gory sports poetry


R's class had a poetry cafe tonight. it was delightful. 

i learned 
1) that 3rd and 4th graders like to write about death (in gory detail), fairies and magic, sports, and holidays and 

2) the inspiration for Ro's poem entitled "Talking Baseball" was the malevolent baseball in calvin and hobbes. 

3) his poem is a new hybrid subgenre of gory sports poetry

4) our son likes the stage and the spotlight!

Poem to follow when i get a chance.
