One of my 4th grade students wrote this poem. I’m sure it doesn’t take much to figure out who inspired the title character. The kids seem to think I wear a lot of black... and the funny thing is, I’ve added a lot of color into my wardrobe lately. Well anyway, this girl is precious, and quite the humorist, with this eye on the world and a writing style that conveys -- the sort of 'have to read it to know it stuff' that will continue to charm us all, I’m certain, for years to come.
Chantal the Black Cat
Chantal the black cat
is waiting slow, steady,
strong, just waiting
until pounce spring
in the air, very clever
very fast very curious
until, smack-on the ground
she missed the big
feast....
