Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Am Drawing My Wedding Cake

Some people lose their eyes.
Spiders fall from the sky.
I ate a green hotdog once.
My grandma’s dog poops green.
A giggle.
Two of them look to see if I am listening.
I pretend I am not.
That’s gross! Oooh! Yuck!
One falls off of his chair.
Two laugh.
I am drawing my wedding cake.
I am drawing MY wedding cake!
They kill everything in the world including animals.
First grade conversation as they draw in art class.

L Milton Hankins January 13, 2022 at 10:25 AM Love those first-graders. They can be sooo gross and soooo innocent at the same time. And, why would "My grandma's dog poops green" suddenly spring into a first-grader's mind? I don't know! But, I love first-graders!
