Girl Kicks
Little girls like to giggle.
Chocalate milk bubbles,
holding hands,
catching fireflies on the carpet made out of white lint fuzz.
Big girls like little things.
Ping, a Corduroy panda
with beans in his bottom that squish.
Little girls like to mind.
Showing off little lady ways--
Stand tall.
Rules to follow.
A slight dip and turn of the hip.
Big girls like pretty things.
Dots on frocks,
paints on toes,
poems by cummings shared together on the train.

About Me
- Vanessa
- The youngest child of two social workers, I turned out to be lots of things—policy advocate, writer for telecom enterprises, professor of composition, and public school teacher for 4th and 6th graders in Harlem. I feel luckiest to have been a teacher. After stints in Chicago, Boerum Hill Brooklyn, and the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I am home again, proud as the rest of them of this majestic and mysterious state. The blog, here since 2002, has been a journal of my experiences teaching, of home, and of transitional states. Please enjoy.
