From our Poetry Club!

We have a small poetry filled with young writers (all under the age of 12). Sometimes they ask for help, and we give it. But most of the older ones work independently and know what they want to write. We are really proud of these young writers!
Here are some examples of their recent poems…

My Little Pig by Lilly E.W.
I have a little pig
The cleanest little pig
He never goes outside
For he frets
getting wet
I try to put some sense
in my little, little pig…
“Getting dirty is okay, go outside and play!”
He never ever listens
I love him anyway!

MY PET CHICK by Zoe E.
I have a baby chick
It’s name is Steve Hick
I think I want more
‘Cause they’re sweet to the core!

Things I want to do this Summer by Casey E.
Go to the zoo
Play in the pool
Visit the beach
Vacation Bible School
Go to my Grandma’s
Go on vacation
Pick veggies from the garden
Celebrate our nation
Sleep late, watch cartoons
Play outside with friends
Fish, hike, camp, read
Until the summer ends!
Wonderful poems. I enjoyed reading them. I hope the kids had fun with the writing. If the kids want another place to publish their poems, children’s poet David Harrison has a page for kids on his blog.
Ooooh! I follow him, too! I’ll definitely suggest it. Thank you for stopping by and encouraging them!
Donna,
This is a wonderful service for your community and especially for the kids who attend. I’m so proud of you. Please tell your poets that reading their poetry is fun, even for us grownups. Thanks for being you!
I will pass your sweet words along to them. Thank you, Linda!
Cute poems! Isn’t it fun to teach and see what develops? Write on!
YES! I enjoy seeing them create. It inspires me, too!
Donna, Kudos to you for doing this. What an awesome lady you are. But I must also give accolades to those kids for writing poetry & putting it out there. Writing is rhyme is NOT easy! Give them all a pat on the back from me!
I will def give ’em a pat for you! π Thank you for stopping in!
Love it!! I’m glad you’re giving them an outlet for their creativity! π
They are fantastic youngin’s! Great little poets, too. π
Wonderful stuff! My sixth grade grand daughter is a poet, also. Isn’t it fun to play around with words, kids?
