I have to confess to a bit of nepotism in this blog post: Olivia is my niece! She is 6, and I think she currently has a nascent awareness that her uncle Josh is, in fact, a Very Important Poet. It was in this spirit that her mother (AKA my sister) sent me the fantastic poem below. This is, to my knowledge, the first poem Olivia has written; it's certainly the first one that makes any kind of sense! And I love the fact that it rhymes too. Check it out!
