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.

Nap Time

Do I have
to take a nap?
My hands want to
clap, clap, clap.
My feet want to
tap, tap, tap.
Oops, I heard
your fingers
SNAP
and point toward bed
where I WILL
nap.

     Can you snap your fingers?  Do you remember when, how you learned to snap them?  How about writing a poem today on all the noises you can make with your hands?  Or simply write a poem about something you can do with your hands or feet.  Hope you have a jolly good time writing.

Missing You

I smell the fresh air
and flowers sweet--
primroses and snap dragons
line the street.

The colors are fresh
and super lovely.
They smell so sweet
and other worldly.

Sunshine and flowers
it doesn't get better than this.
You are the only
person I miss.

I wish you could walk
along the beach with me,
or we could sit
neath the tall pine trees.

     Happy Sunday.  Today is a great day for a walk outside.  Use all your senses and what do you see, feel, hear, smell and taste?  Can you use all of this information for a poem?
