A young poet in the family

Bethy is always experimenting with words, rhyming, thinking up beautiful stories and sometimes illustrating them.  After school one afternoon, she stood beside me (at the computer) and recited her latest poem as I typed it.  With her permission, I share this with you.


School Week

Monday moans,
Tuesday groans,
Wednesday: weirdness.
Thursday, thorns.
Fantastic Friday
(the only good one)
Saturday scores,
Sunday stings--
And Monday moans and
Groans

Again

--Bethany Patsios
Nine and three-quarters years old

I think she has totally captured the school and work week experience.
