My Literacy Poem

My Literacy Poem......or at least an attempt at a poem.

I have been told I entered school reading

And haven’t stopped since.

Primary years filled with basal readers and round robin.

A member of the Bluebirds; never a Crow.

Lived for Scholastic book clubs and read to anyone who would listen.

Allowance saved to buy the next Berenstein Bear and Babysitter Club book.

A loner at times with books as my best friend. 

Many reports written, projects done and analyses completed.

The classics read, but never loved.

Mystery and detective novels are my go-to.

A one-time book reader.

Not a book collector.

Can’t put it down once I start.

Enjoyment is the goal.
