Like poetry, you're hiding behind the words you speak.

(Emily, this post is in honor of your post and I do read your blog.)

April is National Poetry Month and I found this cute children's book at Alli's school Book Fair the other day: Dogku by Andrew Clements. I love it cause it's all written in Haiku. Here are some that I wrote today for each of my kids and one for me (I know they aren't that good but they're poems):

Tyler

I'm a smiley guy.
An angel sent from above
Laugh, always so good.

Jeremy (couldn't decide which one was better... probably both bad.)

Because I can't talk
I cry, mumble and point lots.
Also love to eat.

Eat Cry Play Eat Cry,
Point Eat Grunt Eat Mumble Eat
Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat.

Drew

I am so happy,
I am not happy but mad,
Happy again smile.

Allison

Love to dance, draw, dogs.
Big sister, good example,
Kind, pretty, Sweetheart.

My Life
