This is a scene of the impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt, born 1844-1926. It is an American scene she did and it was found in later years. The USPO copyrighted it by the date of 2002 onto a stamp. I took that stamp and wrote this poem. Similiar to what Michelle Mead does but I do not mean to be copying her at all. I am just experimenting!
My dress is dirty because of the sand. I do not mind though. Neither does Julie. We love to build sand castles near the water.
My skin stays light while Julie gets very dark! We fight over the shovel. Our socks are wet. There are things out on the water! WOW! My hat with the ribbon has blown away. Mommy or Daddy will find it.
It is pretty in the sunshine.
