[Times] The Poetry that Time Forgot
I'm visiting home tonight -- home as in my parents' house, rather than the apartment. We just got back half an hour ago from seeing the Chelsea House Orchestra perform. Man, are they ever good! I never saw a student orchestra with guitar solos before tonight. Going to have to pick up one or more of their CDs.
Anyway, the real reason I'm posting is that I wanted to share something I just rediscovered tonight. There's an antiquish storage box here in the guest room (the logo on it reads "GLOVE" BRAND RUBBERS, teehee), and I opened it up to get the instruction booklet for the alarm clock here. And down underneath some really old photos, I found two old "younger authors" books from back when I was in grade school! "Marshall Younger Authors, 1992-93", and "Madison's Awesome Authors VI, 1994-95". And I have poems in both of them! So please permit me to open a window on the past and share some of my earliest works with you.
SNOW
Snowballs being thrown,
Snowforts being made.
Doing things alone,
Then playing a game.
Doing things the same,
Then doing it apart.
And soon we go inside
And play with my dart.
SHAY CARON
THIRD GRADE
(Apparently we could only afford one dart for our dartboard? Or maybe I meant I had a Dodge Dart.)
A MIRROR
The important thing about a mirror is that it reflects you.It's made of glass,
It sits in a bathroom,
Or has a handle,
And "HOW" shows up a "WOH",
But the important thing about a mirror is that it reflects you.
SHAY CARON
5TH GRADE
("HOW" shows up as "WOH". Truly I was an observant child.)
So yeah, those may not ever make it to my poetry page. But I thought they were worth sharing. ^_^
