Storyteller and Writer

SCBWI & The Author's Guild

"To come to knowledge you have not, you must go by a way in which you know not."

I love sharing stories—both fiction and non-fiction. My love of writing can be traced back to when she was two-ish & used my mom's mascara and lipstick to write on the neighbor’s car! (And maybe blamed it on my brother.) After learning how to write words (and that writing with paper, pens, pencils, and computers was better than using mom's makeup), I took to writing my feelings rather than speaking them aloud — a practice I believe led to the writing life I enjoy today. My stuff lives in Westhampton Beach, New York; I'm wherever a story is to be found or shared.

I love this idea of identifying and thanking the people in the neighborhood. I'm wondering if rather than saying the person's name twice in each stanza you could include the title of their job. By doing so you would add an educational component.

And how's about "we" instead of "you" see?

For example something like:
Look, look; who do you see?
The Crossing Guard keeps Sissy safe for me.
Thank you, Mr. Bud.

Ivy, I love the idea of this, the feel of it, your examples. However, rather than using "Winnie the Pooh" try coming up with a unique or universal example.
