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.

Moon

(original illustration by Joy Acey, 2013)





Today's spine poem reads in an arc, so you read from the bottom left to the bottom of the right side of the picture.  This one I had to illustrate, to show you how to read it.
If you have trouble reading the words, here they are in traditional linear fashion.

    I hope you enjoy today's poem.  Your challenge for today is to write your own moon poem.  Indians had a different name for the moon for each month.  You might have some fun doing research before you write your poem.  Have fun.
