Sean's teacher entered some of the kids work into a writing contest called Creative Communication. We just got a letter that Sean's poem was selected to be published. It's kind of cool, to be a published poet at the age of 10. I thought I'd share his poem. It's not the ryhming kind, but it's funny and makes me laugh.
It's entitled Sean
Cool, funny and fun
Son of Susan and Joe
Lover of skateboarding, skimboarding, and surfing
Who feels cool most of the time
Who needs mac and cheese, water, and a house
Who wishes he could have more skateboards, give skateboards to the poor, and own a skate park
Who dreams of being a pro-skateboarder, being famous all over the world, and not being poor
Who fears talking dummies who smile, white faced clowns, and the boogie-man
Who gives help to the Salvation Army, his mom and Nana
Who wants to visit Hollister, California, Alaska, and Norway
Resident of Largo, Florida
Sean
I asked him why he didn't put Kazakhstan as a place to visit, and he said he forgot. LOL
So, of course, I am buying the book for $26.40 cuz you're not a published poet every day.
And, really, every poor person needs a skateboard, right?
I know what I need--AN LOI to meet my Kaz kid, that's what I need.

What great ambition! (I didn't know what I wanted to do at 10!) He can go down in history as the first person who is both a skateboard park owner, and a published poet. The kid has skilz!
How proud you must be!
I'm with you on that LOI thing!
Great Poem!!!! Sean has a great personality & Baby Kaz will be so lucky to have a published poet for a brother.

All I need is mac & cheese, a house and water, too. I am right there with you, Sean!
By the way- just saw this and your last post now. As you know, I love the shoes! I am glad you behaved yourself.
Keeping my fingers crossed for Astana. I would LOVE it if you went there. You would love Commonwealth's "Team Astana"!
What a great poem & what a great son you have!!

I wanna know why Hollister CA? Especially since I've been there.
Cool poem from an obviously cool kid! Worth every penny of the $26.40!
Cute poem! Great job Sean being published at 10.
What a great poem! Way to go Sean!

"Skateboards for the poor" - sounds like a winning campaign slogan to me!! "Sean for President!"
Of course you have to buy the book! What a great poem - he's very creative!!

Hi Susan, Joe and Sean,

OMG, that is so cute. Way to go Sean! A skateboard for every poor person is adorable. You are raising a tenderhearted young man!

Sean is one terrific kid. Great poem.
How great is that! I love his poem! :) When I taught 4th grade the kids and I wrote tons of poetry, it is such a wonderful creative outlet for kids. Kids loved poetry since there was no worry of punctuation or grammar for that matter, just using your thoughts in a creative way. So fun! Kudos to your budding author Sean!
Christy
That is so cool!!! What a proud Mommy you must be!!! Whew-hoo!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!!! WISH I COULD CELEBRATE WITH YOU IN FL!
Best wishes for a wonderful day,
Eileen
