Poetry on a Snow Day

Rose and Rita are writing poetry this morning as we stay home from school

Rose and Rita and our neighbor Sarah have been planning a performance that they say they'll perform "in about a year when Sarah is 6 and R & R are 7 or around Christmas" (next week). This morning Rita and Rose went downstairs to work on songs for the show. Here are some poems Rose wrote:

Ocean Spray
I love my o,
I love my my my
I love my ocean
I love the way it sings like a whale
I love my ocean
I love how it blows like a flower In my ear
O I love it so much, it could be 100 things
O I love the way the oceans spray
I love it
I love it
It's a lot in my heart.

-Rose Seidl

Blue Sky
Blue blue blue blue blue blue
I love the blue sky in my eye
I love the colored flowers below
I love art any way
And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII love the sky
I love the blue sky
So do you

-Rose Seidl

This Kitten
I know a lot of kittens but
The one I love the most is this kitten
She knows me
I know her
We do a lot together
She's sweet as a violet
I'm as sweet as a rose
We do lots of things together
I love this kitten.

-Rose Seidl

Monday Girl
I know a girl from a happy street
Candy from Monday Girl
She wears a red tutu
Music is everywhere when she's there
She has black hair and a pink bow.
Kids from all over the world
Come to get her candy and ice cream
For only ten cents.
Wherever she goes there's music
From her beautiful candy cart.

-Rita Seidl

You Should Be Aware
You should be aware of things that you don't know
You should be aware of things that you don't know
Cause if you're not aware of things that you don't know,
You'll be rising like a ghost in the anafly of toast
If you're not aware of things that you don't know.

You should be aware of things that you don't know
You should be aware of things that you don't know
Cause if you're not aware of things that you don't know,
You'll be rising through the skies with the blah-blah butterflies
If you're not aware of things that you don't know.

You should be aware of things that you don't know
You should be aware of things that you don't know
You should be aware of things that you don't know.

-Rita Seidl
