Gold
My dog's Daisy
She's gold
She retrieves
I come home and she danced
On my face
My dog's gold
Not silver
Not bronz
Not pewter
Not copper
Gold
My dog's hyper
She plays all day
Some days...
I play with her
My dog's gold
Not silver
Not pewter
Not copper
Gold
Aside from the awesome poem and portrait of Daisy, allow me to point out the excellent penmanship. I didn't know he was even capable of handwriting this neat, yet there it is.
I'm going to frame it as eternal proof to him that poetry is cool, and so is fine penmanship.
Fabulous poem, fabulous artwork! There's a reason DOG is GOD spelled backwards!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing poem! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is, indeed, Art. Also I can't tell you how impressed I am that he knows the color of pewter. Laminate it!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so proud! Such a mature poem, and an awesome picture to go with it. I'm thinking the apple fell pretty close to the tree?
ReplyDeleteIf only Daisy could read it, I'm sure she'd be extremely flattered! What a great keepsake to frame with a photo of the 2 of them.
As a teacher of poetry all I can say is Wow! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I think you have found an incentive to scrapbook at last! Great job, Nick!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Like button? Oh wait, this isn't FB. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, what a great poem! And the drawing looks just like her! I know how proud you must feel. Great job, Nick!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous!
ReplyDeletewhen I saw the drawing I gasped when I read the poem I smiled...a really big smile..what an amazing artist and talented writer...you and George planted the seed...this teacher watered and God gives the growth...an awesome thing to experience...thanks for allowing us to join with you in celebrating Nick

Fantastic poem AND picture! I know you're one proud mama!
ReplyDeleteSUPERB!! Nick certainly captured Daisy's likeness in his drawing! Considering the penmanship, poem content and drawing...and the fact he "balanced" the poem and drawing in perfect 1/3 to 2/3 ratio...this project is nothing short of an A+!! Way to go, Nick!
