Our daughter is closing in on her 13th birthday. Her name is Rome – short for Rosamond.

This past school year, she's been at Greenwood College School in Toronto, and having a blast!

Some of the work she’s brought home has quite astounded us. On this page – for those who have any interest at all – we share some of that material. We hope you enjoy the time spent here.

“Rome's Pomes”

Which which is which?

• This first poem is one that she wrote in class, and – encouraged by her teacher – submitted for publication with other students’ work.

Shoes are like boyfriends

• This was for a class in “comparisons.”

Love

• Just an interesting perspective from a 12-year old.

What am I?

• Once again, a work on comparisons.
  
  

Which which is which?

Then is not than and than is not then,
Than is compare and then is a when

Isn’t is not, and not is a no
It’s simple as that and easy to show

Know is not now and now is not know
Know just makes sense but now will soon go

Too can’t be to and to can’t be too
Too is the same and to is to do

Their is not there and there is not their
Their is a have and there is a where 

Although you may say which, which is which?

Which is not witch and witch is not which
Which is a choice but witches can switch

Shoes are like boyfriends

Shoes are like boyfriends

They come and they go

You get ’em, you love ’em, you leave ’em

They will support you, but sooner or later

You’ve gotta get a new pair

Love

Love is always there.
Through times of sadness, through times of happiness, and through times of war.

Love is there when the wars were fought for their country, love is there when you are all alone, and love will be your friend at any time, for any reason.

Love is a team working together to succeed.
Love is a mother with her child in a broken city, who puts her child first.

Love is unconditional.
