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.

SAGUARO


Sunset
And a rosy
Glow covers the sky,
Up-lifted
Arms
Receive us--
Open and welcome.


     The Saguaro cactus grows in the desert around my house.  The lovely white lei of flowers that grows around the top of each arm is just starting to bloom.  And the elf owls, cactus wrens and the gila woodpeckers are taking up residence in the holes that are made in the cactus.  Spring is here.
     This poem is an acrostic.   Can you write an acrostic about a plant or animal from around where you live?

    Joy,
    Do you have any pictures of birds in the cactus holes? I'd love to see that. Any close-ups of the cactus blooms? I love nature, and I know you do too.
