Caroline and I just got ba
ck from our district's "Reflections" award program. Reflections is a PTA sponsored program where kids can enter their work in a variety of categories....art, photography, video, literature, etc. The theme this year was "WOW." Caroline entered a poem called "My World is Upside Down." She won third place at the school competition and third place at the district competition. I am posting a copy of her "Double Third" place poem, but you won't be able to read it. So I will re-type in below. My World is Upside Down
By Caroline Potter
The sky is green the grass is blue.
You are famous and I am too.
Students teach and teachers learn.
It really gives me great concern.
Cows are "neighing" and horses say "moo."
Goblins are jolly and Santa says "boo."
Night is day and day is night.
It's really given me such a fright.
Candy is gross and spinach is yummy.
Really fast rides don't tickle your tummy.
A thief robbed the bank and then chased the cop.
I wish all this nonsense would come to a stop.
Kids asking for homework and teachers refusing.
And though I don't like it, it's all quite amusing.
I woke up this morning and the sky was blue.
It seemed so real. Could it be true?
And I wonder,
Did it happen to you,
Too?
