4th Grade

These 21 poems were written between the ages of 9 and 10. A nice lady who was a client of my Mom’s dry cleaner typed all my poems on a soft green parchment like paper. The pages are still in mint condition, scanned for this website.

I’ll be posting other early work, in reverse chronological order. I hope you enjoy this time capsule with me. And, if you’re tempted, you may want to go digging into your own memory chest. You may be surprised. Or not. But when you do reconnect with your own inner 9 year old, she, or he, may teach you something about who you are today. I promise.
