Petite Maman Film Poem

 “Petite Maman,”a wonderful French movie. opens in select theaters this Friday, April 22. 2022. It was on my Honorable Mention list during the Award Season, and I just had to write the following poem about this welcome screen offering.  

 

Two little girls play in the woods.

No one yells at them about shoulds.

They fix a house inside a tree

  and talk about their family.

 

Nell is lonely. Marion sees.

With each other they feel at ease. 

Though newly met, they seem to click.

Could this be some magical trick?

 

These two roles are played by real twins.

Everyone in audience wins.

“Petite Maman,” a lovely show.

If you like fantasy, please go.
