Make Believe (story)

I draw pictures like a story.

A blue sky spreads all
over the paper

and marshmallow clouds
play, like children.

I also draw a calico kitty
with
pretty colors

orange is my favorite.

Puddles of water are
huge like the ocean, nice
and sparkly

like the sun in the sky.

I make a happy face with
red circles for
eyes

and a fat nose-dot in
the middle

now I see behind
the trees,
someone is peeking.

There are many faces. Why
are they hiding?

They should be brave
and visit me.
Are they
shy?

Birds hang on shaky
branches

I draw strong legs so
they don't fall
off.

I put pointy teeth on
sparrows

now
they look like smiling
tooth brushes.

Some birds are huge
like crows
or even ravens

I paint their teeth white
too
and gleaming

but not like the moon
at night.

Green Bay is
splashing with lots and
lots of water

I draw waves higher than
a whole cup of
rain drops

they try to roll and
tumble
all over the beach

and when they do
they go SPLAT, with lots
more SPLATS.

I slide on colors in
my rainbow
right into the cold water

now I’m swimming
In the ocean

I watch stacks of fish with
my
HUGE brown eyes.

My face looks huge like
a mountain

I make it stick out in the
middle
of the ocean

now I am an island
full of
rocks and trees.

My arms are part
of the land

that stretch round and
around
the whole world.

They reach far away to
find pretty flowers

I paint them all different
with nice smells
and lots of happy colors.

The wind likes playing
chase me

so I float like a sea gull
and swoosh
all the way to shore

now my arms
are tired
and I stop for lunch.

First, mommy and daddy
need a happy hug.

I need one too!
