Kathryn the poet

The Frisco Public Library is sponsoring a poetry contest that we keep forgetting about. The entries are due tomorrow.

The weather is crummy so we're "stuck" inside. (I'm actually pleased to have an afternoon at home.) 

Katie is in extreme I-must-create-something-right-now mode. That forced me to I remember the contest, so I suggested that she write a poem or two.

She wrote five in about 30 minutes. 

"I want to use 'Kathryn' instead of 'Katie' because it sounds more professional."

Hail

By Kathryn Damm

In bed I lie

Fire crackles near

Cocoa at my side

Everlasting white

Owls

Hoot

Black and white

In the night

Hoot

Hoot

Green glowing eyes

Nocturnal spies

Hoot

Hoot

Swiftly they fly

Then perch on a tree nearby

Hoot

Baseball

By Kathryn Damm

Fans chant

Players pant

One to one

Homerun!

Movie

By Kathryn Damm

Lights dim

Screen bright

Popcorn small

Lots of light

Spring

By Kathryn Damm

Birds sweetly sing

Eggs make a tiny crack

Mother birds proud of chicks

Happy spring!
