New Poems

Falling, falling, oh so slow, Leaves in Autumn, put on a show! In the forest, crisp and deep, Where sleepy squirrels begin to peep, The ancient trees, so tall and grand, Prepare a party across the land. Old Oaky, Maple red and bright, Whispered secrets in the fading light. "It's time!" they creaked, a rustling sound, As colors painted all around! Crimson, gold, and pumpkin spice, Each leaf a tiny, dancing dice, Tumbling down in swirling flight, A dazzling, beautiful, leafy sight! The wind, a playful, whistling friend, Sent leaves a-twirling, without end! Some landed softly on the ground, Making cushions, soft and round. Children laughed with joyful glee, Kicking through the leafy sea! Building forts of brown and gold, Stories of adventure to be told. But as the days grew short and cold, The trees stood bare, their stories told. Waiting for the winter's sleep, Until the springtime sun would peep. The leaves now blanketed the ground, A cozy cover all around, Preparing earth for sleepy nights, Until the sun returns with lights. So sleep now, forest, deep and still, The falling leaves have done their fill. Until the spring, with buds so new, Leaves in autumn, we bid adieu!

Swimming in a castle, grand and tall, In Lily’s room, upon the wall! A fish tank bright, a watery gleam, A bubbling, splashing, finny dream. Goldie and Bubbles, oh so grand, With coral castles in their sand. Green leafy weeds, a waving show, Watching Lily, to and fro. Then Lily came, with watering can, “More water for my fishy clan!” But whoops! She poured with joyful glee, A tidal wave for all to see! The water sloshed, the castle swayed, Goldie and Bubbles, quite dismayed! They swam in circles, fast and free, A miniature, fishy, watery sea! The level rose, oh what a sight, Almost overflowing in the light! Then Lily stopped, her eyes so wide, "Oops!" she giggled, deep inside. She scooped a cup, with gentle hand, Returned the water to the land. The level lowered, slow and steady, Goldie and Bubbles, now were ready. They nestled down, in calming blue, The water settled, shining through. With full bellies, and fins so bright, Relaxing now, throughout the night!

The sun, a giant orange eye, Woke up sleepy in the sky. Beaches stretching, golden bright, Waiting for his warming light. Heating up with fiery glee, The sand became too hot to be! Little crabs scuttled, quick and sly, Seeking shade as sun climbed high. Burning, blazing, hot and bold, A shimmering story to be told. Seagulls squawked a sun-kissed tune, As ice cream dripped beneath the moon… (Well, almost moon, it was still day!) The sun just laughed and shone away. Children splashed with happy squeals, Ignoring how the sunshine feels. Happy summer, warm and grand, A sun-soaked day on golden sand! The ocean breeze, a cooling kiss, Summer heat? We won’t dismiss!

In the savanna, sun so bright, Golden grasses, what a sight! A watering hole, cool and deep, Where sleepy hippos softly sleep. Elmer the elephant, big and grand, With wrinkly knees and dusty sand, Arrived for a drink, a mighty slurp, His tummy rumbled, “Blurp, burp, burp!” He lowered his trunk, that wiggly hose, And sucked up water, right to his toes! Then, feeling frisky, a giggle inside, He aimed his trunk, with nowhere to hide! A playful spray, a watery blast, Soaked a warthog running past! The monkeys shrieked with glee so loud, As Elmer sprayed a fluffy cloud! He twirled his trunk, a watery dance, At giggling zebras, taking a chance! The rhinos grumbled, then joined the fun, A watery party, for everyone! Now Elmer trumpets, a happy sound, As slippery friends leap all around! He sprays and splishes, the king of the scene, The funniest elephant, ever seen!

Upon a Table Upon a table, round and bright, With checkered cloth, a joyful sight! Sunbeams danced, a golden hue, Waiting for friends, old and new. Sharing some food, a happy sound, Laughter echoing all around. Lily brought cookies, sweet and small, Tomatoes for all, from Tim so tall. Bella shared berries, plump and red, While Leo brought the honey bread. Giggles bubbled, a joyful stream, Sharing stories, like a happy dream. They munched and crunched, a friendly crew, Each bite a treasure, fresh and true. Spilled juice was wiped with a happy sigh, Beneath the bright and sunny sky. Plates were empty, tummies full, Friendship's magic, a joyful pull. Happy Dinner, a perfect end, Friends together, till the very end!

In Secret Woods, where shadows play, And sunbeams dance the livelong day, Lived Barnaby, a dwarf so small, Whose greatest wish was gold for all! "I'll make some gold!" he cried with glee, Beneath a whispering willow tree. His beard, like moss, upon his chest, He started on his golden quest. He mixed up dew with moonbeam bright, And pixie dust in pale starlight. He stirred it with a twig of pine, A golden shimmer did entwine! He chanted spells in voices low, As fireflies began to glow. He hammered stones with tiny might, Transforming pebbles into light! He puffed and sweated, worked with zeal, His tiny hammer's mighty squeal. He dug and sifted, day and night, 'Til everything was golden bright! His little home, now overflowing, With gold that kept on growing, growing! No longer pebbles, dull and gray, Just gleaming gold to light the way! Barnaby cheered, "I did it, see! The Secret Woods are full of glee!" His dream fulfilled, his heart alight, The Secret Woods, a golden sight!

Getting in, a shiny seat, The Rocket is ready, adventure's sweet! Launchpad booms, a silver stage, Ready to fly, on a brand new page. Astronaut Ace, with helmet bright, Grips the controls with all his might. Shiny buttons, a flashing screen, This rocket ride will be a cosmic scene! 3-2-1 FIRE! A rumble deep, The rocket shudders, secrets to keep. Flames erupt in a fiery dance, Leaving the Earth for a starry chance. Up and up, through clouds so white, A zooming whoosh in the dark of night. Stars like diamonds, scattered and grand, Ace waves goodbye to the sleepy land. Past the moon, a cheesy gleam, Further we fly, in a cosmic dream. Planets spin, a vibrant hue, Into Space! A brand new view!

In forests deep, where shadows play, And moonbeams dance in a mystic way, An owl, so grand, with eyes so bright, Took silent flight in the fading light. He flew so high, a feathery friend, His journey begins, where will it end? With silent wings, he starts to soar, A hunter's grace, forevermore. Through ancient trees, he starts to roam, The forest floor, his hunting home. A rustle soft, a tiny squeak, A little mouse, about to speak! But before the mouse could utter a sound, The owl swooped low, all around. Up, up, he's gone, into the sky, His trophy with him, he waves goodbye. Back to his perch, where his family lies, Beneath the stars, in the moonlit skies. The owl sits still, no longer hunts, He starts to watch, the moon in fronts.

Falling, softly, from the sky so gray, Tiny dancers starting their ballet. In Winter's forest, crisp and cold and deep, Where sleepy trees their secrets softly keep. Flakes are swirling, a powdery white, Twirling and dipping in the fading light. They tickle the branches, bare and brown, And make not a whisper, not a single sound. Down they flutter, a feathery spree, Landing on rooftops for all to see. They kiss the noses of playful squirrels so bold, And paint the forest in stories to be told. They leap and they twirl in a whimsical way, Dancing with breezes all through the day. Faster and faster, a glittering swirl, Making the forest a magical girl. From sleepy brown earth to the sky so vast, The snowflake dance is building up fast! Piling and drifting, a blanket so grand, Covering the forest, a magical land. Now the forest sleeps, quiet and deep, Under a blanket where winter dreams sleep. The snowflake dance is finally done, A shimmering, sparkling, winter wonderland spun!

Swimming, way out in the deep blue sea, Where sunlight dances, wild and free, Live mighty Whales, so grand and bold, A story of their travels must be told! Upon the Shore, the sand so white, Waves crash gently, day and night, Seagulls squawk, a joyful sound, As watery wonders all around, The Whales arrive, with booming song, Their massive bodies, sleek and strong, They move with grace, a watery dance, A playful show, a joyful chance! They spout up high, a misty spray, The children laugh and shout, "Hooray!" They leap and splash, a thrilling sight, Filling the ocean with pure delight! Through coral castles, they softly glide, Where fishes shimmer, side by side, They chase the krill, a tasty treat, A grand adventure, oh so sweet! As evening falls, the stars appear, The ocean whispers, soft and clear, The Whales find rest in Peaceful Water, Dreaming sweet dreams, like sleeping daughter.

Shining bright, a brand new day, In fields of green where sunbeams play! The Sun, a giggle in the sky, Woke sleepy flowers, passing by. He stretched his rays, a golden hand, Across the rolling, grassy land. He kissed the dew, a sparkling treat, And tickled toes upon bare feet. The wind he whispered, soft and low, "It's time to wake, and watch things grow!" The grass stood taller, inch by inch, A ladybug upon a finch. The butterflies, with wings so bright, Danced in the sun, a lovely sight. From tiny seed to bloom so grand, The flowers stretched across the land. A buzzing bee, with pollen dust, A happy life, in nature's trust. The Sunbeams warmed, the breeze so sweet, A perfect day, can't be beat! In fields of gold, where dreams reside, A perfect life, side by side.

Sneaky shadows, moonbeams bright, In a bedroom, dark as night. Toy cars scattered, books askew, A monster hid, with eyes of blue! Barnaby the Monster, fluffy and green, A tickle attack, his sneaky scene. Little Timmy, fast asleep, Dreaming dreams, both wide and deep. Barnaby crept, on silent paws, Ignoring all the bedroom laws. He wiggled a whisker, soft and sly, A tickle monster, reaching high! He tickled Timmy's tiny toes, Then up his tummy, goodness knows! He tickled his chin, and tickled his hair, A tickle tornado, filling the air! Timmy woke up with a mighty squeal, "Stop it, Barnaby! How you feel!" He giggled and squirmed, he laughed and he cried, As Barnaby tickled, side by side! The laughter bounced, around the room, Chasing away the midnight gloom. Silly Monster, fluffy and green, Tickle battles, a joyful scene! Until they both, collapsed in a heap, Of giggles and snorts, so tired, so deep. The monster and Timmy, best friends so true, Crazy laughter, for me and for you!
