3.) Write a poem for the little boy in your life.
What's In A Name, Mr. Kainoa?
it means loud silly laugh and fun in the bath
it means taking a bite and spitting out half.
it means beaming and gleaming, sweet baby dreaming
it means turning your mother into a blubbering sap.
it means gluten intolerance and candy cravings
it means saying I'm Sorry and unintelligible ravings
it means chasing and racing, naughty corner facing.
it means draining money from your parents savings.
it means rain boots in summer and counter top crawling.
it means devoted blankie love and marker wall drawing
it means basketball balling, clumsy free falling
it means happy boy dancing and long car ride yawning
it means mama's baby and daddy's star,
it means lover of airplanes near and far
it means hiding and climbing, bicycle riding
it means all the wonderful things that you are.

isn't having a boy ever so humbling. =)
Great poem! I wish I could write poetry. I think it just requires knowledge of too many words.....
Sweet poem and even cuter picture. Boys really do give that sweet puppy dog tails feeling.
That's super sweet!
fabulous! such an awesome boy.
Just beautiful.....
Very so great.
Aww. Such a sweet poem. I love it.
I love it. Boys are........... boys. Your poem rocks. You have inspired me ;-)
You know, I still spit out half my food!
I love it! You are so talented. I can't put together a rhyme to save my life :)
I love this poem! And the picture is precious. He is a cutie!
Good morning Mama Kat. Enjoyed your poem. Hope you enjoy my interview with lil' D. Have a wonderful day and take care.

I love that you wrote this with such a positive twist! Your boy has a talented mama.
I cannot even tell you how much I loved this poem. Seriously, it was brilliant ... funny and touching and cute and ... well, it was just perfect. Bravo! I loved it!
Love it! How sweet.
it means love
Your poem is so awesome. really, how long did that take you to churn out, because it really read well. I know from my son that little boys are lots of things and I can so easily see K or Miles doing all of those things.
Good job, Kat!!
Awesome poem! That was so sweet. :)
That was AWESOME!! Welll done. A+ for the teacher!
Oh what a great tribute! You'll have to frame that for him someday.
So lovely, so beautiful! And I love the picture, too!
oh goodness, that makes me just want to cry (and I don't think it's the pregnancy hormones)....so beautiful, Kathy.
This is so beautiful. I feel like I know your son.
Sweet. I think you like him. :)
I love it - all your poems are just great. I hope I get a boy next time around. :)
Cute poem and picture!
Maybe one day I will have a boy but for now it is all about the princesses.
I actually have one that would fit that poem perfectly.
LOL! Michelle, Chelsea, and Marcie created great want ads! I especially liked the ad about having a cat and a dog because the kids insisted they wanted one, now needing someone to take care of them. (The pets, not the kids). LOL
What a sweet poem. Aww, maybe I will try for a third. I think I really want a boy now.
What a lovely poem for your boy!
What a sweet poem for a sweet boy!
Love it. I'm impressed too. I used to write poetry but could never do the rhyming bit. I was always writing free form prose.
Thanks for hosting!
That was just wonderful.
I came over earlier and saw your prompts and thought the poem would be a good one to do... but my brain wouldn't work around it. I loved yours!
Awww...that's a really good one, Kathy!
Great poem!
You rocked that poem! Super cute:)
Your poem is so sweet! I can't wait until my little boy is old enough to experience some of those things :)
great poem
What a great poem!
You didn't mention anything about stinky feet or farting... i'm confused?!
Seriously... so sweet :)
Were you writing about my boy or yours?!! So funny how boys can be so generic, that a poem about your son feels like you're talking about mine... LOVE :).
I love your poem! It's really quite wonderful!
Hey I was at the store last night and saw that Chex has a glutenfree rice cereal. You probably already know but I thought I would pass it on just in case. You can make all sorts of snacks with Chex. :-D
*sniff* Pass the tissue please.
Damn girl! You are good! I know who to call when I need a poem written.
You would do it right?
For free?
Touching poem for your son.
Thanks for all the great prompts, too.

I had the best time ever interviewing my 4 year old today. Guess what?! I get to be a pirate's mom and live on a big ship and be rich! SOrry mine is up so late!
Oh girlie. Perfect!
This was great! You seriously need to write a rhyming children's book! When you do I'm totally buying one! I didn't play in WWW yesterday...I'm a loser I know but I loved loved reading yours!
That was really beautiful.
Little boys are so precious! Loved your poem.
maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try some poetry on for size. Until then, I will just read yours! Great job!!
