Lego Stop Action and a Poem
These bricks, these bricks are
everywhere
in my pantry and the green chair.
We’ve tried to sort them all by color
How they escape?
I’ll always wonder-
The plastic bins
Never can contain them-
Because he’s always
rearrangin’
We pick them up and then, just then-
It’s time to pick them up again!
How do they always multiply?
It’s as they’ve fallen from the sky!
But my boy’s mind’s for sure a spinnin’.
and he always is a grinnin’
When I say, “go ahead and play!”
and then perhaps,
…maybe,
someday…
I’ll be riding or flying or sleeping in
a super invention
created just by him
all because this mommy said-
“ok- you can build them on my bed!”
There can never, ever be enough
of this bricky, buildy stuff.
Creator, cars and technic too-
Building- and creating-
All day
is what we do!
OUCH!! I just stepped on a red one!

So great!!
Thanks, Kristin:)
WONDERFUL! So awesome! 🙂
Thanks for your words for so long, De! Love seeing you in MY world 🙂
Oh, yes! LOL What fun! 🙂 Legos have a life of their own. (I think they DO multiply!) 😉
Cute! You’re quite talented!
Just having fun with words… and bricks! My grandmother always wrote poems to me- it stuck!
Thanks!
Hi Jen, just came across your Lego poem and I just love it. This is our world, down to the green chair in our den that contains myriads of Legos! I’m making a photo book for my son for his birthday–a picture book of some of his Lego creations. I’d love to include your poem at the end if I could have your permission–this would not be sold or distributed, just a gift from me to him.
Hi, Sarah-
I’m just getting to respons to comments after a blog break while I acted as camp mama at our amazing Kids Church Camp! I’ve been up to my elbows in tie dye and fun! I’d be honored if you’d use the poem! See if you can show me a copy of the book when it’s done, and just include my name and a link to my site.
Enjoy!
Peace, love and lego bricks-
Jen
