Here I sit drinking my morning coffee and reading Hannah Maloy's charming " Morning Coffee." Hannah is in the 6th grade at Macon Middle School.
MORNING COFFEE
To Ohio
past flat grounds.
I say,
"Mama, look at all those gardens."
To Aunt Soni's house
greeting them with
hugs and kisses.
Aunt Soni says,
"You've grown a mile."
Then to Meemee and PapaDon's
where in the morning,
PapaDon,
in his pj's,
drinks his coffee and
reads his newspaper.
He says, "Want some coffee, Sweetie?"
Hannah is the daughter of Holly and Mike Maloy of Franklin, NC.

This kiddo can capture voice. What a great job. Loving these poems, Kay.
Bah! That anonymous was me.
Lovely in its simplicity!
Thanks, James! It's good to have you back. And always good to see Willow and Vicki.
