The Sensational World According To Jaimie: A Poem Written by Jaimie

We've missed a couple of Jaimie's post days...SO sorry. First she was sick then she was getting frustrated as she couldn't think of something to write about. I keep telling her this is supposed to be fun and there is never any pressure to write something.

Speaking of writing, that's what we're going to be letting Jaimie do more often. The last time I got to talk to her teacher, she told me that Jaimie has become quite the brilliant writer. I read some samples of her work and...WOW! Let's just say I'd better watch my back because Jaimie will be a Best Selling author one day. I'm almost positive. What I love is how much she truly loves writing. It's her way of expressing herself, even on days when she gets so frustrated trying to find words to say whats on her mind. She amazes me. 

This week, I'd like to share a poem she wrote. I'm hoping to share some of the stories she's written in school too but I'll need to get her permission. You know...she still gets leery about being in the spotlight.

So, here we go.
This is a poem that Jaimie wrote in class. It has her friends Saima and Grace credited to so I'm not sure if this was a group effort or what but...here it is:

Platypus

Five little platypus resting on a rock.
The first one said, "Let's rest on a lock!"
The second one said, "Where can we find one?"
The third one said, "Let's just have some fun!"
The fourth one said, "Let's swim in the water!"
The fifth one said, "Let's do it with the otters!"
The five little playtpus sang their happy tune,
As they swam with the otters all afternoon.

BRILLIANT! How TOTALLY sweet is that?

Well, next week, we're hoping to have more to share right from Jaimie. She's struggling a bit with transitions from school to Christmas Break to Christmas back to 'normal' again so she hasn't been in the mood to do any posting. But next week...when our routine is back on track...she'll be back too. =)

See ya tomorrow!
