MY WISH FOR YOU

Goldfinch at the feeder;
hummers at their dish
a happy sunny day for you
is my Valentines wish.


     A very happy Valentines Day to you.  Can you write your own Valentines wish poem today?  Have fun writing.

POPCORN

I made me some popcorn.
Crunch. Crunch.
Thought I'd eat it
for my lunch.

I ate a little.
Munch. Munch.
Then I ate 
a whole big bunch.

I need a drink.
May I have punch?
I can tell you,
need a hunch?
I love eating popcorn
for lunch.


    Can you write your own poem today about snack foods?

The Writing Habit

I want pencils.
I want pens.
I like to write
about my yens.

Give me an eraser
to cover my mistakes.
I love poetry
and the feelings it makes.


     Can you write a poem about something you like or want?  Have fun writing.

TIME

What time is it?
My clock is late.
It says six
but I know it's eight.
Maybe it's nine
or possibly ten.
I think it needs
a battery again.


     Do you have a favorite time a day?  A time when you feel more active and alive?  Is it morning or night?  Can you write a poem about a special time?
Have fun writing.

Sunshine

The sun is shining
sparkly bright
the doves have landed 
from their flight.

Won't you come 
and visit me.
In Tucson it is
bright and sunny.

    Can you write a poem today about the weather in your place of the world?  Have a happy day.

On winter days
when the wind is blowy
and cloudy sunshine 
makes the landscape shadowy.

I watch the willow
be all billowy
and wonder if 
it will be snowy.

I imagine my dear friend Chloe
dancing with an Australian joey
singing and hopping
being all showy.

I think I'd surely like to know
what sort of things you would do
if you had a pet Australian joey
and you could play with a kangaroo?


    Happy Sunday.  If you could have any animal for a pet, what would you like?  Can you write a poem about that?  Have fun writing.

Arizona Slide

Come with me.
Do not hide.
Take my hand.
I'll be your guide.
March  up the stairs.
Let's take a ride.
Let me show you
fun on the slide.


     This is a slide in Carefree, AZ.  Notice the sun shade over the slide.  In Arizona most of the playgrounds for children have sun shades.  Without the canopy, the metal on the slide bed would scorch and possibly burn.  What is your favorite piece of playground equipment?  Can you write a poem about that today.
