My little boy is a poet! Lijee won honorable mention in his class poetry competition for his poem 'Beche.' (That's 'Beach' for all of you non-phonetic spellers out there).
His teacher's mother is a poet who enters competitions and I think she has won a few, so she is the unbiased judge. Here she is explaining to the class what is was that she liked about his poem.
She liked the way he explained the waves by using his senses without actually saying the word .
Grannie wouldn't have dreamed of missing his poetry reading.
His teacher displayed the poems afterwards.
Beche
You play in the sand
you build sand casels
when the water
gets in your mouth
its so sallty
splash splash you chase
you cach
when its time to go
you wish you could
live there but its hard
to amajin
when you come agin
its fun agin
by Eli Daniels
I'm so proud of my Lijee! By the way, we are taking a beach trip this summer.
