By My Son Joshua Wilson - Joshua's Poem to Someone Else

my six year old son asked me to post this, his first poem:

Chicken nugget

minet nugget

I have a dillo pillo

ther is a leaf

on the reaf.

And its right by an island.

And its a very very delicate leaf.

And it will not stop floating away

until it hits an island.

And when it does it

it will stop floating

and someone

will pick it up.

Just like me.

Wow!

Especially for a first-time write, there is a well-crafted, delightful story here told. The story line sold the piece. I think it might be not too early to invest in a cash register ... or perhaps open up a merchant credit card account. This boy starts young. Thanx, Chuck
