-- Hope

 

My sister unearthed some of my "early works." Here's a poem I wrote when I was nine:

One day i took a walk in the forest,

It was very dark and lonely,

And when i made the slightest noise all

But when i was very still and quiet

they gathered all around me.

 

Here's a list of things I didn't like to eat when I was 7: clam, oliv, liver, clam, lopster, mushroom, onyen. I've learned to like lobster.

And, I still love this delightful little three-penny poem (one of my writer's workshop exercises) from Connor, age 7:

I was reading a book while I was hiding

and I was happy.

That pretty much sums it all up for me!
