41. My Bed Is A Boat

Famous Poem
- By Robert Louis Stevenson
in Famous Children Poems

My bed is like a little boat;
Nurse helps me in when I embark;
She girds me in my sailor's coat
And starts me in the dark.

My bed is like a little boat;
Nurse helps me in when I embark;
She girds me in my sailor's coat
And starts me in the dark.

At night, I go on board and say
Good night to all my friends on shore;
I shut my eyes and sail away
And see and hear no more.

And sometimes things to bed I take,
As prudent sailors have to do;
Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
Perhaps a toy or two.

All night across the dark we steer;
But when the day returns at last,
Safe in my room, beside the pier,
I find my vessel fast.

42. Fossils
- By Colin West
- Published: September 2021
Dino Dilemma: Deciphering The Colors Of Ancient Animals

in Poems for Kids

O, its bones may be colossal,
But the trouble with a fossil
Is that it doesn’t give a clue
As to the creature’s actual hue.

O, its bones may be colossal,
But the trouble with a fossil
Is that it doesn’t give a clue
As to the creature’s actual hue.

Those Pterodactyl things that flew,
Were they red or green or blue?
And that Brontosaurus fellow,
Did he come in mauve and yellow?

As for those Stegosaurus types,
Maybe they had snazzy stripes?
And was Tyrannosaurus Rex
Perhaps adorned with spots or checks?

And was old Archaeopteryx
Just one colour, or a mix?
And Woolly Mammoth, what d’you think,
Purple, puce or shocking pink?

43. The Star

Famous Poem
- By Jane Taylor
in Famous Children Poems

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see where to go
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

44. If Clouds Were Made Of Candyfloss
- By Julie Anna Douglas
- Published: October 2021
in Poems for Kids

If clouds were made of candyfloss.
If honey filled the seven seas.
If sand was made of sherbet.
If cupcakes grew on every tree.

If clouds were made of candyfloss.
If honey filled the seven seas.
If sand was made of sherbet.
If cupcakes grew on every tree.
If mountains were made of marshmallows.
If fudge flowers grew wild and free.
If all houses were made of chocolate.
What a sweet world it would be.

45. A Spider's Skill
- By Angela Jelf
- Published: July 2022
in Animal Poems for Kids

How doth the little spider be,
A Master of Geometry?
Oh tell me, tell me, if you know,
Where did she learn to weave quite so?

How doth the little spider be,
A Master of Geometry?
Oh tell me, tell me, if you know,
Where did she learn to weave quite so?
Please tell me little Spider friend,
How many hours did you spend
Creating such a sight to see,
Such skillful lines of symmetry?
Concentric frame,
Installed at night,
A work of art,
By morning light!

46. Five Little Ducklings
- By Bettina Van Vaerenbergh
- Published: July 2022
Cute Poem About Observing Animals In Nature

in Animal Poems for Kids

Five little ducklings in a row, oh how neat!
Paddling in the water with their tiny duckling feet.
Close to mother duck they always, always stay,
Just in case some danger or other comes their way.

Five little ducklings in a row, oh how neat!
Paddling in the water with their tiny duckling feet.
Close to mother duck they always, always stay,
Just in case some danger or other comes their way.
They're quack-quacking with tiny duckling beaks
That shut only whenever mother speaks.
And sometimes you can see, it's true, I swear,
How ten little feet suddenly go up in the air!
The ducklings go split, splat, quack, quack,
Diving and munching happily on a yummy snack.
Once in a while, when they expect it the least,
They find a piece of bread, and they have a feast!
With their bellies full, well done is the day’s task…
What more could little ducklings ask?
The sun goes down, it's high time now to sleep
Under mother's safe wings on the river so deep,
Because tomorrow there's a brand new day -
For diving and snacking and quack-quacking away!

47. Seasons
- By Hosseini
- Published: February 2023
Poem About The Seasons Of The Year

in Poems by Kids

Super Spring starts off the year
Glistening, shimmering, thundering rain
But warmth comes out, once again.

Super Spring starts off the year
Glistening, shimmering, thundering rain
But warmth comes out, once again.

Sizzling Summer continues the year
Burning, blinding, sweltering sun
So let's have some fun!

Awesome Autumn is back again.
Crunching, sliding, tumbling leaves
Perfect for us, but not for the trees!

Wonderful Winter ends the year
Freezing, falling, beautiful snow
As coldness flows.

48. Teacher's Torture
- By Mary Green
- Published: July 2022
Math Poem

in Poems for Kids

Add two times twenty-two,
To twelve and twenty more,
Take forty-five from fifty-five,
Add four by forty-four.

Add two times twenty-two,
To twelve and twenty more,
Take forty-five from fifty-five,
Add four by forty-four.

Add six and six to sixteen,
To eighteen by eleven,
To nine and nine and ninety-nine,
Add nine from ninety-seven.

Add thirty-three and thirteen,
Take seven from twenty-four,
Add seventy-seven to sixty-six,
And total up your score.

You can count them on your fingers,
You can count them on your toes,
You can count them out with counters,
You can count them out in rows.

And when you’ve got the answer,
When you’re sure, and only then –
You can add another hundred
And count them all again!

49. To Catch A Poem
- By Santhini Govindan
- Published: March 2022
in Poems for Kids

I want to catch a poem,
But I’m not sure how.
I wish I knew when and where,
I could catch a poem right now.

I want to catch a poem,
But I’m not sure how.
I wish I knew when and where,
I could catch a poem right now.

Can I catch a poem in the sand on a beach?
Or hiding in fields of long, green grass?
Can I catch a poem among the waves in the sea?
I’m not sure where I can catch a poem, alas!

Will I be able to catch a poem with a loop of rope?
Can I use the rope to lasso, and bind the poem up tight?
Will I be able to catch a poem with a butterfly net?
Will the net stop the poem from slipping out of sight?

Can I catch a poem when I’m playing outdoors?
Or can I catch a poem from right under my bed?
Oh gosh! As I thought about where I could catch a poem;
I actually caught one – it was right inside my head!!

“To Catch a Poem” was first published in March 2022 by Ukiyoto Publishing in the book titled To Catch a Poem by Santhini Govindan. The book can be bought on Amazon or from the Ukiyoto bookstore.

50. Sailing The Swings
- By Elizabeth Steinglass
- Published: December 2021
in Poems for Kids

Arrgh! I’m a pirate.
I sail salty seas,

searching for ships,

Arrgh! I’m a pirate.
I sail salty seas,

searching for ships,
at the whim of the breeze.

I ride rolling waves
up and down, night and day.

I head for the clouds.
I plunge through the spray.

Me, and my parrot,
every soul I command,

we rise and we fall
until we hit land.

Riddle Poem

in Poems for Kids

I am in speak but not in tell,
I am in whisper but not in yell,
I am in peel but not in bell,
And you’ll find me in spin as well as spell.

I am in speak but not in tell,
I am in whisper but not in yell,
I am in peel but not in bell,
And you’ll find me in spin as well as spell.

I am in loyal but not in true,
I am in gold but not in blue,
I am in hold but not in glue,
I am in know but not in knew.

I am in haste but not in soon,
I am in space but not in room,
I am in shine but not in moon,
I am in flower but not in bloom.

My last is in mighty but not yet great,
You’ll find me in Molly but not in Kate,
I’m never in yak and never in you,
But always in rhyme and poem too.

A version of this was first published in "The Universal Vacuum Cleaner and Other Riddle Poems" compiled by John Foster, Illustrated by Tony Ross, Oxford University Press (2005)
