My House by Micah Clark
My son Micah (12) wrote this the other day. It's his vignette for a creative writing assignment.
My House
I live in pretty large house with a basement bigger than my old house.
I remember a 2 hour drive to an unfamiliar place.
I remember a tour through big empty rooms and wanting the master bedroom
I remember putting on sunglasses and taking a picture on the back porch.
I remember helping moving the last things in the house on December 29th.
I remember waking up on December 30th and taking a picture on my DSi in my new room (not a master bedroom but still great for me).
It means a sign of a better future.
It means an improvement.
It’s not just a big place.
It's not just a place to crash.
Great post, Micah. I am sure you and your family will make lots of memories in that house. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMicah,
ReplyDeleteI love the last two lines of your poem. Thanks for sharing.
We just pulled this up in class! Everyone asked how his piece was published. I told Micah not share his secrets, but he is too honest!
