regretting one worm
robin revisits garden
to catch the fat one
(Bear with me – it’s my blog and I’m having a Mommy moment)
Recently my son (who just turned eight) began a poetry unit at school and he proudly told his class that his Mommy is a poet she used to be a teacher, but now she’s a poet – so he wrote his poems for me (sigh ~ bestill my heart)
Here they are (I’m so proud of him!!!)
Green
(Mommy’s favorite color)
Green is the feeling of a spring day
Green is the taste of a ripe star fruit
Green is the scent of a burnt candle
Green is the sound of leaves falling
Green looks like nature
Green is the air to breath
Spring
worms making soil
bees sucking nectar from plants
days feel like long years
Time Travel
going back in time
years, months, days, minutes, seconds
long ago , the past
Monopoly
buying properties
building houses and hotels
winning and losing
astoundingly fat
alive in the spring garden
earthworms – robins feast

wriggling prize caught, robins flee

fat worms to young in high nest
only until fall
