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.

FIFTEEN CHICKENS

Fifteen chickens
scratching in the grass
looking for grubs 
to eat before they pass

 on to the next yard
covered in dew.
Can you hear 
the roosters crow
cock-a-doodle-doo?


    Can you guess what woke me up this morning?  What wakes you in the morning?  In the evening?  What do you do when you can't sleep?  Can you write a poem about that?  Let's all celebrate that the hurricanes didn't cause too much damage in Hawaii.  Have a grand day writing and celebrating you.  Happy Sunday.

    I really enjoyed the rhythm of this one and how the chickens' travel from stanza one to stanza two. What fun!
