Poem of the week

How to Talk to your Snowman

Use words that are pleasing

Like: freezing

And snow,

Iceberg and igloo

And blizzard and blow,

Try: Arctic, Antarctic,

Say: shiver and shake,

But whatever you never say,

Never say: bake.

———— Beverly McLoughland.

Poem of the week

A Secret

Do you know why the pine trees

Stand so straight and tall,

Spread their branches thick and fine,

And never stoop at all?

It really is a secret

Which the North Wind told to me:

Every pine tree hopes some day

To be a Christmas tree.

————– Laura Alice Boyd

Poem of the week

In the Summer We Eat

In the summer We eat,

In the winter we don’t;

In the summer we’ll play,

In the winter we won’t.

All winter we sleep, each curled in a ball

As soon as the snowflakes start to fall.

But in spring we each come out of our den

And start to eat all over again.

———— Zhenya Gay

First Snowflake

Snowflake,

snowflake,

blowing into town

like one, last,

summer’s-end

or a cold little

in her winter nightgown.

Poem of the week

Thanksgiving

Thank You

for all my hands can hold—

apples red, and melon gold,

yellow corn

both ripe and sweet,

peas and beans

so good to eat!

Thank You

for all my eyes can see—

lovely sunlight,

field and tree,

white cloud-boats

in sea-deep sky,

soaring bird

and butterfly.

Thank You

for all my ears can hear—-

birds’ song echoing

far and near,

songs of little

stream, big sea,

cricket, bullfrog,

duck and bee!

——– Ivy O. Eastwick
