Notes About The Poem

The Storyteller


I entered the backyard through the trees,
  Throwing myself down into the white snow;
    I rolled until I was totally covered- even hair,
      And for extra effect I threw snow in my face.
        But I did not know Grandma was watching me,
          I opened the kitchen door crying for my Mommy;
            She came running saying, oh dear what happened,
              Some big boys pushed me in the snow even my face.
                 Then I noticed Grandma at the kitchen table smiling,
                    She winked at me . .  she was quite the storyteller, too.

This was fun. My daughter is three...she's already learning that drama will get her attention...ahaha...at least we don't have grandma around encouraging those precocious behaviors. ;) I really liked this, BW.
