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.

I Want to Be

I want to be a silver back gorilla
so I can thump my fists
upon my chest.

I want to be an Italian gelato
so I can drip
upon your hand.

I want to work
in a French perfume factory
so I can smell the scents of spring.

I want to be a bottle nose dolphin
so I can swim and dive
in the ocean.

I want to be a goldfinch
so I can sing
a song for you.

I want to be a mirror
so I can show
you your smile.

But I can't,
so I guess I'll just have to be
happy to be me
and lucky to have you
for my friend.
