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.

STONE

Rock

obsidian
sedimentary
sandstone

limestone
calcite

granite
crystal

MAGIC


    This is a list poem built on the word stone.  Can you take a single word and build your own poem?  You might want to use a thesaurus for this one.  Have fun following your words to see where they might take you.

Children's poetry starts with a small idea and grows.

      Thank you. This approach also gets them used to using a thesaurus. ;-)

      Thanks, Linda. I was actually looking for a way to used gnesis in a poem and I ended up here. The turn at the ending was a surprise to me too, but I liked that.
