A few weeks ago, I share my Haiku for Kids book with some little friends from my church. I also gave them a few of my story books as well. The oldest girl Anna is only eight years old, but very smart. The little brother Isaiah is around five or six. Their mother works with them in home school, so she was able to use them in her teaching time. They were very excited to get my books, and this morning they brought me these treasures. She worked on writing a Haiku and her little brother made up a poem as well. They colored the pictures for me, and included a beautiful thank you note at the end. This really made my day!
Lion King Aslan
Perched tall on a mountain
Majestic, Strong and Fast
Brave
The brave Reepiche
Strong is he
Pointing his sword
Fighting for Narnia
It is great that I got to join C.S. Lewis in inspiring these young minds
Inspired by C.S. Lewis – The Lion , the Witch, and the Wardrobe – from the Chronicles of Narnia

Seems seven and eight year olds are more open to try writing poetry. They don’t worry about perfection, just the love of doing it. Thank you for sharing.
