Poetry Five Year Old Style
Poetry Five Year Old Style
My son decided to write a poem, and at least he knows poetry is supposed to rhyme. We'll start working on sonnets soon.
In Spring I take walks
And play with blocks.
In Winter I do play
In the snow and frozen hay.
In the Summer there is (sic) flowers I do pick
And ice cream I do lick.
In the Fall the fall of Gaul
There are no leaves on Obelix at all.
I still get stuck on the there is/ there are. It's tricky. I like all the "do"s- very classy!

Such a sweet poem.
