My Budding Poet

Yesterday was Kitty's 3rd grade Poetry Brunch, and each of the children chose three of their poems to read to the class and parents. Kitty did a fabulous job, of course!

Kitty Reading to the Class

Limerick -

My little sister is a pest
She made a big fat mess
She kissed the fountain
And ran the mountain
And died because of her nest
- Kitty

I did talk to her about having her sister die because of her nest, but she explained that it was supposed to be nonsensical. I even threw out some other words like "sighed" and "cried," but she said that those words wouldn't make the poem nonsensical. I suppose we'll have to stick with "died." Ugh!


I Don't Understand

I don't understand why we have pie.
I don't understand why my sisters are mean.
I don't understand why we can only live on Earth.
I don't understand why flowers only grow sometimes.
But most of all I don't understand why we have to go to school.
I DO understand that boys are mean when they like you!
- Kitty


Hollie
Smart-elec, funny
Loving, caring, snoring
Best big sister ever
Hollie tamolie
- Kitty
