Tanner the writer

Tanner has always impressed us, his parents, with his love of writing and the creativity he puts on the page. We thought it would be nice to share some of his recent poems. We will ask him for his permission when he wakes.

THE DETECTIVE

This detective has a serious face,
and a wrinkly overcoat tied up with lace.

He has a slanted brown top hat
and gets stuck in the middle of physical contact.

The policemen adore him, and timetaking things bore him,
and that is the brave detective.

ANACONDA/ROPE

It's body is sleek and slender,
if you pull it, it is very tender.

That's something you don't want to do ,
for then it will strike at you.

Sometimes it is tan,
and othertimes grey,
so sit down and pray,
that it won't wrap around you.

You can use it to swing,
but joy it won't bring,
for that will be the end of you

Getting ready for Christmas!


We LOVE Christmas time...and we have had fun preparing for it. The kids always love our night of setting up the tree and decorations and then fine dining on milk and cookies!
