It seems as if the poetry corner is an appropriate place for all sorts of creative endeavors.  Tonight's presentation is Nika's artwork from the computer.  She definitely has her own style.  Enjoy "The Midnight Time" by Veronika Willardson.


I guess I need to show her how to use the text tool for her thought balloons.

Backyard Visitor
Fox in the Backyard 12-6-2011

In the morning
In the snow
mama let our own dog go.
When she looked - 
to her surprise -
She saw a fox
Before her eyes.
"A fox. A fox!"
She called for help.
Our own dog,
Bravely chased, not yelped.
A brief encounter 
Near the fence -
Tensions flaring,
Such suspense!
A fox is clever, wily, keen;
He jumped the fence to forest green.
A small adventure to start the day -
We wish they all would start that way!

- Papa, Mama, Nika, Lina (the twins giggled this one out!)
