Fun In Boxes

Children use their imaginations 
When given boxes from the store.
They absolutely amaze me with their creations.
You can see the concentration.
The first to emerge is a taxi cab with a wind
Shield, headlights, seats, and doors.
Children use their imaginations.
Here's a train at the station picking up
Passengers going to all destinations.
What a way to explore.
They absolutely amaze me with their creations.
We were given an invitation
To attend tea in a full equipped kitchen with
Fresh muffins and more.
Children use their imaginations.
The library of books and super decorations
Reminded me of my own education.
Our children's hearts soar.
They absolutely amaze me with their creations.
It was awesome to see their dedication,
But what was even more fantastic was the fun,
And sharing without one uproar.
Children use their imaginations.
They absolutely amaze me with their creations.

The repeating lines made this feel like pantoum or villanelle poetry. Cute topic you wrote on, Bette.

Thank you Andrea. You were right. It is a villanelle. It is right now. I love childhood. It was fun for my children as well as me. I learned a lot.

I love it because of the sheer truth of it. It is wonderful how creative children can be; I am super amazed at them constantly.

I home schooled my oldest children. It was super to see how their minds worked. It was also great to see how each was different.
