Saturday afternoon
At 3:00,
The sun was shining
And through the ocean bay
And more and more smiles
Came from all over the world-
And some days were
Tight in the new world
And summer dreams
Came from all over
Again from the new world.
-Melanie Means, age 6
My youngest daughter wrote this after I taught her some of the aleatoric methods I’ve been playing with. She used the newspaper as a source text.
