I'm Moving Back to Settle
by Maria Reyes
Sad to leave my friends and go
Happy to see my old friends again,
but what relly maters is I have friends.
Going Into My Prey School
by Maria Reyes
Happyness goes around
kindness a strate line
everyones quite.
Then I move to a diffrent place
a place to have more friend ship
and every ones happy epxet for my friends
in the place I love
and I love Latimer Lane.
I think Latimer Lane
is better then my prey school.
As I have mentioned, I am an intermittent contributor to the "First 50 Words" blog. This morning, as I was reading through the blog and making a few contributions of my own, I found a poem that I truly enjoyed and wanted to share it here with you. The author is Granny Sue and her work can also be found on her own blog Granny Sue's News and Reviews. (The photo belongs to her as well)
I MISS
I miss tobacco growing tall and gold
and sorghum-making in the fall
I miss Kenneth cutting filth with his scythe
and Dan cutting wood with a band saw
I miss the smell of meat curing in the smokehouse
and my Jersey cow and her warm sweet breath
I miss the days when life was hard
but easier to live because we did for ourselves
I miss old ways and old people who knew them
but never minded showing me how
I miss the faces of young sons who worked hard
but ate hearty of the food they helped to raise
Thanks to Granny Sue for allowing me to republish her poem here.
