Alexis Y. Poet Rhyme

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 June 9, 2021 at 6:56 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.

Connie Marcum Wong April 12, 2021 at 8:19 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

Evelyn Judy Buehler April 11, 2021 at 10:07 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. :=)

Victor Buhagiar April 11, 2021 at 10:21 AM What a cute poem Alexis. Best of the lot.

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

Beryl Edmonds April 10, 2021 at 2:33 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 Alexis Y. April 10, 2021 at 4:09 PM Hi Belle, Thank you so much. Now I'm waiting on you to write one. Have a great day:-)Alexis

Michael Ellis April 10, 2021 at 11:49 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

Michelle Faulkner April 10, 2021 at 10:27 AM What a sweet story about how kids who need each other can kind each other - glad he didn't have to go to Mars to find his friend :)
