Poetry

No one knows I'm here

No one knows I'm here
looking through the strong branches at the billowing clouds
listening to the branches of the willow sway in the fierce wind.

I'm smelling the smoke from the departing train
thinking about my brother's lost Blooms County comic book
reading the same comic book because I found it under the tree.

I wonder why no one's found me yet?

Love that Kitten
Inspired by Mr. Walter Dean Myers

Love that kitten
like a train loves to roll.

I said I love that kitten
like a train loves to roll.

Love to call to her in the evening
love to call to her:

"I'm home now Chess!"

Love that friend

Love that friend
like a girl loves to play.

I said I love that friend
like a girl loves to play.

Love to say to her while we're leaving,
love to say to her:

"See you soon KC!"

The Snow

I see the white puffs
I smell the crisp air
I touch the chilled snowflakes
I hear it so clear

I breathe in the wind
Grab a ball in my hand
Taste the coldness on my tongue
I love it
I love it

The snow.

Bouncing Birthday Boy!

Hard to believe he's 12 (on Tuesday).

Had a small party with a complicated treasure hunt, pizza, and of course, the chocolate cake with the oozing whipped cream (and, the magic candles). Girls were banished to the movie theatre, and came home in time for the cake.
