Guest Post: Poetry by my children for National Poetry Day

Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper,
I love Dr. Pepper!
I would really much rather
Drink Dr. Pepper
Than Sprite, Sprite, Sprite!
I do like Sprite,
But I'd rather drink
Dr. Pepper!
(Timothy, age 7)

I can't write a poem,
and I'm not sure why.
Jack Prelutsky's are so good, about so many things and people.
I couldn't write a poem even if I tried.
Oh, wait! I just did!
(Lydia, age 9)

Siblings.
Younger than me.
Brothers, a sister, babies too.
Times I with they'd leave me alone.
There's four.
(Luke, age 12)

I love my name.
I love my name.
My name is Alexander...
The Great!
I love you.
You love me.
I love my name.
I love all our names.
(Alexander, age 3)
