Toys Poems

I came upon a windup toy.
He danced a jig to bring me joy
because I was feeling low.
My name is Pinocchio. 
I'm no ordinary boy.

I told him I was made of wood,
He said that he understood.
The pleasure he could bring 
radiated from a spring.
Soon, I was feeling good.

The sadness that his jig belies,
which I detected in

Premium MemberTooting Her Own Horn

Mark Allen was ten years old, and his favorite things were trains;
Like teal moments after the storm, when colorful beauty remains.

Mark had a shiny, toy train set, and he was frequently adding cars;
As people often have dreams of travel, underneath jewelled stars.

Mark's Papa was a train conductor. He loved to manage the train;
And Mark liked

All play with toys but

Growing up no childhood destroys,
Even grown-ups play with their toys.
Each to own fun at once,
There’s little difference,
Save that, elders glued to their toys get no great joys.

You better believe it 
When I say this because, 
Here before you I sit ...
The one and only, Santa Claus 

When I say this because 
... I want you to believe, 
The one and only, Santa Claus 
Your eyes do not deceive 

I want you to believe 
Look at me, if you can, 
Your eyes

Premium MemberJoys of a Christmas Past

On that Blessed Christmas morn, 
we watched with great delight one 
of nature’s finest shows,
Streets were being covered by the 
silent falling of pure fluffy snow,
Evergreen were decorated with strings 
of twinkling lights,
They shimmered like stars, illuminating 
the night.

Around the Christmas tree, the laughter 
of children full of excitement and joy,
Busy exchanging and opening gifts

Premium MemberMISFIT TOYS ISLAND FABLE

Alone and Separated
Far from a Child’s touch
Divided in much
A bus with square wheels and not round
A Passenger train with no steam engine pull
A flying Eel
A rewrite Reel
All the above are Misfit toys
Needing the joy from every Girl and Boy
They are stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere
It’s up to Santa to bring the

Premium MemberLittle Talia and her Toys

Little Talia, so cute and sweet,
Was so absorbed in her pursuit. 
She built a tower, high and straight,
With colored blocks to her great delight.

She sat surrounded by toys in an isle-
A giraffe, an elephant and a crocodile
Her imagination ran wild and free,
As she built a world of her own in glee.

Her tower rose to the

Premium MemberGreat Lego Spill at Sea

On a night with waves so high,
A ship sailed beneath a moonlit sky,
With cargo bound for distant shore,
It carried toys, and so much more.

But, fate had landed on a different course,
For the sea unleashed its torrential force,
The tempest rose, the winds did howl,
The ocean roared, an angry beast on prowl.

As the ship heaved to left

Premium MemberBig boys toys

Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
The genie granted three wishes
Yet our heart aimlessly drifted
Weary at doing the dishes 

Hall of mirrors made heart shiver 
Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
Soul thanked not God, Who’s the giver
Till erst dark desires were sifted

With veil of delusion lifted 
Though soul was free, ego was bound
Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
In silence, peace within was
