Brat Literature

Brat #1 wrote a few poems today. I have posted them in reverse chronological order - but you can see the progression in writing skills!

CATCHING BUTTERFLIES
I bought a net
In a set
A butterfly catching set
But, a butterfly won't let
Me catch them with the net
So I said
"I'll tie them with a thread."

O SKY! O SKY!
O sky! O sky!
You’re so blue.
O sky! O sky!
I like your shoe.
O sky! O sky!
The cats don’t mew.
O sky! O sky!
That’s because of you!

CHRISTMAS TIME
The stockings are by the fire
The tree is touching the sky
The ornaments are so pretty
The hollies are on the wreath
So I know Christmas is here

ME AND MY MOTHER
Me and my mother
We are always together
She is always by my side
We play together
We dance too
My mother is always my mother
