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.

TOO MANY BABIES

Rebecca has plenty of Beanie Babies®
Her whole collection is something crazy--
      A gorilla,
           An elephant,
                A cockatoo,

     A moose,
          A bunny,
               Or is it two?

She even has a pig
     in a hat of daisies.
And her Dalmatian
     has a tag for rabies.

Altogether Rebecca has 21

     or 19, maybe.


Do you have a collection?   Of rocks, books, baseball cards, or nail polish?  My friend children's poet Amy Ludwig VanDerwater has a collection of buttons she is adding to. You might enjoy visiting her blog by clicking on her name in the line above.  Can you write a poem about collecting things today?  Have fun writing.

Donna over at Mainelywrite is hosting the Poetry Friday Roundup today.  Thanks Donna.  You'll find lots of links to some great children's poems here.
