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.
An experiment in family dinnertime activity. The ladies and I will try to crank out a poem or two a week. The ladies are: Nika who loves to draw; Lina, who loves school; Lexa, who loves to giggle; and Sophie - ditto. The adult supervision consists of: Mama, who is the glue that binds us all together; and Papa, who makes it home for dinner most nights.

Happy Halloween Poem
"Trick or Treat"
It's a cold night in October
Chilly screeching wind howls.
With autumn nearly over
The night belongs to more than owls.
Witches, skeletons, werewolves, ghosts,
Monsters, vampires, and more -
Parties with their ghoulish hosts
Joining with this frightful tour.
Glowing Faces on the stoops -
Promise of rewards so sweet,
Children scavaging in groups
All shouting "Trick or Treat!"
- Nika, Lina, Lexa, Sophie, Papa, and Mama

Inaugural Family Poem
Dreams on a Starry Night
Golden flowers in the night,
Up above us, oh so bright.
Silver eyeball looking down,
Upon the silence all around.
Sleeping children in their beds,
All wrapped up in silky threads
Dreaming dreams of fairy life
Without a care or any strife.
Soon they'll waken to the day
Games of magic they will play.
In a world by dreams inspired
They'll spend the day until they tire.
And darkness follows once again
And soothes the children with its reign.
