My seven year old Grand Daughter was impressed with my feeble attempts at writing, so I asked her if she could write her Grandpa a poem.

          The following poems are a result of her effort: First,"SPRING TIME ON BEL AIR"-Bel Air is a street name-her poem to her Grandpa, and second, "SPRING FLOWERS" a poem that I wrote for her, in response.



          SPRING TIME ON BEL AIR



          Shelly plays Two-Square
          I play too
          how about you?

          Cars pass
          Ice Cream Trucks too
          Stop!Hey!You!

          Trees grow
          Flowers bloom
          There goes a Bride and Groom

          The air is so cool
          T he flowers are fresh
          That's why Springtime is the Best!




          SPRING FLOWERS



          With the spring breeze if you listen
          you can hear a flower sneeze,
          as it's head turns up to the sun.

          The day warms,
          and the Honey Bees swarm
          to suckle sweet nectar from a Pistil.

          Clouds billow in creature like forms as children gather to guess.
          A point, and a giggle signal a response from the rest,
          and laughter fills the air as the day warms on.

          Dusk brings a crisp cooling as the petals begin to close,
          and row upon row of flowers begin to doze
          in sleepy anticipation of the morrow,
          when if you listen, you can hear a flower sneeze
          in the warming spring breeze.
