"Melody Nicole Kazee"


I love to play with babies
And I’ll have one in the future, maybe
At this time in my life, I will not.
But here I am in class
in the hallway, on the sidewalk, in the grass
outside my house, and I’ve got
this bag of flower.
My teacher gave it so much power.
I would fail if I forgot
to carry her with me down the halls,
to protect her from falls.
In a basket that I brought
with me wherever I was able,
and she sat up on the table
as my sister and I 
baked her sisters into cookies and pies.

  1. I love the ending of this poem; it is funny and creative, and the accompanying pictures are perfect. You were probably much more responsible with your flour baby than I could have been! Great poem :)

  2. Angie I can't believe you baked your baby into cookies and pies! Not good parenting. But really funny anyway.
