Best Toy Poems

Little Toy Soldiers going off to war
None will ever live to  see age twenty four
None of them even  know what they're fighting for
Little Toy Soldiers going off to war

The world has always been this way
With Emperors and Kings
Fighting with toy soldiers
And the glory...

Think, children: what will you tell
your grandchildren when they ask
about Earth--once bursting green
and red and yellow with blossoms
everywhere, and bushes serene 
in shadows of lime-colored trees,
with bird songs filling the air?

I hope you'll remember turquoise seas
brimming with life, color dancing on
water, boats with white sails,...

One Toy Soldier

Little toy soldiers are all put away
Training is over for this time of day.
Where do these little boys go now to play?
Away from their home to die in the fray.

Little toy weapons are no longer there
But boxed in attics by mothers with care--
Where...

A young man bought a tight pair of fleeces,

 And their stranglehold filled all the creases,

But the fit was so thin

 That he couldn't begin

     To pump blood to his bits ... and his pieces.


     Well, they...

Dark sky overhead
Never seemed to leave her alone
Everything chilled to the bone
She wore those grey sky eyes
Kneeling down in the sand
While catching teardrops in her hand
Her sould cried...
Rain poured down into her heart
Happiness did depart
Oh how she longed...
To live a life of joy
Instead she was...

The other day while rummaging in a closet I was instantly overcome with joy
when I ran across our storage bins filled with our children’s once used toys.

Toys our children and grandchildren played with when they were young and new…
Toys that don’t grow up…like children and...

Child play. Dawn, as a wind-up toy,
jumping up and down, keen.
A buoyant verdancy of joy -
waking up fresh and green.

Waking up fresh and green.
The ivy…the oaks and weeps.
On the salient morning I lean.
Whatever this day…it is for keeps.

Wiping tears and sand from ducts.
The ascension of...

It was shiny and bright sitting under the tree.
There were other things there, but that's all I could see:
a Lionel toy train on a circular track!
The caboose was maroon and the engine was black.

And to top it all off on this fine Christmas day,
was an...

Each of us has one;
each alone may see it,
and none is ever touched these days.
Its content, though, is real enough.
There little blocks of memory
are carelessly assembled,
rudely left by time to gather dust
that filters in to gently cover them--
not quite enough to cause
an aging child to...

Roger was an humble man, 
who dreamed of being a stud; 
for when it came to pleasure, 
poor Roger was a dud! 

He created a little tool, 
powered by electricity; 
guaranteed for pleasure, 
a boost to virility 

A simple strap around his waist, 
electrodes taped...

I was at my age avid for adventure
Played outside the home, street as my playground
Every nimiety of joy, I want to capture
Never ran out of a game plan to lay down

At that time, robots are in the boom
Voltes V, Mazinger...

Bright and polite
kids. Deferential
squirrels. Leaders of
leaders. Each man
his own man
living with his mate.
The great and the small,
all, the state.
                    On the other hand,
you find yourself
no hawk
but...

lit up with the power to attract and excite
and framed by a window of the toy shop that night
a miniature world of trains, bridges and hills
took my mind off the cold from the late autumn chills.

there were signals that moved and tables that turned
and lights...

Dear Teddy Bear, My Teddy Bear

I keep you with me night and day,
Amazing how you always play.
When it is time to take my nap
You rest with me right in my lap.

You are my bestest furry friend!
May our sweet friendship never end.
I know you love me...
