This morning Nicholas was holding the baby and I told him to sing one of his poems from school, I suggested “The Swing” . He then informed me “Ack that was my first one, I hate that one, I hate all the ones by Robert Louis Stevenson!”
I just thought it was so funny that a kindergartner has such strong opinions about poetry! Personally “The Wind” is my favorite. LOL
While we are on the subject I love this CD. My music, literary, poetry critic my have his own opinions!

I’m interested in what it is about RLS’s poems he doesn’t appreciate. I bet he could articulate exactly the theme or the characteristic that he finds unappealing. :goodjob:
No kidding – even to know RL Stevenson by name! Good job, mom!
Excellent
well, it sounds like he has earned the right to an opinion on the subject :laugh:
Isn’t it funny how opinionated children can be? I personally love the RLS poems because I remember my Mom reciting “The Swing” to me when she would push me on the swingset. I was probably only 4 at the time. To each his own! ;o)
Kristyn that is a really sweet memory! Maybe I ought to do the same so Nicholas can have an appreciation too! I really like all the poems they memorize at school. :sunny:
