  1. 21. The Red And White Striped Lighthouse

    My poem is about a determined lighthouse. I wrote this because I used to live by the beautiful ocean.

    in Nature Poems for Kids

    The red and white striped lighthouse,
    Standing by the sea,
    As quiet as a mouse,
    Telling boats where it be.

    Against the rocks a wave crashes.
    The lighthouse just stares on.
    Suddenly some lightning flashes,
    But he's gonna stare till dawn.

    The red and white striped lighthouse,
    Standing by the sea,
    As quiet as a mouse,
    Telling boats where it be.

    He shines his light through the thick fog,
    As rain darkens the sands.
    He shines his light through all the smog.
    On the rocks he proudly stands.

    The red and white striped lighthouse,
    Standing by the sea,
    As quiet as a mouse,
    Telling boats where it be.

    The rising sun makes the ocean glisten bright.
    A couple comes out to see the astonishing sight.
    There is no need to shine, for it's no longer night,
    And the lighthouse slowly fades out its light.

    This touches my heart, because it brings back beautiful memories of all the lighthouses that I have seen in my lifetime. And the heartfelt meaning when you hear the story of the lighthouse....

    A fun who am I poem. Guess what it's about! :)

    in Funny Poems for Kids

    Who am I?
    I am a surprise
    I don't have eyes
    I'm wrapped in plastic
    I am fantastic
    I could be red
    But I'm not dead
    I could be blue
    Bluer than you
    I could be pink
    But I don't think
    Make up your mind
    I'm not hard to find
    You could find me in a Milk Bar
    Or eat me in the car
    I do not walk
    I do not talk
    But most of all I don't taste like pork
    I am not shy
    I do not cry
    I will never let out a wimpy sigh
    I find myself covered in spit
    Then fall into a bottomless pit
    Serena Williams likes my taste
    But doesn't like tomato paste
    Do not be scared of me
    All I want to be is free
    I am very nice
    I don't taste like rice
    You can't cut me into a slice
    I'm filled with sugar
    But don't think I'm a booger
    Do not fear
    I don't taste like beer
    But when I'm around everyone will cheer
    People will stop
    When they see me in the shop
    You'll buy me five times over
    Like I'm a four leaf clover
    People say I rock
    But I don't smell like a sock
    You might say I'm food
    But I'm never in a bad mood
    I might ask Sam
    Who I am
    He might say "What?"
    And tell me who I'm not.

  4. 23. Sleepy

    Sleep has always been a fascinating mystery to me. It's something I really appreciate. When I watch little children fall asleep, it's an appealing sight, so I decided to write a simple poem about it.

    in Funny Poems for Kids

    There is this funny guy I know.
    Sleepy by name and sneaky as can be.
    I never know where he comes from,
    Only that he creeps up on me.

    He is very cunning, you see.
    He often makes me feel like a fool.
    He jerks my head or slurs my speech,
    And he sometimes makes me drool.

    He can put things in a swirl
    So I can't tell which is which.
    And the stuff I don't want to let go,
    He easily takes out of my reach.

    Still, a generous guest is he,
    Always comes with a soothing balm,
    To lull my body and renew my strength
    And make my mind to be calm.

    When he leaves and where he goes,
    That is hard for me to say.
    But as rude as he is, I'm always glad
    For Sleepy's sly visit every day.

    It is a very simple poem highlighting the importance of sleep. Sleep is an integral part of human behavior. Without it, everything becomes useless. Good health can't be achieved without...

  5. 24. Today The Teacher Farted

    • By Emma Briody
    •  Published by Family Friend Poems May 2014 with the permission of the Author.

    People think teachers are not human, so I thought I would show that they are, being a teacher myself now. They don't sleep in cupboards. They have homes and families and bodily functions! Kids will appreciate the humour!

    in Funny Poems for Kids

    Today the teacher farted.
    It was an awful smell.
    It was just like a rotting egg,
    Straight from the depths of hell!

    She tried to keep it secret
    By sitting in a group.
    But it was really obvious,
    When she said, "Who did that poop?"

    She screwed her bright, red face up
    And blamed it all on Claire.
    But later when I needed help,
    The stench was round her chair!

    She avoided my eye contact
    And ticked my work in green.
    But she knew that her body smells
    Were foul and quite obscene.

    I asked her what that smell was.
    She said she'd not a clue.
    I hope to God that eggy smell
    Was fart and not a poo!

    Today the teacher farted.
    My word, what had she ate?
    I'll always remember what she did,
    And now I'm thirty eight!

  7. 25. I Love My Brother

    • By Imogen Kate Hindson
    •  Published by Family Friend Poems March 2008 with the permission of the Author.

    I wrote this about my brother for his 15th birthday.

    in Poems by Kids

    My brother is sweet,
    My brother is nice,

    When I am upset,
    I come for advice.

    He teaches me new stuff
    Almost all the time,

    And I think that
    Is really, really kind.

    I love my brother,
    And he loves me.

    Now that's the way
    It's meant to be.
