POEMS

THE LITTLE TURTLE:

There was a little turtle

he lived in a box

he swam in a puddle

he climbed on the rocks

he sanpped at a mosquito

he snapped at a flea

he sanpped at a minnow

and he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito

he caught the flea 

he caught the minnow

but he didn’t catch me.

CATERPILLAR GARDEN:

Over in the garden underneath a tree

i saw some fuzzy caterpillars.

One, two, three.

Over in the garden underneath the moon.

Each caterpillar spun herself a wonderful cocoon

Over in the garden right before my eyes.

Those caterpillars all turned into lovely butterflies.

THE UNICORN:

The unicorn with the long white horn

is beautiful and wild.

He gallops across the forest green.

So quickly that he’s seldom seen.

Where peacocks their blue feathers preen

and strawberries grow wild.

He flees the hunter and the hounds,

upon black earth his white hoof pounds

and comes to a meadow mild;

there, when he kneels to take his nap,

he lays his head in a lady’s lap

as gently as a child.

I LIKE:

I like sunshine

i like snow

i like brownleaves

when they blow.

I like cookies

i like cake

i like waffles

when i wake.

I like collies

i like cats

i like clowns

im funny hats

i like baseball

i like trains

i like sleeping

when it rains.
