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.

Friends

 
copyright 2014, Joy Acey


My friends come in many sizes
and every shape and hue.
I do not judge them by how they look
but by the things they do.

     Who is your best friend?  What does he/she look like?  What things does this person do to let you know they are your friend?  What do you and your friend do together?  Can you write a poem about this?  Have fun writing.

      Thank you, Linda. I like happy poems, don't you. But then, I think every child should be guaranteed a happy childhood. Your grandgirls are so lucky to have you to help make their days happy.

    Joy,
    Another good one to pass on to some educator friends.

    Very nice, Joy! I can imagine this poem in a fantasy book where a child meets creatures from outer space, too. :-)

      Oh wouldn't that be fun. I'll have to think about your suggestion. It might make a fun collection. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
