In my lunch sack
is a hard boiled egg.
I'll let you have it
no need to beg.
Would you like
a deviled snack?
I also have those
in my sack.
Jelly beans, chocolates, hard boiled eggs? What left overs do you have from the holiday weekend? Can you write a poem from the left overs? Perhaps you'd like to try an acrostic.
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.

Happy Easter
I'm still working on acrostics. Searching for just the right poem.
Today I thought I'd try a mesostich. If the middle letter of each line spells out a word, this is called a mesostich.
So let's see if this works.

Happy Easter
I'm hunting
for my EastEr
Eggs
to put them in my
bAsket. Look low.
Look in, and out.
Search in the roots
of the old
sycamore Tree. Look high.
Look around everywhEre, found each egg.
Sit to rest. Oh
deaR, found one more.
I sat on it.
I sat on it.
Have you ever accidentally sat on an egg? I did. I was so embarrassed. I also tried to make this a concrete poems. Do you think I was successful?
So now it is your turn. Can you write a mesostich? Or try a telestich where the last letter of each line spells out a word. Challenge yourself. I'm sure you can do this. Have fun. Please share your poems with me.
