A little girl
Sees Grandma's finger
Glistening
A little girl
Asks Grandma, why?
Grandma tells
A little girl,
My one true love
And Grandpa smiles

I tried a random thing here: just picked a photo first, then wrote the poem about what I felt it was. Kind of an experiment. Oh, and it makes absolutely no sense. But why should it?
