So, it’s not pretty. . .and it’s a little rough. But I’m proud of my youngest spawn. He wrote these poems and added pictures, then shared them with his class.
Because I own braggin’ rights, I’m sharing with you.
Winter Snow
The Winter snow trudges and stumbles along,
Dragging with it the Winter breeze.
He lets enough loose to make a nice little breeze,
But sometimes his mittened hand slips and the bag is dropped,
Sending huge winds across the land.
He picks it up as soon as it fell,
And stumbles and trudges to another land.
Comic Heroes
Cool heroes.
On time bad-guy fighting people.
Mystifying secrets.
Instrumental weapons.
Colorful suits.
Heroic personalities.
Extraordinary powers.
Readily on guard.
Overseeing eyes.
Extreme risks and dares.
Super good heroes.
This is just great! I love seeing how children create through their own worlds. Awesome job!
Thank you, DX. I never knew he wrote poetry before he plopped these on my desk. I can't wait to see what's next!
Great stuff! Love a young mind. WTG buddy 🙂
The Spawn says thanks. At least I think one grunt means thank you…or is that two grunts?
Very nice! I like the poem a lot!
Methinks he inherited his mother's talent. Great job!
Thank you, Sharon! I hope he inherited my husband's brain. That and talent will keep me fed in my old age. LOL
THERE, is going to be one heartbreaker when he grows up! He'll win the girls with words. I love the superhero one 🙂
Hi Melodie! Thanks for coming by. He's been lecturing me about poems that don't rhyme. I guess it's a form of art, one that he prefers. Guess I always preferred ditties. Ones like: There once was a man from Kentuckett…
OMG! Those are inspired! So simple and real. You have a little poet! Love them!
Hey Kary! Happy book launch day to you!! (karyradar.com) hehehe Kids have a way of peeling away the unnecessary to find the heart of truth. Too bad the truth isn't as easy to peel out of them! LOL
LOVE IT. Off to tweet this. It's jewel.
Thank you, Karen. This is definitely going in my file to keep…and embarrass him with when he's older and brings a date to the house! Heheheh
Children will always surprise you–and what a surprise! These are wonderful, Sheri. I love the Winter Snow one–I could see the personification of Old Man Winter trudging across the Plains states. He's got his mother's way with words for sure!
It really was a surprise. Especially since we live in an area of California that NEVER snows! It was 98* today…how can the kid write about snow?? Thanks for stopping by!
Holy doodle, Trav! These are flippin' fantastic. And I love the pics, lol. You are seriously one talented dude!
Hey, here's my attempt.
The ants go marching two by two, ha ra, ha ra.
The ants go marching two by two, ha ra, ha ra.
The aunts go marching two by two, the little ones stop to take a…lol, now you fill in the last word. Hint, it rhymes with two.
…the little one stop to take a CORKSCREW and open a bottle of wine for YOU! LOL Okay, so maybe the Spawn didn't make that rhyme up. But he's in bed now. LOL Thanks Brendan!
It's in the GENES! Wonderful that you have a writer coming along. Tony and I are both writers and we have four spawns and the only one who showed ability, has another career. Way to go little guy!
This is his first try at writing a poem (that I know of) that didn't start with Roses are Red. I hope he does find the joy of writing that I do and cultivates it throughout his life. It must be nice to talk "shop" in your house, Leanore.
Bad guy fighting people! That is awesome!
Guess I should have hyphenated "fighting-people", otherwise it turns the meaning around. LOL Thanks for coming by!
Oh how neat he's showing a love for words. Two artists under one roof! 🙂
Dana
He loves his words. I think he came out of the womb blabbing.
Love it…and love the pictures that go along with it.
Thanks Christine. The pics are so precious to me. I have Banker Boxes where I s tore the really special items the kids have created. But I think these might go in frames on the wall.
Fantastic, Sheri. He's got some real talent! Congratulations to you, Mom!
Thank you, Ella. I wonder where he'll be in ten years…
Awww LOVE it!! Your boys are so talented (just like mama)! Can't wait to see what they will become!
While I can wait, time won't wait for me. I feel so very blessed. Thanks, Bulldog!
Ha, that's so flipping cool! He's getting his creativity from his mama. 🙂
I'd like to think so, Melissa. But his math skills come from the Hubs.
