Love Poem

A couple of days ago, in a moment of affection, K-bao was inspired to pen a spontaneous verse for sister C-bao.

She uses quite sweeping language in her description of her 4-year old sister: wise, generous, kind.


Of course, a few minutes later, all the inspiration was quickly forgotten and the sisters went back to their normal, um, less loving routine. 

Performer

It has become abundantly clear that little K-bao is a natural born performer. Whether it be singing, dancing, piano recitals, athletic events, or literary performances, K-bao enjoys being on stage and in the limelight.

Below she writes a few versus and gets on stage - her IKEA children's table - to share her musical creation. Sister C-bao joins her with an inspired accompanying performance on the ukulele.

Snowy Evening

Here is Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," a patented K-bao interpretation with a little bit of 'tude (notice the Hang Loose jingle at "My little horse must think it queer" at 0:27).

K-bao tends to add dramatic flair to her recitations, and includes some subtle overtones here: "But I have promises to keep" is appropriately apologetic, and "And miles to go before I sleep" is full of dark mystery.

Song of the Witches

K-bao has broadened her literary repertoire with some Shakespeare recently. Here she puts on her best scary voice and recites a spooky poem in honor of approaching Halloween. Sister C-bao listens to the Macbethian witches' chant with a look of discomfort.
