Poetry Discussion: The Plaid-Flanneled Man

The Plaid-Flanneled Man
By Melissa Sennert Savage

Melissa is currently a reference assistant at LSC-Cyfair Library. She recently received her MLS from the University of North Texas and will soon start a new job as Interlibrary Loan/Distance Education Librarian at University of Houston - Downtown. In honor of her time at LSC-CyFair, we present one of Melissa's poems.

Being a child
my arm's too short.
I stretch and strain and reach,
but still I cannot touch it.
The plaid-flanneled, nice, old man
grabs me 'round my waist,
and I soar.
My hand tickles
the chimes,
and it laughs.
A lovely beautiful giggle.
I linger for a moment,
and then he sets me down,
and I know
if ever I want to hear
those chimes I cannot
reach on my own,
I only have to ask my grandpa.
