Boy Poems

Posted on March 11, 2010 - Filed Under Uncategorized

I am so busy getting ready for Artfest I haven’t come by here, but suddenly am inspired to share two poems with you.

First Grade

By William Stafford

In the play Amy didn’t want to be
anybody; so she managed the curtain.
Sharon wanted to be Amy. But Sam
wouldn’t let anybody be anybody else—
he said it was wrong. “All right,” Steve said,
“I’ll be me, but I don’t like it.”
So Amy was Amy, and we didn’t have the play.
And Sharon cried.

The second poem my boy wrote in his First Grade. It is about his sister, Sydney.

Sam's Sydney Poem

Those should keep you inspired for a while.
