Spider eyes
August 1, 2010
Did you know spiders have eight eyes? he said, his eyes bulging. Really? I said (thinking he might have mixed up eyes and legs-- he was only four). But a few months later he said it again and then again (even after he turned five). So I looked it up and, you know, spiders really do have eight eyes, usually, sometimes six rarely two and Did you know, I'll tell my young friend, some of their eyes GLOW in the dark?

I LOVE this, Sarah! I look forward to reading more of your wonderful poems!
Brilliant, Sarah!!!
love it!
great poem, sarah!
Sarah! This is lovely! I felt excitement in this poem: the excitement of little ones when they discover something, and then discover it all over again. And how giddy we mothers feel watching them in this process. This is something I savor...
Sarah, this is wonderful. I love how you capture his excitement from the child and adult point of view.
