One afternoon when our group of three
Were outside playing our games
Hide and Go Seek and Kicking the Can
And others with wonderful names
After we’d played all the warm morning through
Just Scoopy and Brian and Me
My mom called us in which made us all sad
Till we found a nice lunch for us three
Two of my older books that have never been illustrated are, What Can We Do Today and is all about a Father and a his son planning activities for the day. The other book, What Color am I Today, is all about a parent and their daughter who wants to know all about the color of dress she is wearing for each day.
Written in 2009, none of these poems have ever been published. This one, “White,” was inspired by my daughter’s announcement that she had met the man of her dreams and was now engaged to marry him. Enjoy!
