give me your favorites.
What is your favorite poem by ellen hopkins? from burned,crank ect.?
I Sort of Remember
Crawling up into daddy鈥檚 lap
When dad was still
Daddy
Nodding my head against
His chest, soaking in
The comfort of his heart
Listening
To the thump鈥hump,
Somewhere beneath muscle
And breastbone, I remember
His arms, their sublime
Encircling
And the shadow of his voice;
I love you little girl
Put away your bad dreams
Daddy鈥檚 here
I put them away. Until
Daddy became my nightmare,
The one that came
Home
From work everyday
And instead of picking me
Up, chased me far, far away.
from burned...its my absolute favorite because i relate to it 1000% and it brings tears to my eyes everytime i read it..but i LOVE all of her books though. even though they never really have a happy ending.
