Kid Lit

My favorite child-authored poem remains “Ice” by Miss Annemarie Robertson (circa 1967), but Alison Reed is giving her a run for her money with a sentence she constructed in class this week. It technically doesn’t qualify as haiku, and I fiddled with the punctuation, but here you have it: My two, current, favorite child-authored pieces of literature. Feel free to offer contenders.


Ice

By Annmarie Robertson

Ice is nice.

It’s fun to hold.

When it gets hotter, it turns into water


You vs. We

By Alison Reed

You are you.

Until your Mom comes.

Then, you are we.
