“The dog,” I say,
Sitting on her bed,
With a hundred soft toys.
Her life,
In plush.
“Who’s your favourite daughter?”
“The dog,” I say,
Driving in the car,
Sad-girl Indie.
Her songs,
Not mine.
“Who’s your favourite daughter?”
“The dog,” I say,
Walking by the water,
Prodding her shoulder.
She squeals,
I laugh.
I recommend Sarah’s Instagram account for heaps more great poetry. I met her recently at Queensland State Library – lovely woman, lovely poems.
