My 7 Year Old's Poem

My 7 y/o son is one of many school aged kids to have their poems published this summer in a book called, "A Celebration of Young Poets".

He submitted it through his school, and it was accepted for publication. Needless to say, he is pretty psyched (as are his mom and dad!).

Here it is: A poem entitled, "That's How I know It's Winter"

Icicles grow
That's how I know it's winter
There's falling snow
That's how I know it's winter
Children Play
That's how I know it's winter
The temperature stays cold all day
And that's how I know it's winter


(Not bad for a 7 year-old, eh?)

Very good. Perhaps a budding young T. S. Elliot!

Yes, it's just a step behind 'a face to meet the faces that we meet.'
