My 9 year old daughter wrote this
last October
in anticipation of the coming of
Halloween


WITCH  POEM

One  dark  and  scary  night
I  crept  outside  to  a  fresh  moon  light
I  shouldn't  have  gone
It  was  very  dark
I  thought  I  saw  a  witch
but  that  was  just  the  start
~
The  witch  swooped  down
and  tied  me  to  her  broom
I  tried  to  get  free
but  what  for
I'm  doomed
~
She  took  me  to  her  castle
it  gave  me  quite  a  scare
Okay
it  was  so  scary
that  I  nearly  lost  my  hair
~
She  grabbed  me  by  the  arm
and  took  me  to  her  room
She  chained  me  to  her  table
and  left  me  with  her  broom
~
I  looked  around  the  bedroom
and  then  I  saw  a  tool
I  don't  know  what  its  called
but  it  looked  pretty  cool
~
It  was  laying  right  beside  me
so  I  grabbed  it  in  my  hand
I  used  it  on  the  chains
and  they  broke
now  ain't  that  grand
~
I  jumped  down  off  the  table
and  took  the  broom  with  me
I  said  some  magic  words
and  out  the  window
Weeeeeeeeee
~
Past  the  houses  moon  and  stars
and  home  to  bed
where  I  dream  of  chocolate  bars

Yes, Jennifer. Don't stop writing!  This reminds me of my poems at your age, which isn't too long ago!

Thanks everyone ... she reads a lot
including my poems
She has written about ten poems
in the past six months and seems to
enjoy it. I'll get her to read all
the mail here and I know she'll be
very happy.

Thanks again
Rex

Thanks everyone ...Jenns' head is swollen
she read most of the responces here and is telling all her friends to read this group
She even told her teacher at school
she is going to post some more, but the web site only alows one person per e-mail address
so we need to get her a hotmail account

watch for her ( minni poet )

Hey Jennifer you doing fine
You're outdoing your dad  
Pretty scary there
I'm way impressed
You certainly are blessed

and so is your Dad  

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
