Poems by Libby

These are 2 poems that Libby wrote during 3rd grade. Her teacher, Trish Farrington, told me that her husband, a former English professor at Mt. Holyoke, picked her poems out as the best ones in the class!

Anything

I feel like there's not anything in my head.

I really want to go to bed.

I really don't know what to write.

I have an itchy mosquito bite.

My words are spinning round and round.

I can't hear a single sound.

I can't find a word to rhyme.

Is that really such a crime?

Raindrops

the beat to

the raindrops

falling

down from

the sky

are like a drummer

very softly

drumming

to the raindrops

going...

drip

drip

drip
