Poetry

Inspiring the imagination through words

Connected words evoking emotion

Sunlight and Snow

Draw me inside

Where sunlight and snow collide

To the trees towering high 

The scent of pine

Drifting by

Stepping into golden haze

Icy diamonds dance ablaze 

Still the soul

As silence comes alive

And the mind begins to breathe

Children's songs to make them smile

Poetry is an enjoyable way to inspire children about life's wonders. You may like to share some of our favourites with your little explorers.

Super Starfish

I'm a little starfish happy as can be
I move along the shore and the bottom of the sea
I love the sand and the sand loves me
Oh I'm a little starfish as happy as can be!

Yellow Duck

I have a yellow duck and he swims in the bath

He bobs up and down and he makes me laugh

With a quack and a flap and a cheeky grin

I lift him up and drop him back in... splash!!! 

Mountain Peak

I see a mountain and it's really high
I see a mountain and it's reaching to the sky
Look up at the mountain and what can you see?
I see a mountain looking back at me

Beautiful Butterfly

Say hello to the butterfly

Flying low and flying high

On the flowers, in the sky

Say bye bye to the butterfly

Wobbly Jellyfish

I see a jellyfish floating in the sea

It looks happy and it's smiling back at me

Wibble to the left and wobble to the right 

Oh the jellyfish is such a funny sight!

Wiggly Worm

I'm a wiggly wiggly worm
I love to wriggle and squirm
I'm pink and long so sing along
I'm a wiggly wiggly worm

Pea Pod

I’m a little pea pod swinging in the air

I have curly arms and nice green hair

When the time is right, my pod goes POP!

And you can see I’m full of peas right up to the top!

Gobble gobble!

Slow Snail

There’s a snail in the garden with his house on his back

See his slimy trail and his long shiny track

His long wiggly eyes are looking all around

He moves slowly down the path not making a sound

 

I wonder where he's going

I don't really know

But one things for sure

He's going really slow!
