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.
*clap-clap-clap!* WONDERFUL poems! They made me smile, so THANK YOU COOKIE! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful work, Cookie!
ReplyDeleteAnd what was your sister Claire doing under the bed? With a spider?
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.)
ReplyDeleteThe high point for me was "skyly" :) Don't think I've ever heard that before but it fits.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Cookie!
ReplyDeleteTalented indeed. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHeidi :)
Tooooooooo cute. :-) The last one in particular cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteFabulous 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!!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I loved the under the bed one best.

Way to go, cookie! I liked the first one the best, but Emma likes the last one best! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Cookie - you're like a young Ogden Nash : ) (And that 's quite a compliment, mind you... he's ever so clever!)
ReplyDeleteThese are really good! I really like the under the bed one.
