I can sail the seas with James
All on a giant peach.
I can ride the train with Harry
To find the magic within my reach.
I can solve a mystery with Sherlock
Or maybe Nancy Drew.
I can eat green eggs and ham with Sam,
Help Horton hear a who.
I can go coon hunting
With Old Dan and Little Ann.
I can go through the looking glass with Alice
Into a wonderland.
I can go to Oz with Dorothy
And get the Wicked Witch’s broom.
All of these adventures in reading
Done from the comfort of my room.

Very nice, Emmy! Keep writing.
Mary, you must be ecstatic to have another poet in your family.
I am quite excited about her interest in writing! She normally writes more fiction, but poetry is starting to grow on her these days!
Very good! I enjoyed it very much, thought it was cute!
I loved this poem. Congratulations to Emmy.
For many years, I taught English/Language Arts in middle schools. Emmy's poem speaks to my heart.
Emmy - your poem is as magical as the subject matter - and finely penned - congratulations on your first poetry contest win...I am sure it's only the first of many. You are a very talented poet.
