Sometimes It's Like Poetry


I feel good
Like the sky
And the day
And those chocolate pretend seeds
In the watermelon ice pop
~ Bob Rosenberg, 4

  2. My son Ben just saw Bob's picture and first said "Aww, is that me? he's cute!" I told him it was Bob, not Ben but Ben still thinks Bob is cute.

  3. When I first read it, I though it said watermelon ice poop. Poop, pop, either way it's pure poetry.

  5. I'm not sure what Bob is doing in this picture, but somehow it makes me love him more.

  6. My heart is going to bust right open with this kid and his perspective. Now I've met him and I know that it's all his energy and his twinkly eyes and his inability to stop himself from smiling even when he's being shy. So no, I'm not surprised to learn that Bob is also a poet.
