Short Kick Your Feet Up Poems

Snap your fingers
knock your knees
clap your hands
if you please.

Bounce and rattle
whistle and trill
kick your feet high
don’t take a spill!

Fiddlers fiddle
drummers drum
keep them a whirlin
rub a tum tum!...

Drifting through this ocean of life, alone without a hand.
Reaching desperately for help, with envy for dry land.
Only dark seas in sight, and not a thing to eat.
Water fills my icy lungs, while I frantically kick my feet.
Near to death, far from humanity.
I can hardly think straight, I'm bordering insanity.
Nearly out of oxygen, running out of air,
Going under slowly as I'm tangled in my own hair....

he is the consummate entertainment committee of one
when Hankie appears, we know there will be fun.
he brings stories that are colorful, and wild.
nothing Hankie does is ever blah, boring or mild.

we excitedly kick our feet as his stories are unfurled.
wome would quickly make sure your straight hair is curled.
unfortunately, we just discovered Hankie has passed away.
parties will never again have his quintessential level of play....

Angels among us do not make a big splash
They do not kick their feet and demand attention
They do not yell, scream, shriek or have hissy fits
Angels among us quietly float through life….

Doing the right things
Helping others
Serving their neighbors
Holding the hands of their friends

Angels among us can be depended upon
We call on them first
No matter how busy they are
Knowing they will help us without expecting anything in return...

“Children need poetry too!”


Faster –higher; up and up I go!
Back and forth and to and fro!

The ground beneath my feet a blur.
The wind in my face is all astir!

I am a bird with chain for wings.
Oh! How I love to swing and swing

I kick my feet, I throw my weight
I'm feeling freedom, it feels so great.

I laugh and scream I have such fun
I swing and swing til day is done.

Then in my bed and in my dreams
I swing, I swing -I swing, I swing!...
