The Tyger, by William Blake

Katie recited The Tyger today at book group, and did beautifully. I was afraid she would freeze up in front of the group on her own, but she didn't. She didn't do it with as much expression as she did for my video tonight, but it was good.

Since Katie felt so possessive about Tyger, I gave Travis his own poem for today. It was, as another mom noted, a very Travis poem. Here it is:

Why?

by James Stevenson

Why is it...

While other people

Are thinking about all kinds of

Important things...

I am thinking about

What it would be like

To jump barefoot

Into an open box

Of jelly doughnuts?
