I’d like once again to share some lovely poetry by the worlds children. These poems are sweet and heartfelt which isn’t unusual when written by the pure of heart. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. The topic for today is PEOPLE.

The children are singing,

their mouths open like sleepy fish.

Our teacher conducting the class

waves her arms

like a rhyme in water.

The girls sing high:

our ears ring for the sweetness.

Listeners stand in dazzling amazement.

An empty bed

No arguments

No one to come home to

And all is dark

In day and night

I am all alone.

By David Amey, Age 10, England

My Uncle Jack collects door knobs;

Door knobs here, door knobs there

Door knobs simply everywhere;

Six on the window, twelve on the door

There’s hardly room for any more;

Door knobs on the light switch and the wall,

My Uncle Jack has got them all;

Blue ones, green ones, yellow one and red

And a row of gray ones on the bottom of his bed.
