My son the poet
|
I've shared about how much we're enjoying poetry this year. I've shared
about the lovely conversations about life issues we've been having.
I've shared some of our favorite poems. I felt it only fair to share this conversation oldest and I had the other day too. Me: Did you read out of that poetry book yet (Selected Poems by Rudyard Kipling)? Oldest: (said w/ a sigh) Yeah, I did. (said w/ a sudden spark of enthusiasm) Hey mom, I got a some poetry for ya. Me: You do? What is it? Oldest: Let's skip the Kip. Me: (laughing) Ok, I get the message, son. So, as of now, we're "skipping the Kip." He gave it a fair shake, got some exposure and formed an opinion. I'm happy with that. And I'm happy that I'm happy with that. A few years ago I wouldn't have been. Yeah, Mom learns too. |
