My friend that I grew up three doors down from, since the time I was three years old, Jeff Laughead, texted me last night to let me know that his sister had found this old poetry book from Elementary School and had mailed it to him. I vaguely remember the book. It was a book being put together between ALL the local Elementary Schools and anyone could submit poems and hope that they would be picked to be published in it. My poem got picked - I was in the 5th Grade.
He sent me photos of it last night and it was cracking me up. He uploaded a lot of the photos to Facebook also - there are lots of poems from lots of people I have known for a very long time - and every one of them is hilarious! I was quite the poet… but now, at 34 and with kids of my own, I wonder what the heck the man feeding the colorful ducks in the park was REALLY doing…
