Sometimes I read things that my son has written and I'm blown away. I wasn't that good when I was his age. He's a gifted writer and I'm so lucky to get to watch him grow and improve.
I'd say this even if he wasn't my child. Really.
This was an assignment from school, a color poem. The descriptions were so vivid, and of course the illustration was perfect.
Red is like lava,
fire
rage
a bad feeling.
Red tastes like hot candies
and sounds like roaring wind.
Red looks like sulfuric ashes.
It feels like hot embers.
Red makes me angry.
Red is evil.

Wait! Why is he picking on red? It's my favorite color. Red is bold and does whatever it wants. I think we need to defend red.
(But, yeah, good poem. I'll give him that.)
Great poem!
Beautiful! Great imagery :)
Wow! He really captures red. Give that boy a red star!
PJ - It's my favorite color, too -- and his! I think it's just the mood he was in at the moment he wrote it. You know how that goes :)
Rena - Thanks!
Becky - I loved the imagery be used
Kelly - I will :)
That's really a great poem! Kudos to your son!
Your son has talent. And has strong emotions. And courage. An artist/writer/broody, intellectual guy wearing black at philosophy classes at an Ivy League.
In other words, great future.
Carrie - Thanks, I'll let him know
Yat-Yee - He does have strong emotions. I'm actually kind of dreading the teen years...!
OK ... that blew me away! Between the poem's words and the picture .... WOW!!!! That is impressive!
How are the push-ups coming along?! :-)
Kelly H-Y - Thanks! And I've made it through the first week of push ups :)
