Just playful late summer breeze
A gentle warning...

That Mother has a temper

and what I say is best forgot.

Premium Member Coaxing Children To Read

our new librarian has such a fantastical sense of books.
and a love for children, whimsy and imagination.
she put up the perfect sign,
which made me love her immediately.

Premium Member who measured this

Bee's wings beat eleven thousand four hundred times a minute
According to a scientific manual for children
I stare at this fact
Wondering
Who measured these beats
And how?

The Talk (For Children)

"Hello!",  I call from the bed, 

" O, my sun!  Fellow  light, 


    I am glad 
You are fine!"

get up very soon,

instead of me

You'll see the moon!"

Bedtime Prayer For Children

Bedtime Prayer For Children

It's time for small voices to be quiet and still.
It's time for the stars to give us a thrill.
If you're afraid, just remember this prayer.
When you open your eyes, I will be here.

Premium Member Mess

Mess

Making a 
Mess is for children and pets but not for
Me. At least so I think, but 
My wife tells
Me otherwise. However, I have 
My own way of organizing things. I think she likes
Making my life miserable

Premium Member Muddy Waters

“Do as I say” “not as I do”,
Is this anything for children
To see when they are brand new?
The confusions of life,
Are at best, difficult to traverse,
So why muddy the waters,
With contradictory actions and verse?

Call Me Shorty

Call me shorty,
I have to look up
because everyone is taller
except for children who are smaller.

Call me shorty,
I might not be a giraffe,
being petite means not bending, 
walking straight and not overextending.

Give simple joy.

Run through space.

Dreams Collab

I'd like to boast
I saw a ghost,
a UFO
and Big Foot's toe.

I'd like to say
that yesterday
I called her name
and Nessie came.

Premium Member The Farce Of Law

Posters painted
By law tainted
Rosaries rattling
Prayers prattling
Police swoop
Spirits droop
Whisked away
Because they pray
For children unborn
Innocent lives shorn
In abortion clinics
Cold cash for callous cynics
Form: Rhyme

Mack

Here lies Mack
Flat on his back
Sleeping like a baby
His guts are worms
All full of germs
His brain is just a gravy
He was a tool
Drowned in a pool
For children 3 and under
Why so dumb?
No one knows
We can only wonder

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR MAGIC AND FOR CHILDREN

Today I’m thankful for magic…for children…
and for the wonderfully innocent view of the world they bring…
Because…
when we are fortunate enough to see the world through the eyes of a child
we’re be able to see magic…in everything
