School Project


The boy had a project for school:
came home to now follow the rule
to venture outside on a quest;
discover a large insect nest.

He found one to store in his room.
Next morning he woke up with gloom!
The Mantes had hatched and now crawl
by hundreds all over his wall!

You have a solid sense of rhyme and rhythm that breath life into your words aimed at a seven year old. The descriptive images enhance the reader's ability to envision the experience from your poetic viewpoint. Well done, Emile.
