Our poet

lately, Skye has gotten really interested in words that rhyme. throughout the day, if a word catches her fancy, for example, bike, then throughout the day, she'll ask, does mike rhyme with bike? does tike rhyme with bike? does jike rhyme with bike? and on and on.

yesterday, when i picked her up from preschool, her teacher said to me, Skye has been busy writing poems today! and Skye proudly showed me her first haiku-esque poem. here is a poem she wrote today. she has taken it to school to read to her class:

Four little snowflakes were having some fun
One little snowflake disappeared
Now two little snowflakes were having a race
Then one fell down
Now there is one little snowflake playing in the snow.
