Poetry

We are visiting my dad in CA for a month. My kids have been enjoying the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon because we don't have cable at home. Today I cut the TV off and told them they had to write a poem about the trip we took out here before watching anymore TV. It's funny how plenty busy they can keep themselves playing games, playing outside, and doing anything but write poetry. Suddenly TV does not seem all that important to them. Writing is not our easiest subject to tackle. My 9 year old wrote a poem though. We'll see if we can get one from the others tomorrow. :)
