NaPoWriMo Day 26: A Tribute to The Quarrel

Today's poem is an Erasure - the exercise is to take a poem and erase words creating your own poem.

The first famous poem that jumped into my head was The Quarrel by Eleanor Farjeon http://allpoetry.com/poem/8603759-The_Quarrel-by-Eleanor_Farjeon  This was a poem we had to memorize in the fourth grade - yep, we're back to the fourth grade again! I've always remembered this poem and have referred to it over the years reminding myself of what's really important.

I took a few words changed some, and made a little Haiku or  - the short version

Quarreled with Brother
Then he said he was wrong
Now I know he's right
