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.

COME

copyright 2015, Joy Acey

 Seagulls call to me,
come to the shore,
come to the shore,
come to the shore.

 And so I walk on the beach,
feel the sand sift through my toes
the sea salt in my hair.
I look for sea shells
and perfect, complete sand dollars.

 I call to you,
come along,
come along,
come along, too.

   Do you like going to the beach?  What do you do?  What do you see?  Have you ever flown a kite on the beach?  For your poetry challenge today, can you write your own poem about the beach?  Have fun writing.

I enjoy being me in all kinds of weather.

      Thanks, Rosi. Next I need to learn how to electronically edit the art. I'm so behind the curve.

      That is why I took the class. I hope I'm getting better, at least I'm learning lots.
      Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

      Joan, on Dec. 15, I get on the airplane with a one-way ticket to Kauai. The cargo is shipped on the 10th. Pray for me and wish me luck.

    Dear Joy, Kauai has lots of mountains and waterfalls.
    I looked at the map. Whereabouts on the island will you live? Will you have internet access? Love, Joan
