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.

Ides of March

I'm hiding here
behind this larch
trying to be safe
on the Ides of March.

    In ancient Rome, March was the first month of the new year and the Ides of March fell on the first full moon of the year.  There were religious ceremonies including the feast of Anna Perenna, goddess of the year. If you are feasting today, what foods will you eat?  Can you write a poem today about feasting?  Have fun.
