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.

THE OSTRICH

"I'll be your friend,"
the ostrich said.
"Come, let us go run."

"Nah!" said Lion
arching his back,
"for me that isn't fun."

     A Very Lazy Lion is still looking for a friend.  Ostrich has offered to be a friend, but it isn't good enough for Lion.  Have you ever tried to be someone's friend and been rejected?  How did you feel? Friends are people who like to do the same things we like to do.  What do you like to do? Can you think of one new thing to try today?  Can you write a poem about it?
     Have a great Saturday.
Sometimes it is better to walk than to run.
