My Family by Zoey Zumbruski
My little sister likes chocolate ice cream
and makes a mess on her face
so it looks like she has a moustache.
Momma likes earrings.
Pink earrings that glow in the dark.
My daddy works a lot.
He gets a lot of boo-boos from hammers and nails.
I give him band-aids to make him feel
happy as a chimney with no fire.
My pappa likes to make
birthday cakes with me,
chocolate cakes
as sweet as vanilla.
Grandma hugs me
and holds me tight.
Her arms feel
soft as a child’s hair.
My family is great!

Leaning against the wall in the kindergarten classroom are the freshly decorated scout staffs: wiggly bolts of vivid lightning; yellow, mustard and glistening cobalt; red, brown and orange like fall leaves. They are proudly festooned with tropical bird feathers, paint, bright yarn and hand-made beads, as if to say, “I belong to that five year-old who carved me with an adult knife! See her tiny brown scab? It’s a badge of courage! See how focused they are, even near danger? Notice the skill as they peel bark, crafting elderberry beads. Those feathers could be from an eagle!”
