A Special Bed - Monday's Child # 40

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

I have a secret, but please don't tell

for normal beds are all very well

but mine goes to places in my dreams

on sky blue oceans and deep green seas.

It waits until I'm fast asleep

then whisks me off before I can peep

to special coves and golden sands

where it sweeps me in and softly lands.

Then all night long I'll run and play

till it's time to go, then my bed will say

come snuggle now and rest your head

 for to sail you must sleep in your special bed.

Bethany Bunny's Book - Monday's Child # 36

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

Bethany Bunny sat down to read

as a book in her hand was all that she'd need

to travel to places and faraway lands

for she knew it was magic she held in her hands.

She could ride across rainbows and swim in the seas

and sled down high mountains and climb in the trees

find unicorns, dragons and fairies and elves

and whisper gold secrets they'd keep to themselves.

Her adventures and friends would be there in her hand

to whisk her away to her own special land

and all this she'd do whilst tucked safe in her bed

as her eyes slowly closed with sweet dreams up ahead.

A Treasure Hunt - Monday's Child # 35

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

All four of them stood, eyes wide with delight

as they looked at the map where an X marked the site.

There was adventure ahead and a treasure to seek

it could take an hour, a day, or even a week!

They'd find it together, how ever long it took
for they'd search and search and they'd look and look.
Until the treasure was found and shared equally by four

an adventure and friends ... who could ask for more.

Baby Birds Birthday - Monday's Child # 33

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

Mrs. Bird was as proud as could be, 

for the cake she'd baked was ready for tea.

It was no ordinary cake, no not today

for it was Baby Birds birthday, and he was on his way!

She lit the candles, one for each year

and everyone waited to give him a cheer.

When baby bird came, they shouted as one

"Happy Birthday Baby, Happy Birthday, Have Fun!" 

Baby Bird tweeted and flapped with his wings

then opened his parcels and presents and things.

Then down they all sat, with plates ready to take

a huge scrummy portion of Mrs. Birds cake.

The Magic Tree - Monday's Child # 25

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

There was heard tell of a magic tree

that children travelled far to see

for it could help the saddest heart

and lift the spirits of those apart

It grew at the time when snow would fall

and showered love on each and all

This golden tree of years gone past

gave every child a smile to last

so as Christmastime draws ever near

and all are filled with Christmas cheer

lets make a wish that all will see

the magic of the golden tree.

Ted and Flo - Monday's Child # 21

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

The pie was baked and ready to eat

full of pumpkins, a wonderful treat.

Flo brought it out as proud as punch

to share with Ted for Thanksgiving lunch.

Ted was a turkey like no other

and she loved him dear, just like a mother.

They gave thanks together for all they had

and prayed for others whose lives were bad.

Ted was twenty nine if he was a day

the oldest turkey in the USA!

He'd watched thanksgivings come and go

eating pumpkin pie with his dear friend Flo.

Best Friends - Monday's Child # 20

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

When Harriet Mouse came round for tea

she had a cold it was plain to see.

They'd been friends for years these two little mice

and their tea times together were always so nice.

When the time finally came for goodbye to be said

Molly Mouse told her friend "Now you get right to bed!"

So dear Harriet took herself home for a rest

as Molly always knew what to do for the best.

When next tea time came Harriets snuffles were gone

and they ate and they chattered until well after one.

They had shared so much all over the years

that when Molly sneezed they giggled till tears.

It seemed only right they should share the cold too

as very best friends, well what else would they do?

The Bunny Meeting - Monday's Child # 19

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

He read aloud for them all to hear

"Our carrots will be scarce this coming year"

Miss Fluffytail wiped a tear from her eye

as without her carrots she was sure she would die!

Mr. Patches pink nose began to twitch

his dear wife so worried she began to itch.  

But Snowy was not one to panic at all

and gave a solution to suit them all.

 They'd take all their carrots that very same day

and share them between them, for that was their way.

 So this was how the bunny meeting came to an end

with carrots enough for all four special friends.

Kittens - Monday's Child # 17

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

Snuggle up darling kittens

one, two and three

and I'll tell you a story

of how things will be.

You're the luckiest kittens

that ever there were

as mummy loves you all

to the very tips of your fur.

So close those tired eyes

and drift softly to sleep

and know that I'm with you

and you safe I will keep.

My darling little kittens

one, two and three

goodnight and god bless you

I'm as proud as can be.

Hubble and Bubble - Monday's Child # 16

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

They'd hubble and bubble

and sometimes make trouble

but their potions were full of delight.

With bat wings and mice tails

and green toads and slime snails

they'd chuckle when causing a fright.

But the spells they liked most

would puff pink in the air

spreading smiles, hugs and candy

for everyone to share.

Magic - Monday's Child # 15

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

She would shrink to their size

and swim through the streams,

the magic was real

no longer her dreams.

Then up in the air

they would fly upon wings

and visit new lands

and gather sweet things.

They were all her dear friends

but the best thing of all

was that no matter how

they'd be there if she'd call.

Sisters - Monday's Child # 14

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

They'd sit together for hours and wind

Annie would hold, but she never did mind

for Suzie would make the most perfect ball

she was the oldest by two years, but that wasn't all

she'd listen to Annie, and her troubles she'd mend

for she was her big sister, and her very best friend.

Catch - Monday's Child # 13

 Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse

           Timmy and Spot watched the sky

           and stretched their arms out wide.

      They planned if a planet should ever fall

              they'd catch it and bring it inside.

         Teddy who was tucked up safe behind

         could hear what they planned to do,

     and stretched his arms out as far as he could

              for he wanted to catch one too.
