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.

STOMP
Stomp, stomp.
Stomp, stomp.
I'm doing an elephant stomp.
Stomp, stomp.
Stomp, stomp.
Through the jungle I clomp.
Stomp, stomp.
Stomp, stomp.
On big feet I stand.
Stomp, stomp.
Stomp, stomp.
Leaving footprints in the sand.
Stomp, stomp.
Stomp, stomp.
This is another of the exercise poems. Can you walk like an elephant with big heavy feet? Have you ever watched how different animals move? Yesterday I was watching a myna bird as it hopped along the ground. Then I saw a chicken scratching in the dirt. Can you try writing your own exercise poem today? Pick an animal or an object and tell us how it moves. Do you remember other action poems like, I'm a Little Teapot, or My Grandfather's Clock? What other action rhymes can you add to my list? Have fun writing you poem, and if you'd like, you can share your creation in the comments below.
Today is Poetry Friday and Katie at Logonauts
is hosting us this week. Go here for more poetry. Thanks Katie, for gathering us all together this week.
You'll even find the poem BIRDS I wrote for Mary Lee Hahn as part of our Summer Poetry Swap. What fun.
I hope you have a great week with poetry. Happy Poetry Friday.
This is your world, create the one you'd like to live.
