I've
tweeted a few times how much I love finding my daughter's random writing samples around the house: a list of supplies needed for building a fort ("chars, blakits, tap, bulos, sremrs"*), a copy of a thank-you note composed at school ("Thank you for lating us pic appls. An prs the appls afdr we pict the appls. the sidr was yommye!"). After years of asking us to spell out words for her letter by letter, she is finally comfortable and confident enough to invent her own spelling. I will miss this when she outgrows it (or learns to use spell check).
The other day she composed a mini-story and I just realized it is actually a haiku! A scatological one, naturally:
The monster pewpt and
fel down. That pewp totaly
mest op his plan. Ya!
And here is a picture from one of her storybooks, a retelling of the Ugly Duckling fairy tale:
Happy
Haiku Friday, and happy weekend.
*chairs, blankets, tape, pillows, streamers

It's very relatable. You have no idea how many times poop has messed up my plans.
LOL @ "Pewpt" that is the cutest spelling ever of a hideous word.
Oh BRAVO to her for the haiku (lol) and list making.
I wish I could be so sanguine about the spelling. And random caps. It makes me nutso.
She is so funny! How cute and creative.
I was only stuck on "srmrs." Thanks for the translation.
What a great Haiku Friday.
This was the best chuckle I had all day. Mine is still at the "Mommy, how do you spell?" stage. I can't wait!!!
Stories with hero pewpt - so excellent to see that creativity!
i hate it when pewp messes up my plans, too. Jo rocks and clearly has a poetic soul.
I love that!!
I hate it when monsters pewp like that.
"pewp" never get old. Thanks to you and Jo for making me laugh today!
Great Haiku!!!
She's a genius. I love the poop haiku and her very particular list of items for fort building.
I love that. Love.
Like mother, like daughter.
She has your talent for the written word!
(I just realized that could be interpreted the wrong way.)
beyond awesome.
