Sister to Sister (Parody)

I wrote this poem as a parody to Langston Hughes’ Mother to Son. I was in middle school at this time which was my first ever introduction to poetry as we were taught a poetry unit at school (2010-2012). I consider this my first poem I’ve written. Thanks for reading my poem:)

Sister to Sister (Parody) written by me

Well Sis’, I’ll tell you:

Mother to Son 

Langston Hughes 

Well son, I'll tell you:

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it, And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor- - bare

But all the time

I'se been a-climbin' on, And reachin' landin's And turnin' corners,

And sometimes going in the dark Where there ain't been no light.

So boy, don't you turn your back, Don't you sit down on the steps

•Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now- - For I'se still goin', honey

I'se still climbin'

And Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair
