Poetry Scholar

In the winter Brielle wrote a poem for her class assignment. Ms Karnes submitted the poems to Creative Communication to be published. She informed us that we were not guaranteed to be published but that we would try. She also stated that only about 1 out of every 3 submissions is published. After submitting the paperwork I kinda forgot about it until we got the mail this afternoon...

Brielle won Top Ten Poem for the age group of K-2. She is the only 1st grader and the only student from Missouri. She won a $50 savings bond for her awesome poem.

I was quick to call Ms Karnes and confirm her winnings and the reputation of the organziation. She assured me that this was quite an accomplishment and that we should be VERY proud of her. This is quite rare!!

Way to go Brielle!!

Here is the famous poem:
My Brother and My Underwear
by Brielle Blackman
On Christmas morning I ran to the tree.
I wanted to see what was for me.
I got a glass doll and a fat skirt,
Lots of candy and a fancy shirt!
But what happened next,
Made me stare...
My brother had opened my underwear!!
