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.

Goldfinch Good Bye

A flock of goldfinch
feasting
in the blown broom sage
gone to seed
like blooming sunflowers
on a gray day.

    This is a wonderful time of year as birds, plants and people get ready for the winter.  What things do you do to get ready for the cold?  Can you write a poem about that today?  (If you live in the Southern Hemisphere you're getting ready for warm summer weather and will have a very different poem.) No matter what you write today, have fun.

Writing is an adventure to take us in many directions.

  1. So lovely, that 'blooming sunflowers/on a gray day", Joy. We have warm weather again, till the weekend, then snow. No flowers any more though. I get ready for winter by staying outside as much as I can before it's really, really cold!

  2. Lovely simile, Joy. I love your creative eye!

    The only change of season image that comes to mind is lawnmowers converted to mulching machines or stored away until next summer.
