Henry the Hedgehog

On a lovely sunny morn Henry the lonely hedgehog Awoke with sun as it reached dawn As he heard some croaking frogs With birds a chirping everywhere And the frogs making their din Henry, looking here and there He gave a sleepy grin He'd woke up from hibernation All set for a brand new season Looking forward to a new adventure His waking gave him reason To say 'hello' to all around He felt real good today He has a chat on the muddy ground Then he went upon his way As he strolled along the path He saw old Polly Parrot Old Polly he did make him laugh He was chewing on a carrot It's not the fool that parrots eat But that's how Polly is They both were happy so to meet And spent their day in bliss

It's nice to see the efforts of another lyrical poet. This poem was well crafted and rendered with good flow. Kudos to you Vera.

Thank you so much Robert, I do like writing these little kids poems as I call them, I give them to my young granddaughter, in fact I made her up an album with all my kiddie poems and illustrated them, she love it, take care......Vera

Jan my dear friend thank you so much for the lovely comment, I can always rely on you, actually I feel so silly putting my poems on this site because they just don't match up to all the other poems people put on, but Peter always has a go at me when I say that, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't put them on, but thank you so much for all the visits you make to my site, take care my friend and love to the family........Vera..............
