Congratulations to our other writer in the family! Thing 2 is one of the winners of our library's annual poetry contest! Needless to say, he's ecstatic about it. He'll even get a chance to read his poem at a special celebration along with the other winners. Thing 1 got to do this last year and it was a very nice event. His poem is called "Dragon's Roaring." Here it is:
Dragon's Roaring
The dragon’s roaring
The wind blowing
The trees falling
These are the signs of a dragon coming.
Quick!
Pack your things!
A dragon is coming!
Don’t trip or fall!
A dragon’s coming!
Don’t fly a plane or the dragon will get you!
Don’t drive or the dragon will chase you!
Just run!
Just run!
A dragon is coming!

YAY! I'm so proud of you!! How exciting for you to win the contest! I'm so happy for you and I'm also proud of Thing 1, who also entered the contest (again), for being so excited for him. I LOVE MY KIDS!!
Great imagery. I loved the rhythm. It felt like it was picking up speed as I read. I really felt the urgency in the repetition--'just run just run' at the end. Great job!

Love the part about not flying a plane. Made me realize this is one huge dragon!
