The Poetry Contest Welcomes NEW Poems

My Seasons

I don´t have any reasons,
but my poem is about the seasons.
In Spring, you can read a book
about the story of Captain Cook.
In Summer, you can smell the flowers
but I don´t like cauliflowers.
In Autumn, the trees are sad
and I think that is so bad.
In Winter I make a snowman
and I say bye, bye to him with my hand.

BLANCA

Its name is Blanca.
It has got black nose and eyes.
It´s white like its name
beautiful like the snow
and sweeter than milk.
It likes to eat, sleep
and play with its ball.
I´ll love it forever.
What is it?

                                                         I Love my Kitchen

                                                         I cook the chicken
                                                         But my food is frozen
                                                         All is for my kitten
                                                         And my nice dog Ben
                                                         He likes most men
                                                         Who live in a den

                                                                  My Mum

                                                           My mum is beautiful,
                                                           my mum is strong.
                                                           My cat Lisa and my grandfather:
                                                           in the kitchen, in the garage.
                                                           My house, my table, my baby
                                                           Bye, bye.

                                                                    I've got a mouse
                                                                    living in my house.
                                                                    I've got a cat
                                                                    who's got a hat
                                                                    and a little kitten
                                                                    who lives in my kitchen.

In your school bag

In your school bag
There is a cat
Inside a cat, there are ants.
Ants eat plants.
And plants...What?
Plants eat ants.
Inside the ants, there´s a cat
And a cat is in your school bag.

The Kangaroo´s Courtship



"Oh will you be my wallaby?"
Asked Mr. Kangaroo.
"For we could find so very many
Jumping things to do.
I have a pocket two feet wide
And deep inside,
My dear, you´d ride...
Oh, come and be my bouncing bride,
My Valentine, my side by side.

By Jane Yolen

Love is like a Cabbage

Love is like a cabbage
Divided into two,
The leaves I give to others,
The heart I give to you.

Australia's Kookaburra Bird

The kookaburra song

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laughs kookaburra
Gay your life must be.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Stop kookaburra, stop kookaburra
Leave some there for me!
