Poetry

In writing, I have used a poem by James K. Baxter as a starting point to write my own holiday poem. I hope you like it.

Mackenzie’s James K Baxter Inspired Poetry

My cousin’s backyard was usual enough;

It had orange Nerf guns, blue and orange bullets, trees swaying in the breeze, green prickly bushes, and even a frisky cat.

My cousins, brother and I did what kids do -
Dodging bullets, shooting my brother, hiding in the prickly bushes, finding bullets in the swaying trees, and adding more bullets to our stash at our secret base near the bushes

Doing nothing important.
