childrens poetry

Nostalgia-inducing poetry inspired by our earliest favorites; from Dr. Seuss to Mother Goose, children’s poetry is all grown up.

Alliteration

The Farmer, the Tortoise, and the Dog
Sometime in the distant past, there was a starvation in the place that is known for the creatures in light of the fact that the dry season had expanded more than expected. There was no downpour in the land and each creature was looking rather slim and unfortunate on the grounds that extremely restricted food was accessible. Nonetheless, the turtle saw that his companion, the canine was looking extremely new and sound. He considered what the mystery of the canine's prosperity was and settled to find out.

Cosmic Face Paint Rendezvous

Allhallows Eve
My entry into 'The Spooky Season Challenge' by Sheree Crawford - a VSS community challenge. Leaves crunch underfoot As shoes dash from door to door Nervous excitement fills the air Buckets filled with sweets galore A crisp chill weighs heavy in the air Autumn's in full swing As Halloween entices children And all the excitement it will bring Jump scares catch them in their rush To reach the next home participating In their costumes and their make-up Ghosts and goblins they are faking A night full of the macabre Celebrated in the streets Children dressed as monsters To be encouraged on by sweets To participate you must embrace The sinister and the scary The late-night campfire stories That leave you feeling wary The only night when children seek The dark and the obscene Fake bloodied bones and entrails The grotesque and the unclean It's all done in good spirits On the sacred Allhallows Eve Whilst neighbours in competition Pull tricks out from up their sleeves The atmosphere is rife with joy As children race along with tired feet Parents trail along behind them Hoping tonight they'll surely sleep As memories are slowly etched Into their souls forever For when they were young and innocent They went hunting ghouls together.
