Welcome

This is my playground for poetry written for children with ideas and inspiration for writing your own poems. Come on in. Sit for a spell, have a cup of words to swirl around and make your own cup of poetry. I'm so glad you are here. I hope you'll find the Kingdom of Poetry a fun place to be.

HOP, HOP, HOP, HOP,

I am a rabbit.
I hop and hop.
I keep on hopping
and will not stop.

I hop on one foot.
Hop, hop, hop.
Hop on two feet ,
hop-hop, hop-hop.

Hopping-hopping
until I slump.
One foot is a hop.
Two feet are a jump.

    This is an action rhyme.  Can you tell I've make an exercise resolution for the new year?  Can you try writing your own action rhyme? Do you like to run, skip, or sit?  I can think of words to rhyme with each of them.


My short poem


To run
is fun.
To skip,
don't slip.
But, if you sit
you're full of it.


     Which only goes to prove that I can write bad poems too.  I'm in a silly mood today.  I hope you enjoy your day too.

  1. Hi Joy,

    I love the idea of writing action rhymes. These would make a great school visit workshop. Good luck with your New Year's resolution. By the way, a silly mood is a great time to write for kids!
