BIG SIS
By James Dailey (age 10)
My big sister is a little creepy
She leaves the faucet sometimes leaky I think my big sister is Goth
She smells like honey and peanut butter
But somehow I still love her
CAT LOVE By Natalie Belle Neal (age 9) Lick. Lick.
My cat’s tongue is like sandpaper.
It’s a nice sensation.
It feels like a warm kiss.
If my cat could talk I’d say, kissy, and he’d say, okay.
Then I’d ask, do you love me, and he’d answer, love is not divided.
It goes on forever. I love you.
Lick. Lick.
