Poems By Cookie

That Kid is still wreaking havoc with my mental abilities so today I have a guest writer. I would like to intoduce you to my lovely daughter, Cookie. Cookie loves to read and is a very talented writer. She has even been promised her own blog just as soon as she finishes one of her very many stories. Suffering from a life long bought of story-ending-writer's-block she is taking a momentary reprieve and has been focusing on poetry as a way to relieve the stress =).

Here are my favorite poems written by the wonderfully talented, 9 year old, Cookie. *Clap, clap, clap*

A Poem
A poem is something that comes from the heart.
Sometimes a poem will be mostly art.
Sometimes poems are long, while others are not.
But we can write poems with whatever we've got.
In a scribble, a scrawly, a column, or chart,
A poem is something that comes from the heart.
The Hyena
The hyena is smiley,
Not to mention wiley.
He ate my sister, Kylie,
And my best friend, Riley,
And he spit the bones out skyly.
So, don't talk to the hyena, even though he's smiley.
What's Under My Bed
Shoelace
Yo-yo
Piece of string
chess piece
fuzzball
broken ring
cobweb
sticker
gummy bear
spider
and my sister,
Claire.

Great job Cookie!

So good! That's amazing for even-older-than-9. I'm stealing the list idea to use with my kids (who aren't much on writing.)

The high point for me was "skyly" :) Don't think I've ever heard that before but it fits.

Fabulous poems!! I too, am smiling like the hyena, but I will never smile AT a hyena because I don't want my bones to fly skyly. Gosh, you are creative and it's no wonder. Keep it up, I'd love to read more!!

Beautiful work, Cookie - you're like a young Ogden Nash : ) (And that 's quite a compliment, mind you... he's ever so clever!)
