This is a very special guest post, a poem written by my friend, Ella, who just turned 10. That’s Ella and me in the photo.
Ella is an amazing spirit. I was sitting with a few friends at the beach bar one early evening recently, and she came rushing over, excited to share her new poem with us.
It blew us all away.
Happily, she agreed to have me publish it here. I’ll definitely forward your comments to her, but I’m not sure if she will be able to respond – depends on how much homework she has to do.
Sense Poem
by Ella Eve Lewis
I am all that I see
A beautiful warm flower growing in front of me
A kitten curled up by a fire on a winter’s night
This summer has been full of light
All are a part of me
I am all that I hear
Madonna singing in my ear
Something screeching with lots of fear
There’s music playing somewhere near
All are a part of me
I am all that I taste
A warm cookie soft and squishy
A cold refreshing cherry
A beautiful apple shining bright
All are a part of me
I am all that I feel
A soft pillow all warm and small
A fuzzy wig
All are a part of me
I am all that I smell
A bar of chocolate
A warm flower blowing in the breeze
A brownie soft and warm
All are a part of me!
