Aidan’s a poet:)

Reading

By Aidan Cushing

Inspired by Robert Frost

I peer down into the foreign realm,

And see the crafting looking back.

An adventure, with me at the helm,

An adventure does no book lack.

Maybe this time I am a lifeguard

Spending my days in the sand

Or maybe even a lazy dog.

Laying around in the yard.

A pirate, a robot, a ninja too.

You can find it in a book.

All kinds of stories for me and you.

Just go to the library, and take a look.

As I peer into this foreign realm,

I think of my next adventure.

Where I am captain at the helm,

Reading is my knowledge quencher.

    Now that is an awesome poem! And he’s how old? If I were you -and Aidan -I’d be looking for some poetry contest sites -or better yet, for guidelines to various magazines where you could submit this poem for potential publication and also -potential payment as well!

    As an old -very old -person who has loved reading and books, magazines, even newspapers too, since I was about 4-5 years old, I have to say that his logic in loving books and what he gets out of them is so very, very on target! Wish more kids would realize that with a good book, you can travel around the world, go to any era, time-travel, as it were, and never leave the comfort of a cozy spot where you choose to sit and read!

    Keep up with that attitude and Aidan will go far, indeed!

    Thanks y’all, I’m proud as hell of his ability :)

    Jeni – he’s an old soul, so it doesn’t surprise me. He just turned 13 in April and in some ways is more mature than his 41 yr old father:)

    I had no idea he wrote this well, I’m going to do my best to encourage it.
