Love That Boy - by Walter Dean Myers

Love that boy,
like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
"Hey there, son!"

I sure liked that poem
by Mr. Walter Dean Myers
called
"Love That Boy."

Because of two reasons
I liked it:
One is because
my dad calls me
in the morning
just like that.
He calls
Hey there, son!

And also because
when I had my
yellow dog
I loved that dog
and I would call him
like this-
I'd say-
Hey there, Sky!

(His name was Sky.)

I like this poem because this poem compares 2 different things. The author wrote he loves that boy like a rabbit loves to run . He is comparing his love for the boy to the rabbit's love to run. And a father is supposed to be passsionate about his son. This shows that he is a good father.
