Hi everyone out there! I hope that you're having a awesome day so far!😀

You might be wondering who James.K.Baxter is? Well actually he is one of the most famous writers of all time! One of the poems that he is famous for is called My Town! The one that I wrote is called My thinking tree (Of course it is his town, not mine!) The success criteria is something that we have to have, or similar. If you see the highlighted words, that means that I have proof that I have completed that thing on the list.

And this is mine...

My Thinking Tree

My thinking tree was usual Enough

It had spongy grass, tangled branches, a clear blue Sky

With the sun twinkling over It, and even a black cat Perched

On the lower Branches

I tried only once to do that Though.

My cat friend and I

Did what best friends Do - lay with our heads Together

Thinking, the cat ate my crazily thick Hair, chased Sticks,

 Called for the smokey grey kitten next-door to come Over

To our house

Lay on the soft grass tired of the exciting Stuff

That we had done that Day

Cuddled or Explored

Doing nothing Important.
