I enjoy using "I like this poem" from the 1980s and my daughter often asks for me to read to her from it. She even composes her own poetry, orally, which I'd love to capture but pulling out some form of recording device kills the moment.<br /><br />I jotted down a snippet a week ago from a poem on Christmas:<br /><br />"I thought we would miss Christmas" said the grandma<br />"No, we haven't" said me in a faraway voice<br /><br />Love her creativity and use of language, although this bit doesn't capture the beautiful rhythm she had in this poem. I was blown away with a 3 year old saying "faraway voice"Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487606705515870593noreply@blogger.com
