Crazy Mad

I'm mad about monkeys,
crazy for cockatoos.
I love cuddly koalas
and jumping kangaroos.

All of these animals
and my own little Ted
leave me no room
when I go to bed.

Do you have a favorite stuffed animal you sleep with?  What do you think your animal dreams about? Can you write a poem about your stuffed animal's dream today? Have fun writing.

I paid the electric bill to read your poem.

Food

A young panda

eats bamboo leaves

to get the moisture

that it needs.

A young koala

likes eating

sweet gum leaves

as it climbs

among the trees.

A young joey

in his mother's pouch

drinks her milk

and doesn't come out.

Me, I'm a kid

as you can see

and I like eating

lots and lots

of pizza,

please.

       What is your favorite food?  Can you write a poem about the foods you like to eat?
