A Guilty Angel
- By Jim-Jam-F
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2012 with permission of the Author.
I know that a sister is for life and that you should love them know matter what, and I do, but sometimes they can really get on your nerves. Especially if they are younger than you. I am saying what I think about my little sisters and what they are to me.

Little Sisters

in Poems by Kids

My little sister really winds me up.
She made me smash my mum's best cup.
And every time she kicks my chair,
I really wish she wasn't there.

My little sister really winds me up.
She made me smash my mum's best cup.
And every time she kicks my chair,
I really wish she wasn't there.
My sister drives me up the wall.
She recons that she's really cool.
And every night when we have our tea,
she kicks me hard right in the knee.
But when I tell mum, my sister will say,
"I DIDN'T DO THAT; I WAS TRYING TO PLAY!"

I'd Love To Be A Fairy's Child
- By Robert Graves
Famous Poem

Robert Graves was an English poet who lived from 1895-1985. He became known as a war poet, and he published three books of poetry while on active duty during World War I. This poem was published the same year the war ended, and it can be felt that Robert Graves was writing about his desire for children to face an easier life, one that’s not filled with so much pain, suffering, and unmet needs.

in Famous Children Poems

Children born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their heart's desire:

Children born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their heart's desire:
Jingle pockets full of gold,
Marry when they're seven years old.
Every fairy child may keep
Two strong ponies and ten sheep;
All have houses, each his own,
Built of brick or granite stone;
They live on cherries, they run wild--
I'd love to be a Fairy's child.

Very nice poem. It deals with the aspirations of children. Childhood is the stage of innocence, and the present poem describes the same. It's lyrical, rhythmic and rhymed.

Friends
- By Abbie Farwell Brown
Famous Poem

Abbie Farwell Brown was an American author who lived from 1871-1927. While attending the Girls' Latin School, she created a school newspaper, The Jabberwock, which is still being published today. In the poem "Friends," Brown shares that even things in nature can be children's friends, giving them comfort whenever they fear.

in Famous Children Poems

How good to lie a little while
And look up through the tree!
The Sky is like a kind big smile
Bent sweetly over me.

How good to lie a little while
And look up through the tree!
The Sky is like a kind big smile
Bent sweetly over me.

The Sunshine flickers through the lace
Of leaves above my head,
And kisses me upon the face
Like Mother, before bed.

The Wind comes stealing o'er the grass
To whisper pretty things;
And though I cannot see him pass,
I feel his careful wings.

So many gentle Friends are near
Whom one can scarcely see,
A child should never feel a fear,
Wherever he may be.

Yip-Yip-Woof!
- By Kristin Frederick
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
I was looking through my old poetry book from 6th grade and I found this one. I remember writing it like it was just yesterday. I wrote it because I always wanted a Chihuahua and a Great Dane. It describes what having a Chihuahua would be like and what a Great Dane would be like. They are completely different dogs, and the differences are clearly shown. It shows how each dog acts and thinks about it.

Chihuahua And A Great Dane

in Animal Poems for Kids

Tiny Chihuahua,
Humongous Great Dane.
The difference between them
Is really quite plain.

Tiny Chihuahua,
Humongous Great Dane.
The difference between them
Is really quite plain.
Feisty Chihuahua
Will yap-yap and yip.
If he doesn't like you,
You may get a nip!
Gentle Great Dane
Has a powerful bite,
But never would nip you.
She's much too polite.
Great Dane finds the carpet
A fine place to nap.
Chihuahua loves curling
Right up in your lap.
Their owners would have
Some cause for dismay
If each dog behaved
In the opposite way!

Books
- By Sanya Tandon
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
This poem is very close to my heart because it's the very first time I have composed a poem on my own. This poem shows that books are the indispensable resources which help us to flourish our personality and also widen our thinking.

Best Friend With Books

in School Poems For Kids

My best friend is a book
that doesn't give me a weird look.
It is like a golden door
that takes me to the land where I have never been before.

My best friend is a book
that doesn't give me a weird look.
It is like a golden door
that takes me to the land where I have never been before.
It tells me the tales of a fairy
that take me to the land full of merry.
Some books are boring like history,
which is like a big mystery.
Books are the source of enlightenment
that vanquish darkness and fill our life with brightness.

Three Little Piggies
- By Paige
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
This is a poem about my three little guinea pigs whom I love and care for every day.

in Animal Poems for Kids

I have three piggies who live in the shed.
They sleep in their food bowl and eat in their bed.
They drink lots of water, which makes them go wee.
This usually happens while they are sitting on my knee!

Good Dreams
- By Olga Matushkina
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
Hi all. I am a children's book illustrator from Russia. I happen to have my first book published in the US. I also write short children's stories and poems, but I don't really show them to people because I don't know if they are any good. The poem "Good Dreams" is actually a part of my own picture book about a tiny bear called Snowflake who wants to know where the good dreams live. This picture book is not published. I wrote it mostly for myself just because I like it.

in Poems for Kids

Knock, knock! Hush, hush.
Good dreams quietly march.
Like the fairies, they bring stories and tales,
And they sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

Knock, knock! Hush, hush.
Good dreams quietly march.
Like the fairies, they bring stories and tales,
And they sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

They dance, they jump,
They play the drum,
But when someone in a house wakes up -
The good dreams end up their fun.

They say, "Good day!" and go away.
But when we sleep, they start again,
Tell their stories, play, and march
And sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

Eating Cookies And Drinking Hot Chocolate

in Nature Poems for Kids

If winter were a person, she would be a girl with frosty hair.
Winter would wear snow pants, snow boots, gloves, a hat, and scarf.
Winter would smell like hot chocolate and peanut butter and Hershey Kiss cookies baking in the oven.
Winter would spend the day eating cookies and drinking hot cocoa by a lake.

My poem was written to describe the joy of my best friend. He, of course, is an animal, but sometimes that's best. Animals can't talk, but they listen. I have the greatest joy when I am with him.

Black and white
Thick and furry
Fast as the wind
Always in a hurry
Couple of spots
Rub my ears
Always comes when his name he hears
Loves his ball; it's his favorite thing
What's most fun for him? Everything!
Great big tongue that licks my face
Has a crate, his very own space
Big brown eyes like moon pies
He's my friend till the very end!

Follow The Moon
- By Marie Tully
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2009 with permission of the Author.
Just thinking about when I was younger and tried to hide from the moon.

in Nature Poems for Kids

I followed the moon,
Or did it follow me?
I turned a corner;
It was still there, you see.

I followed the moon,
Or did it follow me?
I turned a corner;
It was still there, you see.

I tried to trick it.
In the shadows I hid,
But the moon kept on watching.
That's what it did.

A cloud passed before it.
Now was my chance,
But the stars in the sky
Never could lie.

I walked on through the night.
The moon followed me home,
Or did I follow the moon?
I don't quite know.
