four child with book senryu
four child with book senryu
sailing island-ward
tireless monsters await
where the wild things are
all the eggs have hatched
quaking and waddling road-ward
make way for duckling
man with yellow hat
curious monkey named George
unlimited fun
what words can you read
child with upside down book
living life forward

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

Upside down book ~~ yep, little ones do make sense of them!! Wonderful poem.
Love this! Really enjoyed #2.
Sweet…brings back nice memories 🙂
Deeper than the words – the symbols in these senryu move the reader from the innocence of childhood to the places turned upside down, to the challenges beyond childhood tales. Beautiful.
Love this. The image of the child reading the book upside down is priceless because, they do try to…lol Living life forward… nice!
Lovely read Tammy.
Got to love number one. Just have to. Awesome write right there.
What’s very sweet is when a child (who can’t read) reads you a story. Love this.
love this whimsical piece 🙂

This made me feel a child again. Whimsical fun!
Never mind if’s upside down. It’s on the way to a very good habit. Seen lots of time this happened. Nicely done Tammy!

Really cool poem. Love the way it leads the reader in one direction and make a smooth change to something new. Awesome.
I like the play with children’s books here.
Aww, when my son was young, he loved to be read to. Would hold his books, didn’t matter that they were upside down, knew the words by heart! Great capture of both childhood and the fictional characters we’ve all grown to know as parents!
This made me smile, of course!
A lovely sunny happy poem.
Yes magic has happened when I’ve surrendered. 😉
How cute is this….I remember my daughter reading a book upside down…in truth she has memorized all the words in a story 🙂
Very cute – great pic, love the books chosen. k .
what wonderful worlds we travel in books and in childhood =) great poems
charming write, filled with memories for me. ~ Rose
Awesome poem, and I love the photo! It looks like my little sister at that age!
This was so inviting and imaginative! I loved it~ Yours is wonderful~ 😀
SO much charm in these words attached to our memories!
Love when a verse weaves in so many tales, great job!
I love the contrast between life lived forward and the upside down book being read backwards. I’ve seen that so often.
well-integrated sequence
This is so cool. I know how kids do this and it’s so fun that you join in with the playfulness. As always, your fascination with alternative ways of looking at the world is great.
Ah I think a child can read more in an upside-down book than we adults who live in a logical world could ever guess.
So cute. Ugly Duckling? Where the Wild Things Are? Curious George? All ‘popped’ into my head! Love it.
These senryu wafted a smile across my face.
That is quite lovely, thanks for stopping by WW http://www.nycsinglemom.com/2012/07/31/jumping-for-joy-wordless-wednesday/
I love that! The children’s book section is the first section I go into when I go to any bookstore. The illustrations just draw me in.
A very nice poem. I loved the way you conveyed your message.
great poem!
I bet I could read quite a few.
