Braggin' Rights

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.

    1. The Spawn says thanks. At least I think one grunt means thank you...or is that two grunts?

    1. 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...

  8. 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!

    1. ...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!

  10. 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!

    1. 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.

    1. Guess I should have hyphenated "fighting-people", otherwise it turns the meaning around. LOL Thanks for coming by!

    1. 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.
