Kai Michael Neumann Poet Couplet

Child Play

Child Play

‘Where is your Daddy, Daddy?’
                                 ‘On the moon, how do he get there?’

‘You say with the ladder, he good, sleep, dream,    he play?’



Long pause,……………..serious face,……………decisive silence!!!



‘Sleep good, play is better and ladder,…I  want more bricks’.

‘Red Lego please, red no sleep, red play with moon, Daddy’.


3rd July 2017 written for contest 'Thoughts of 3 year olds'

Meant to be couplet. Well, many 3 year old may not be able to initiate rhyme that well. And can they always count to 2? So this is a couplet and it rhymes, to the best of a 3 year old child's ability...

Harry Horsman July 18, 2017 at 3:55 PM Oh such clever poetry, enjoyed reading this.

Pashang Salehi July 18, 2017 at 11:40 AM Very nice .... good luck.. but if somebody invites me to the moon, I decline the invitation ....I rather go to Chuck e cheeses.

Akkina Downing July 18, 2017 at 7:59 AM Very sweet and cute. My one year old niece is already have an attitude, but she'll like you if you take her to the beach. Lol! Good luck in the contest, Kai. All the best, Kina :)

Darren White July 11, 2017 at 2:36 AM This is sweet :) Even with the excuse! Kai Michael Neumann July 11, 2017 at 3:20 AM Thanks Darren. Take care, Kai

Andrea Dietrich July 6, 2017 at 12:49 PM I don't know, Kai. i have heard real little kids doing rap these days!! but I think this is a good job to display an ordinary three year old speaking! Kai Michael Neumann July 7, 2017 at 3:26 AM Thank you Andrea. To be honest, I wrote the little poem for the respective poem and realised afterwards, it should have been done in couplet form. Tried to rescue it. Childish (?). Many wishes, Kai
