New Friends- Nursery Rhyme

Little Jake wanted to build a spaceship,
so he could make new friends on Mars.
Kids here were mean; he planned a cool trip 
each night he made lots of wishes on stars.

Children at school made fun of his stutter, 
he got really sad that he kept quiet.
Until a new kid said, “Hi “ with a small utter,
He stuttered too, and his name was Wyatt.

Marikate Kingston Date: 6/9/2021 6:56:00 PM So sweet. I was a pre-k and kindergarten teacher for years, so I had empathy for poor Jake. I loved your line, " Hi" with a small utter I can visualize what two children looked like as I read. So dear. Login to Reply

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/12/2021 8:19:00 PM We need more poetry that shows kids how to accept other kids who may be a bit different so they won't make fun of them at school. I love the internal message in your rhyme Alexis. It helps to teach. Wonderful! Blessings xxoo Login to Reply

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 4/11/2021 10:07:00 PM Your poem has great appeal for little ones, Alexis. There is the exciting and interesting concept of building one's own spaceship for traveling, and also the story of the sad little boy, that had a happy ending. Best wishes for the contest. :=) Login to Reply

Judy Ball Date: 4/10/2021 4:09:00 PM Sweet Alexis. It's okay at school if they have at least one true friend. God Bless, JB Login to Reply

Beryl Edmonds Date: 4/10/2021 2:33:00 PM A good nursery rhyme Alexis, a lesson for children to learn that a stutter can’t be helped, but being caring and respectful can make all the difference to someone who unfortunately does have a stutter. Best wishes for the contest... Belle Login to Reply Alexis Y. Date: 4/10/2021 4:09:00 PM Hi Belle, Thank you so much. Now I'm waiting on you to write one. Have a great day:-)Alexis

Michael Ellis Date: 4/10/2021 11:49:00 AM I just love a quatrain with a happy ending. You gave us a valuable reminder of respect and we can never have enough of those poems..Though I confess I loved the first stanza an ounce more than the second.. Im so biases..Maybe it was the Mars thing Login to Reply
