Description:
Not many people will understand this piece because not many have a relative, a daughter, a sister who is autistic.
And even then, not many people have Emily for a sister.
And even then, not many people have Emily for a sister.
Dulce Dulce Dulce
My sister is 13 and She has one friend ::Dulce:: My mother invited Dulce To Emily's birthday party. Dulce's mother said yes And Emily was happy -an amazing grin on her face -bouncing up and down the couch in her blue dress. Two hours into the party And the one friend Still hadn't arrived The one friend's mother called And Emily was happy To hear Dulce's name In the conversation. My mother stopped her Fussing in the kitchen, Set down the phone, Told her Dulce was not coming. Yes, yes Dulce come ::nod::nod:: No, no Dulce can't come Yes...y..yes No. And then a sudden gasp For air, a wail of disappointment [I wanted to reach into the ear piece of the phone, Grab the woman and squeeeeeeeezzz]. And the couch sat still; The blue dress deflated and floated back to earth. She was 14 when she finally landed. |

| Wow. I loved this piece. And you are right, I cannot relate. I can imagine that sad look on her face though, and just seeing the disappointment in her eyes, oh it would be heartbreaking. I didn't really understand what you meant what you said She was 14 when she finally landed. If you could explain, that would be awesome. Great read/write!

Even if that something is "Sheesh I really like it!" I can just imagine Emily nodding, and being so excited about Dulce. :-[ <3 Lucy | Posted on 2007-11-14 00:00:00 | by LucyDiamond | [ Reply to This ] | dude, this almost brought tears to my beautiful luscious, chocolate colored eyes. | NO joke. The effect of emily being 13 and landing as 14 was pretty powerful. The emotions was definitely felt like a wave of heat. it made me think back again and you definitely captured all the emotions. the sadness and disappointment all at once. Especially to emily that has no friend but one. Dulce Dulce Dulce....what am I going to do with you?? The back and forth conversation that mama and emily had wen she didn't want to believe that Dulce was coming...definitely made this poem even more heartfelt. "And the couch sat still; The blue dress deflated and floated back to earth." Very good....very very good.
