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.

Haboob Cinquain

Desert
dusty wind blows
a wall of sandy grit
unable to see in the storm
haboob

     Before I moved to the desert, I didn't know the word haboob, which is a fierce sand storm.  Can you write your own cinquain today?



paved road
warmed by the sun
four quail scuttle across
a rabbit races after them
good day

  1. Joy,
    I see a picture book about a typical day in the desert with your name on the spine. Go for it!
