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.

WIND

Bend bushes bend.
Bow to the wind.
Fall petals fall.
Wind blows it all.

 Springtime breezes
fly paper kites
taking our dreams
up to new heights.

    Are you ready for Memorial Day weekend?  What are some of the things you see in the wind?  Can you write a poem about the wind today?  Have fun writing.
   The Poetry Friday Round Up is hosted by Matt Forrest today over at his blog Radio, Rhythm and Rhyme.

      Following your lead, I've got a tanka for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the form you select for tomorrow too.

    Joy,
    I especially like the first stanza's repetition and the emotion in the second. Would the second one match the first stanza more? Maybe start with "Fly kites fly..." What do you think?

    Happy caving!

      Great suggestion Linda. It will take some fiddling to get the rhyme and meter right, but it will also help to get rid of the gerund taking. Thanks for helping me to take another look at this little poem. Isn't it the most simple poems that take the most work?

      Simple isn't always easy, is it. Have fun with rhyme, meter, and any revising you decide to do.

    Your poem has inspired me to write my own wind and breeze poem! (There might be a tornado in mine!)

      Have you thought about putting a tomato in your wind poem?

    Joy, I like the idea that springtime breezes take us to great heights. I am feeling the elation of springtime. I hope you join me for Spring's Symphony.
