Short Polk Poems

Sugar coated
Polk-a-dotted
Love is all I need

From my head to my toes
All I need is some love

Wrapped in paper or
Different flavors
Love is all I need

Give it to me in a poem
Send if off to me at home

Find it under your bed
Get it through your head!
Love is all I need...

“Children need poetry too!”


There once was a little cat
Which wore a polk-a-dot hat

And once there was a little dog
With a pair of striped overalls

They would run around and play

You couldn't tell at first glance

If striped paints were on the cat
Or the dog wore a polk-a-dot hat...

Crying for my lifeless winter.
Nostalgic early morning rains from my springtime.
I just wish there were more seasons for all of us to get together before it's all over.
Sorry, friends.
Sorry, everyone.
What a walk it's been....

Christmas isn't always as good as they say
One year it was too warm to be white
I had a cold that lasted 3 days
and my sister and I got in a fight

At dinner my dad sneezed out his blue glass eye
He tried to catch it, but it was too late
It flew all the way across the table
and landed in my sisters plate

She squealed, jumped up and spilled her tea
and ruined my new lime green Polk-a-dot sweater
Christmas isn't always as good as they say
Sometimes it's even better!...
