Ahhh...this is adorable! I write poetry with my kids too, though with my son, now a teenager, I use a poem from time to time to apologize if I was harsh and then he would try to explain his behavior through poetry too :)

It is great when we can share our love of poetry with the next generation :)

hey, thanks! :)
my son doesn't care so much anymore, he's a teen now too. but my daughter is still young and silly

thanks SV, for the nice comment

How did I miss this...I feel ashamed. My kids are pretty much grown, teenagers, who aren't interested in writing with me. Poetry has so many forms and can be so much fun.

my son is 14 now, but my daughter is 10 so she still spends time with me.

I did however inspire my son to start writing and illustrating comics . who knows, maybe one day he'll blow out the storyline and design a best selling video game and take care me in a big house?

:) anyway...

thanks james!!!!

I love the simplicity of what makes kids laugh. I laughed too, maybe I am still a kid at heart. Thank you Ana.

[Ana Papaya]

Thanks Chris :)
It's good to be a kid at heart. Life's too serious sometimes. Happy you enjoyed this!

Thank you for reminding childless me how it goes in a collaboration with a child. This is a refreshing viewpoint & I love the way your message is dynamic and a little tongue-in-cheek (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Ana Papaya]

You really can't predict how it will go with a child.
I started to picture bubble gum bubbles.
Thanks so much for popping in to read this one.
I've written a lot of poems with my daughter but she only gives me permission to post once in a while.

[barleygirl]

Great details! I'm smiling!

[Onlyme]

This is delightful ditty. Cute sweet and fun. What a joy to read.

[Ana Papaya]

Hi Dawn, thank you again for reading some of my silly poems. :)

[Onlyme]

They are not silly sweetheart. They are fun, interesting and great reads. Never put yourself or what you do down sweetheart. blessings and be coming back again. Dawn.

[Ana Papaya]

Oh no, I would never do that at all. I love my silly poems. I meant silly as a good thing. As in light hearted and not serious. :) Thank you though, you are very kind to say that.

[Onlyme]

Exactly as good things. hugs Dawn.

Children do love the bouncing balls. Balloons, another item to make them have some fun. Nice flow of words. Make the reader believe. Thank you Ana for sharing the amazing poetry.

You are welcome Ana.

The mind of a child during inside afternoon recess.
Sort of a feeling and sense of revolt behind this. I picture
a dark stuffy library being over run by high bouncing pinkness and cheer.
a simple happy write that takes the reader beyond. Ever so Brilliant.
Nice work you two :)

[Ana Papaya]

aww thanks. i am smiling :)
i pictured something similar, dreary school halls full of children who don't want to be there and then the most delightful and chaotic surprise bursts in as children run from, into and around squealing. happy days... thank you so much, my little girl will be pleased with your comment :)

[mercy party]

You are ever so welcome. :) :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

That is so cute... you make a talented pair.

[Ana Papaya]

Thanks so much Cowboy!! :)

[Gee]

Not bad for an 18year old......JOKINGGG.
All I got from my daughter was, " Dad, you're a nerd "
It is nice to see the wee uns feet following in mums footsteps. :)))

[Ana Papaya]

The 18 year old is me of course :)
And I have to agree with your daughter. (Nerd)
Anyway, thank you. It;s just little fun moments to share.
She'll be who she will be.

[Lorry]

A star of the future methinks. I would guess this took about four hours to finish, in between giggles and smiles. Please let her know that I thought it was bounceriffic. :)

Ps... Well done to you too :)

[Ana Papaya]

I will let her know for sure. Bounceriffic. she will like that. It took more like 4 minutes, she;s definitely and budding star. Thanks Lorry! I am so thrilled with your comment. :)
