Poetry Reading Part Two

Miky asked me to post the text of Alex's Numbers Poem. I've added it today, along with a few others from his poetry journal:

NUMBERS

numbers can go far
far as infinity goes
because numbers grow


SPRING POEM

The clear sky is like a pool of water with cotton balls in it.
Little bugs like polkadots on flowers sit in the sun.
Lawn mowers hum like bees flying over the garden.
I slide down a slide like a slippery eel.
The sun shines like a giant fire fly.


CRAYFISH

A crayfish is as hard as a rock
It snaps at you like a croc
And it is as stubborn as a lock
It is like a small menacing creature from the deep
It is so creepy to have a crayfish in the class
But the creepiest thing is the way they lash


And here's Alex and his friend George reciting George's "twin poem" (a poem for two).

Love Alex's poems, especially the numbers--simple and elegant. He has become quite a writer. I hope he does more poetry as well as prose. How about a book, Alex?

Love,
