Four Children's Poems

Mud balls dusted flour white,

are summer snowballs

tossed in a fight.

..........................................

I saw a little brown bird

swallow a fat, wiggly  worm.

I wonder if I ate one,

would it make my belly squirm?

............................................

I saw a line of black ants 

rushing down a hill.

Even little ants, I guess,

can have a fire drill.

...........................................

Six sizzling hot dogs

jumped off daddy's grill.

While grandma played the harmonica

our dinner danced down the hill.

With bun in hand, we ran,

and we're running, running, still!
.....................................................

Author's note:  Why not take your children on a treasure hunt,
perhaps, just around the block, or, even in your own back yard.
There are treasures all around, just waiting to be found!

I especially like the one about the little ants, although they were all very good.

That's a favorite with children, too, because they think it's funny that ants can have a fire drill. Thanks for reading my poems. I appreciate it. Blessings, Darlene
