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.

Things I Like in Summer

I like hamburgers
and french fries to chew
chocolate milk shakes
and ice cream too.

I like roses
and irises blue
cool long grass
with morning dew.

I like making necklaces
bead by bead,
and summer books
I can read.

I like going to the movies
whenever I can
to see Laurel and Hardy
and The Thin Man.

I like swimming
and riding my bike.
Can you tell me
what you like?

     I've been feeling really tired and down lately and I find that making a list of all the things to be thankful for often pulls me out of my funk.  Can you make a list of the things you are grateful for?  Can you turn it into a list poem?  Have fun writing.  I hope this is a super great day for you.
