I love this poem. And thank you for sharing your messy process. When I saw it so neatly scribed in the notebook, I thought she truly is genius to be able to write it down without so much as an errant ink blot. How heroic, though, for you to reveal the truth. LOVE IT! (BTW, one of my nephews called me Crazy Aunt Sue when he was just a child. It's taken 55 years to be upset about it.)

Lol!!!! I'm delighted that you liked my poem *and* my revelation of my messy process!!! Like you I'm lucky enough to be "Aunt Sue" to a number of very loved young people and I sincerely hope I amuse and baffle them from time to time! 🤣😘

I loved the Father William poem when I was little. I would beg my father to read it to me so I could tease him about being old. (He was in his 30s at the time.)
