My Teacher

With thanks to August Hann

The apple tree was complete
blue, yellow, red and purple,
apples, one fallen into the sky.

You use your creativity well.
“Yes, I do.”


Snow man pretzels, cream cheese
heads, eyes planted careful in place,
many have two eyes.

You made beautiful snowpeople.
“Yes, I did.”

He cuts the paper, a boat, a fish,
a person, a monsters eyes, buttons,
rocks and seaweed,

You know how to cut carefully,
“Yes, I do.”

Wow, you can reach to wash your hands,
you have gotten so old and
learned so much,

“Yes” he says “I have
and then I will be three.”

.......and then I will be sixty five.
