Tammie Schaaf

Tammie Schaaf was born in the mountains of Virginia, and raised in the country of coastal North Carolina. A grandmother in her early 40 s, she has been writing for pleasure for 25+ years. She likes to write short stories for children and teens. Her 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter was the inspiration for this poem.

WVU members look forward to reading more of Tammie's work.

If Kaitlyn Was A Butterfly For Kaitlyn, By Grammy-T If Kaitlyn was a Butterfly, with wings of pink and blue. She'd flutter, float and glide the sky, kissing me and you. If Kaitlyn was a tiny Mouse that scurries to and fro. She'd find the secret places, That little mice can go. If Kaitlyn was a Kangaroo, with feet that jump so high. She'd jump and bounce about the place, pretending she could fly! If Kaitlyn was a Lighting Bug, she'd have to sleep all day. When night time comes and stars peek out The lightning Bugs will play! But Kaitlyn's just a little girl, a beauty and so smart! She'll laugh and smile her sweetest grin, and then she'll steal your heart! Copyright © 2002 by Tammie Schaaf
