An Original Poem, by Eva Phelps

Lyra

Small, cute
Evil eye
Eats like a horse
Drinks like a bird
It's true!


Eva wrote this poem about Lyra at school. She had told me about it before I read it at her "Author's Tea" because she was concerned that everything she wrote wasn't all EXACTLY true even though she says it is in the poem. What part isn't true, I'm not sure. Lyra is small and cute. This 3 ponytail hairdo is something Lyra made up and asks for every day. You can see she makes a mean evil eye! Eva said the "Eats like a horse" part meant that Lyra was a messy eater, not that she ate a lot. Maybe it's "Drinks like a bird," I am not sure what that means.

But it doesn't matter, I love Eva's poetry!
