To My Baby Nephew

in Family Poems for Kids

You're my nephew, my only man.
I can walk and hold your hand.
When I see you, I see a light.
When I see you, I hold on tight.

You're my nephew, my only man.
I can walk and hold your hand.
When I see you, I see a light.
When I see you, I hold on tight.
I would hold you and hold you all day long.
I miss you, so come back and see me long.

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!

A poem about children enjoying a snowy day.

Kids Having Fun In The Snow

in Poems for Kids

The world is spinning
round and round
while snowflakes are falling,
bound for the ground.

The world is spinning
round and round
while snowflakes are falling,
bound for the ground.

Children wait for their parents
and show they can obey.
There's the great HOORAY
as they sleigh.

They come back inside,
their faces so red.
Quickly they've spied
the hot chocolate ahead.

Yellow is beautiful
And kind.
Yellow tastes sour down my throat.
It feels like the warmth of the sky.
Yellow sounds like kids laughing down the street.
It feels like warmth upon my head.
Yellow looks like a big circle in the sky.
It makes me smile and play.
Yellow is my favorite color.

Bed In Summer
- By Robert Louis Stevenson
Famous Poem

Most children have an early bedtime. In the winter it’s not a problem for them to fall asleep, because it gets dark early, but summer makes it difficult. With more daylight, children long to be able to play until the sun dips far below the horizon.

in Famous Children Poems

In Winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle light.
In Summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.

In Winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle light.
In Summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

Poem About Being Guided By The Moonlight

in Nature Poems for Kids

I walk around the streets at night.

To find my way back home.

I walk around the streets at night.
I look around and see the light,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

I walk under the moonlight
That shines out of the light.
I was surrounded by the mysterious dark
And couldn't hear the dogs bark.

I follow the moonlight
That shines bright,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

I have a little sister.
She bothers me a lot.
When we get in trouble,
She laughs and never gets caught.

When I have friends over,
She bothers him or her.
Then she runs out laughing,
Thinking she's an emperor.

When I am mad at her,
You can hear me scream for a mile.
But when she is nice to me,
You will see me smile!

Poem About Getting Homework Done

I've told you once, mom's told you twice.

I've told you once, mom's told you twice.
Forgetting homework just isn't nice.
Homework is like getting dressed;
got to do it to be your best.
You say it isn't fair,
but people do it everywhere.
Do it now, get it done.
I know, I know it isn't fun.
Homework is like cleaning your room,
except you don't have to use a broom.
Do it now; we'll give you a treat,
something tasty good to eat.
We're like parrots repeating stuff,
like our brains have turned to fluff.
JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK NOW!

Peace And Quiet
- By Nadya Phillips
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2014 with permission of the Author.
This is a poem about peace and what it is like to have peace! In 5th grade, my teacher, Ms. Gray, was teaching a lesson on different types of poems. One of our tasks was to write our own poem. I wrote this poem in a way I would think of it, although life would be great just sitting on a porch relaxing.

Poem About Enjoying Time Outside

in Nature Poems for Kids

Peace is...
When you are outside on a nice warm day
With a cold glass of yellow lemonade.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.

Peace is...
When you are outside on a nice warm day
With a cold glass of yellow lemonade.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Feeling the warm sun on my back,
Rubbing my hands through the wet green grass,
Listening to the birds singing a distance away.
Quiet...
Now that's PEACE!

Three Little Piggies

- 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!

On A Rainy Day
- By Suhaani C. Malik
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2018 with permission of the Author.
I usually hate when the months of rain come because the rain always reminds me of doom and gloom...but when I'm happy, I feel like thinking of everything happy, and so I composed a poem when I was happy and now I love rain as much as any other season!

Happy Feelings In The Rain

in Poems by Kids

A freezing cold breeze,
Just swept my face.
Excited I went,
To seize my "RAIN CASE"

A freezing cold breeze,
Just swept my face.
Excited I went,
To seize my "RAIN CASE"

I put on my coat,
And gumboots on my feet.
I put my hat and my gloves,
And hopped on out to the street.

The thunder was roaring,
The lightening so bright.
It sounded a bit creepy,
But the rain was actually light.

The black clouds were soaring,
High, high above.
But, on a rainy day...

Jumping in puddles is all that I love!!!

This poem is written while thinking myself as a kid. I'm lying on sand and looking at partial cloudy sky...so this comes to my mind.

Poem About Wanting To Be A Cloud

in Nature Poems for Kids

Clouds
I wish I were a cloud.
I could scream so loud.
Every day I would be of different shape,

Clouds
I wish I were a cloud.
I could scream so loud.
Every day I would be of different shape,
once a greedy fox, then a sour grape.
Sprinkling water would be so much fun.
Scolding, yelling, there would be none.
Playing with stars and moon,
hiding the sun at noon.
I wish I were a cloud.
Blue sky all around.

Theme In Yellow
- By Carl Sandburg
Famous Poem

Carl Sandburg was an American poet who lived from 1878-1967. This poem captures the beauty and fun of fall from the perspective of a pumpkin. Halloween can be a spooky holiday, but this poem brings attention to the harmless activity of searching for the right pumpkin with children and then carving a funny face on it for Halloween night.

in Famous Children Poems

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o’-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.
