Ode To A Zebra
- By Robynne Meulemans
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2017 with permission of the Author.
I am a free-spirited artist with a passion for animals and nature.

in Nature Poems for Kids

I'm a stunning display of black and white,
Contrasting stripes to captivate sight.

My mane stands up straight and proud.

I'm a stunning display of black and white,
Contrasting stripes to captivate sight.

My mane stands up straight and proud.
Every visual detail about me is loud.

Black with white stripes is what they say.
This matters not; I'm beautiful either way.

Never domesticated; no, not me.
I'm a zebra and I need to roam free.

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!

Yellow is my bestie's favorite color. I don't know why she likes yellow. I like purple, and yellow and purple are opposites.

Poem Describing The Color Yellow

in Poems by Kids

Yellow is beautiful
And kind.
Yellow tastes sour down my throat.
It feels like the warmth of the sky.

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.

Granddad's Got Hair
- By Graham Craven
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2018 with permission of the Author.
I started to lose my hair when I was just nineteen, which made me feel like I was losing my locks, my looks, and my manhood. Having children though made me realize that it didn't matter if I was bald, had spots, or anything worse. Love is unconditional, and my children loved me for who I was and not what I looked like. As a granddad now well into my 50s, I can confirm that it's what's on the inside that matters, and I'm perfectly happy not having to comb my hair.

Growing Old And Going Bald

in Funny Poems for Kids

Granddad's got hair on his fingers,
Hair on his toes,
Hair in his ears,
Hair up his nose.

Granddad's got hair on his fingers,
Hair on his toes,
Hair in his ears,
Hair up his nose.
His chest has got more hair than a coarse front door mat.
His back has got more hair than next door's tom cat.

Granddad's head is silky and smooth,
Not a solitary bristle.
Smooth as a baby's bum,
Clean as a whistle.
Some say a snooker ball has got more hair,
But his beard hides a smile that says, "I just don't care."

A Lifelong Companion
- By Joydip Dutt
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2018 with permission of the Author.
Children are our future. If we can encourage kids to spend time with nature, they can find a true friend in it and thus create a bond. So, naturally they will be aware of the environment and will not do anything to cause harm.

Let's Make Nature Our Friend

in Nature Poems for Kids

Have you ever chased the setting sun,
just to have fun?

Have you ever gazed at moon and stared,

Have you ever chased the setting sun,
just to have fun?

Have you ever gazed at moon and stared,
simply to admire?

Have you ever looked at canopy of leaves,
imagining them as sieves?

Have you ever noticed how the rain
glistens the golden grain?

Have you ever sung to a flower,
forgetting the passing hour?

Have you ever searched nature
for a hidden treasure?

Let's make environment a lifelong companion -
Like a true friend, it will never abandon.

Cloud

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.

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

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!"

Whenever I see your sweetest smile,
My pain and sorrow are gone for a while.

Whenever I get mad because you're so unruly,
You'll just hug me and say, "I'm sorry!"

You've got a lot of questions.
You have some wonderful visions!

My little nephew, let your imagination soar;
Let your spirit travel afar...

Spread your wings of generosity;
Open your heart to the wretched and needy!

And you'll discover the rainbow
Of hope that's within you...

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.

To go to bed at night.

A place where smiles gleam
And everyone is a team
This is my daydream
My place of joy and hope

What if water was as sticky as glue?

Oh, it would be a big mess that day,
So I guess, let it be the same way!

I die each and every night
with the coming of nightfall.

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.

their faces so red.
Quickly they've spied
the hot chocolate ahead.

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!!!
