Cream sickle, dream sickle,
wintertime moon,
you rise too late
and set too soon.
My friend Rosi wrote a haiku in response to my poem SNOW MOON. It got me to thinking about other phases of the moon and how I like to sleep more in the winter. Have you written a poem about the moon? The moon currently is waning, so it soon will be sickle shaped. Did you know that Sickle also refers to a group of six stars in the constellation Leo? Have fun writing your own poem today.
And yes, I was also thinking about food--Creamsicles.
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.
