Children Without TV #29: Reverse Writing: Major Players

Through the Looking Glass

Capital figures:
Majuscules stage the scen’ry
Left, right, in between.

At five who says where the letters go?
Forwards, backwards, on the window pane in the wild?

Ambidextrous

Broke my right wrist;
Switched to left.

Right brain grows poems;
Left brain spells.

Right side sings;
Left can add.

Right hand writes well;
Left hand shakes.

Two hands brush teeth
Open jars; cut fruit.

Woe is me!
What a switch:

Broke my right wrist;
Switched to left!
