this is a poem about my little brother Zack who is three.

My Little brothers pride
          Is
   His slip N slide
  He had more fun under
        The sun
     On that thing
Then anyone could ever
         Know
And when he talked about it
       He glowed
         And
       It showed
       His pride
    His slip N slide
    


I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

Adorable work...how sweet it is to observe the innocent world of the very young. I like it.

short and appropriate

Kids are so simple. You have put to words the simplicity of thier lives. I wish I could return to my: Slip-N-Slide

Good Job.
