My Poem
by Georgia

When I was a child
I was quite wild.
I banged my head on a piece of metal.
Years later I got stinging nettle.
I won a huge award.
Our dog had surgery that we could hardly afford.

  11. How wonderful to learn the art of writing at such a young age! Now she has her whole life to practice it and hopefully one day we will all become as good and as honest as the writing of a child!
