LAZY, IDLE DAY

 Since I'm surrounded by kiddos these days (Cameron 13, Dayton 10, Elia 8, Josie 7, Mikey 5 and Del 4, here's a good KID POEM, written by a kid!

LAZY, IDLE DAY

 
By Marilyn Petzy, age 13

A lazy, idle day.

A hot, humid afternoon.

Sipping lemonade.

Rocking . . .

back and forth

back and forth.

But she’s awake and alive,

and tiny, very tiny.

Taking up but a corner

of unused porch,

while I loll on the porch swing.

But she is busy, working fast,

So very clever.

Spinning, spinning . . .

her silver thread . . .

so fine and perfect.

Her survival . . .

her dinner . . .

her craftiness.
