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.

The Night Sky

The sky is a black bowl,
turned over to spill
icy crystals
sparkling bright
to fall 
across my eyes.

I see a bear,
a horse, a lion,
a warrior,
even a dipper
racing across the sky.

     It's Saturday.  How are you spending your weekend?  Can you write a poem about one thing you are doing this weekend?

    Great images here! I love the night sky as a bowl full of icy crystals that get spilled.

    My first graders are studying the night sky and this year I changed my morning 'message' into poetry time. With some discussion, this poem certainly lends itself to some wonderful visuals for them to illustrate. Thank you!
