Poetry


Had I asked my son to give me a poem today, I'm sure he would not have complied.

But this afternoon, as he was playing, a poem came to him.

I found him in the school room scribbling as quickly as he could.  He told me he was writing a poem, so I left him alone to work.

He came to me when he was finished and read it to me.

Clever!  And since I was at the computer, I typed it up for him (and me) to have!

And the author has granted me permission to post it here!


I once saw a fish go swimming by,
For it had wings, it could fly.
I went along,
Singing a song,
“Swimming fish, Flying fish,
I don’t know which!”
