If I drink enough, I will post some of Little Freedette's creative poetry compilation. And if you all drink enough, you will like it.

Actually, I was proud of her 4th grade work, though taken aback she did a whole poem on the boy band One Direction. and her poems -instead of the age-old references to nature, and higher powers, baseball and what not - they include an uncomfortable level (to my taste) of consumerism and pop culture. Still, proud.

Here's a taste
Acrostic Poem
Only British/Irish boy band for me
Never writes horrible songs
Earns awards for their music
Day and night is how much they work on music
Irresistable Music

then goes on for a dozen more lines

Alphabet Alliteration (bounced around on this)
All day long armadillos angrily ate applesauce
Educatational Emily elementary ate evil egg salad
Grumpy grandpas ate golden grandmas with Gus
Happy hot dog hopped on Hanukah
while highlighting a hare's hair
Iquanas ate Isabel with a side of ice cream
while idiotically talking about Iowa in Israel
...several more pages
Chinquapin Poem
Boots
Tall, brown
Walking, jumping, click-clacking
Running in the hall
shoes
who what when where why poem
Who:I
What: straightened my hair
When: on a Friday night
Where: at my house
Why: so, I could go to the Cardinal's game
The best was an homage to her nike frees running shoes, but that needs a jpeg (illustrated). I lied, was drinking a beer already, so this is all you get.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
