Toddler Poetry

A Morning Observation*

I see leaves,
Leaves fall down,
I see leaves fall down from the trees.

I hear birds,
Birds in the clouds,
In the white clouds in the sky.

I want more toast.



* As spoken by Xavier (age 2) at the breakfast table by the picture window.

This is like a royal haiku! I love how life-affirming your blog is.

Xavier is a natural poet, especially with the toast! :-)

I sense a William Carlos Williams influence here. This poetic talent should be nurtured!
