   Hi Julie,
   I handed this freewrite to my two oldest this morning and they both decided to write poems. I thought they both did a great job, and they were both excited by what they had written. When I told them that sometimes you put kids writing on some of your online venues they asked me to send a copy of their poems to you!! (p.s. I completely understand that you get reams of writing!!)

   As an aside- before bravewritier, my son equated writing with a large plateful of yams (he detests yams!)

   Here is my daughter’s, age 9:

   When the fish bites
   When the dark comes
   When I’m feeling sad
   I simply remember some beautiful things
   And then I don’t feel so bad
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>
   Silver-white snow flakes
   And flowers that God makes
   A mighty old oak tree
   And fishes in the sea
   Little brown sparrows
   With sun on their wings
   These are a few beautiful things
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

   I’ll send my sons when he finishes typing it up.
   Cheers,
   Kristie
