Awakening
The
world is full of life
Things
growing
Moving Changing
Crawling Creeping
Dying
Sleeping
My senses
connect to
Blue skies Birdsong
My mother’s touch
My father’s
voice
Sand dirt
Coolness Heat
The Sun
The Moon
Trees and
their shade
Fragrance of
lilacs
Blowing
Dandelions
My new world fills me up with wonder
Flutter Bye
Butterfly
Flutter
bye
Lifting
Drifting
Through the sky
Lighting
Softly
on a flower
Changing
Moving
Hour by hour
Butterfly
Flutter
bye
Like a petal
Floating
by
Something makes
me
Wonder
why
Butterflies
Flutter
Bye
Tater Bug
Roly Poly Tater Bug
All curled up so nice and snug
With plated armor all around
You look like a little ball I’ve
found
Roly Poly Tater Bug
Are you giving yourself a hug
You stay so still without a sound
Then you uncurl and come unwound
Kitty Cat
Kitty Cat
Come and lay by me
Kitty Cat
Tell me what do you see
With your wise green eyes staring
at me
Kitty Cat
Let me feel your soft fur
Kitty Cat
Let me hear your calm purr
Kitty Cat
So gentle and true
Kitty, Kitty Cat
I really love you
Crickets Lullaby
Good night, sleep tight, the
crickets sing a lullaby
Good night, sleep tight, they
sing it low they sing it high
Good night, sleep tight, they
sing a quiet song
Good night, sleep tight, they
sing it all night long
The crickets sing a quiet tune, the
crickets sing it to the moon
Good night, sleep tight, the
crickets sing a lullaby
Goodnight, sleep tight, the
crickets sing it to the sky
Good night, sleep tight, until
the morning dew
Good night, sleep tight, may you
have sweet dreams too
Spinning Spider
Spinning, spinning spider silver
threads
Spinning in the garden on the
leaflets edge
Spinning, spinning spider can you
see
Can you see the lovely web you
spin for me
Spinning spider I like your art
Spinning spider when did you
start
Spinning spider your grand design
Spinning spider it’s very fine
Spinning, spinning spider in the
morning dew
Little silver droplets stuck like
glue
Spinning, spinning spider can you
see
Can you see the lovely web you
spin for me
Mr. Beetle Bug
Mr. Beetle bug
Where did you go
All dressed up in your tuxedo
Were you going to visit
Katydid
Were you going to ask her
If she would like to wed
Mr. Beetle bug you do look so
fine
Were you planning going out to
dine
Mr. Beetle bug don’t forget your
hat.
I hope you and Katydid have a
nice chat
Song
to a Cow
What are you doing
Staring and chewing
Chewing and chewing
Occasionally mooing
What are you thinking
Staring and blinking
Winking and blinking
Occasionally drinking
What are you doing
Chewing and Chewing
Staring and blinking
What are you thinking
Summer Fairies
My sister and I meet the fairies
on summer afternoons
Down by the pond in the enchanted
woods
By the tree that looks like an
ugly old troll
They are shy so we just catch a
glimpse of them
Out of the corner of our eye
They whisk away just out of sight
We know they are still there
We hope they will come out one
day
To join us for muffins and tea
My Horse
My horse lunges underneath me
I am free
The wind does a dance through my
hair
I am strong as thunder
Swift as the river
I fly through fields on falcon wings
My horse shines golden silk
His silver mane weaving strands
of sunlight
The poetry captures experiences I had as a child too.
