I thought today I’d share a few samples of poetry written by children. I love good poetry, but it seems to me that the poems written by the young are much more genuine that some of the not-so-wonderful professional poets. I prefer simple and beautiful poetry like the following. The subject of these poems is SUMMER.
❣️
By Gillian Sellers, Age 9, England
Summer is golden,
Summer is green,
The freshly cut grass.
Down, down, down, we go, from the peak of the hill,
ROLLING
❣️❣️
By Margaret Bendig, Age 10, United States
Inviting rippling waters
Waiting for little toes
Hurry, go get changed!
❣️❣️❣️
By Ian Johnson, Age 9, New Zealand
Lying in the sun
In midsummer
Looking at a blue sheet
Of happiness.
Only a breath of wind
To spoil it.
❣️❣️❣️❣️
By Susan Foreman. Age 7, United States
The grass is a rug for the trees to
dance upon;
The branches of the trees are arms
Gracefully pointing to the blue-pillowed sky,
Waiting for a partner.
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
SPECIAL THANKS TO RICHARD LEWIS
I thought we should visit some children today and read some of their outstanding poetry. Many of these kids are between the ages of 4 and 13 and are from various English-speaking countries around the globe. I find their poetry extremely innocent and pure because they write what they feel without any real awareness of political correctness or the many biases that seem to be everywhere these days. Enjoy them.

THE SUNBEAMS
It’s a sunny, sunny day today,
There’s not a fluffy cloud in the sky.
The sky’s all blue in a light blue haze,
The orange sun is shining as it stalks along the sea,
And leaves a shiny golden path, for me to walk along.

TREES
The trees share their shade with
all who pass by,
But their leaves whisper secrets
only to the wind.

GOD
I wonder
how God lives
in heaven,
when the clouds
seem to be collapsing
like broken birds.

MY FEELINGS
I am fainty,
I am fizzy,
I am floppy.
