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.

WAITING FOR SPRING



A little girl
ready for spring
wants to fly kites
and hear birds sing.

A little girl
ready for spring
wants to have picnics.
What should she bring?

A little girl
ready for spring
in her spring dress
she's ready to swing.






     I'm ready for spring too.  The Tucson Festival of Books is this weekend
and I'm all set with my Poetry Friday Anthology for Middle School t-shirt.
I feel so honored to have one of my poems included with the other 109 poems.
Wow!  Lots of great verses from 70 other poets.  Thank you, Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong, editors of this great anthology.
    This is my friend Oscar, an ostrich.  Can you write a poem for him today?

     Poetry Friday Roundup is hosted by Heidi Mordhorst at My Juicy Little Universe.  Thanks, Heidi and Happy Birthday.
