Vacation poetry (group effort)
Roses are red
My name is not Dave
This makes no sense
Microwave— nephew Henry
I see…
I see green
Trees above the gray rocks
I hear birds chirp and boats zooming
I feel the windy breeze and the rough picnic table
I smell the the warm pizza and freshly mowed grass
I taste the bubble gum the cheesy pizza
— niece Willa

Their poems shine with their personalities!
It does! I’ve got them hand- written so I can keep them forever!
Fun! I love this idea of writing poems with children. Now to find some poetry-loving children…
Hah! They were all for it. I guess they aren’t so old that they know it is supposed to be difficult and intimidating.
Such a delightful read! It sure sounds like a fun exercise for all involved!! This is fabulous!
Thank you Winter!
Fun! I love this, what I do with my grandchild, writing poetry together. A wonderful gift from you, to show them what fun and delights poetry brings! Kudos!
Your poem was my inspiration Michele!
