Russian Children's Verse Contest For Five Year Olds

RUSSIAN CHILDREN’S VERSE CONTEST  ( FOR FIVE YEAR OLDS )


Oh,  Ivan  Ivanovich, your  eyes  are so blue and beautiful
And your mom is really  cool and wonderful
If you  want to come to my party Saturday
We can talk for ages and maybe even play
I’m writing this poem for you cos you’re  ace
Please  come early to my party at my place
By the way you know my friend Mitya -
Well, put him down as a  prize winner, won't ya?
And my cousin Artem, well he can't really write,
But a prize would sure make his eyes shine bright. 

Thanks,  Masha Alexandrovna,  I think your eyes are  lovely  too
I am going to give you a great  prize  or two
For such a good  poem full of words and stuff, with  skill
You even had stuff like endings  - rhyme,  if you will,
And almost every word was spelded  correktly
I will be at your party at seven  directly.
And sure - I will put Mitya in a high spot near you
And Artem can have a prize  up there too
I don't recall seeing their stuff  on paper
But  that's just a detail of the whole caper.

I'm glad to have had the chance to read this clever metaphoric ditty! (Caught your blog comment). Sometimes, it does indeed, feel like I am back in grade school. The name of my new kindergarten class is PS....

Sometimes people can't see the woods for the trees Sydney. I sure see the woods in your poem, nice one. Have a lovely Sunday evening....:)
