My seven-year old granddaughter and I are having our own
week writing retreat this week, so I only have time for a quick post. Evie and I wrote this
poem together. It was inspired by her little brother, Victor, who loves macaroni and
cheese. He does enjoy a few other foods, but macaroni and cheese is one of his favorites.
Here's Victor enjoying his lunch.
Macaroni and cheese,
macaroni and cheese,
Victor only eats
macaroni and cheese.
Don’t give him pasta,
tacos, spinach, or peas.
He will not eat them,
even if you say, “Please.”
Victor only eats
macaroni and cheese,
Macaroni and cheese,
macaroni and cheese.
All Victor wants is
macaroni and cheese!

Please tell Evie terrific job with this fun poem! (I'll bet Victor approves.) Have a great time together. I love that you all share such creativity. :0)
ReplyDeleteWow! Let your granddaughter know that I really enjoyed the poem! My daughter is SO picky so I can relate.
ReplyDeleteWonderfull little ditty about mac and cheese from all writers! Enjoy your writing time together.
ReplyDeleteLinda, it is wonderful seeing a grandmother- and child-created poem. I told my new grandbaby (4 weeks old) that she is going to grow up to be a reader and a writer. I can't wait to share writing with her.
ReplyDeleteFun poem, poets!
ReplyDeleteIt was all I wanted when I was pregnant with all three kids, and now it's one of their favorites. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you are having your own writing retreat and wrote this together! Victor looks like he is enjoying his lunch.
ReplyDeleteHa! I feel like I know Victor....he might even live in my house. Great collaboration. Fun rhythm you two have going on there.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a writing retreat with your granddaughter. I've known a few boys like Victor, and I love the poem you and Evie created! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. But I think I enjoyed the backstory (and imagining the fun you had writing this) even more than the poem. I LOVE that you are having a writing retreat together. ENJOY! (I also did enjoy the poem!!)
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet is Victor? Reminds me of my wee Daniel once upon a time. And your and Evie's poem is rolicking fun. Very Shel Silverstein-ish. Enjoy your girl! xo
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a writing retreat and writerly collaboration with your granddaughter! Cherish the memories!
ReplyDeleteAwesome romp through a thicket of picky! Nice job, Evie and Grandma!
ReplyDeleteI think most of us went through that phase, or had a little one that did!
ReplyDeleteAnd what fun to be writing with grandma! I find writing with little ones so inspiring, their imaginations have no bounds!
What a fun collaboration! You win stars for being a wonderful grandma--and Evie is on her way as a poet.
ReplyDeleteVictor sounds a lot like my son Ben, who ate only Mac and Cheese for years (or so it seemed!). Enjoy your grandma time!
ReplyDeleteHave fun writing with Evie this week. I love the poem you two wrote together. I can remember having a picky eater. Mac and cheese was a staple in our house, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Victor!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet moment and a poem to be treasured!
