Itsy Bitsy Spider

I wrote this for a friend who had a spider infestation at her work. This is the PG version....


Sing to the itsy bitsy spider song

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Came up the basement stair
Made itself a web
Under Lindsay's Chair

Out came it's eggs
And baby spiders hatched
And the little baby spiders
Climbed into Lindsay's lap...

The Toddler Series X

I love this poem, and this little boy is just such a sweet little guy. His Mom is terrific too!!

Will Will?

Sweet, darling Will will be two today.
Our brave little boy is well on his way.
To see what adventures life has in store,
Beyond the safe borders of our front door.

Will Will run the trains and fix all that matters?
Will Will be a fireman and climb the tall ladders?
Will Will be a pilot and fly the blue skies?
Will Will be a baker and make blueberry pies?

Whatever Will does, Mom and Dad will be proud
We’ll say it in quiet and we’ll SHOUT IT OUT LOUD.
Will will always be cherished and always be loved.
Will was truly a gift from the Lord up above.

Ode To Coffee

During my writing career I have written many odes to important things in my life. Somehow I have missed coffee. The one thing no matter how rotten or good or busy or slow my life, is always there to pick me up. So.....

Ode to Coffee

I used to be tired,
Now I am wired.
From a wonderful bean
That is full of caffeine.

I just love the flavour.
It's something to savour.
I should come with a warning,
If I don't get it each morning.

A slave to my master,
To its dark shiny luster.
It's best taken black,
Without sugar and crap.

So long live the java,
Served hotter than lava.
My perfect day starter,
Making life a little less harder.

The Toddler Series IX

Another one of my favorite toddler poems

The Gift of Owen

For two years we’ve had the greatest gift them of all,
One that is now close to a good three feet tall,
A gift that’s brought joy and life to this home,
That gift is Owen and this is his poem.

Happy Birthday dear son, our sweet little boy,
Today you’ll get lots of clothes, books and toys,
And as we watch you enjoy with a smile and a laugh,
We’re grateful, we were chosen to be guides on your path.

For as joyous and wonderful as life’s meant to be,
You’ll need Mom and Dad to fix a scraped knee,
Or help you when things may not be going your way,
If only to listen or help you to pray.

But for now, enjoy all your balls, cars and fish,
And play all day long, with your dogs if you wish,
Knowing Mommy and Daddy are always near by,
Watching and loving our charming young guy.

The Toddler Series VIII

The little girl that is turning two here is the prettiest little thing this side of heaven. She was born with a medical condition but you would never know she has ever seen a day of illness. In every picture her Mom posts she is shining and smiling with a light as bright as the sun.

Amazing Grace

My little Grace has just turned two,
You truly are my dream come true.
Along with sisters Hope and Faith,
You three, keep my heart in place.

Your little voice, as sweet as honey,
Your disposition, cute and sunny.
Your brown eyes filled with love and trust,
Your curls made up of angel dust.

There’s been some tough times these two years.
We’ve all shed our share of tears.
All those challenges you overcame,
You’re grace in style and Grace in name.

So grab your blanky, we’ll read a book,
And tell you how our hearts you took,
From the first day that we saw your face,
Your family loves you, amazing Grace.

Lazy Limerick

After trying to write about my dog, my dinner and dare I say it, American Idol I realized that my muse must be on holiday today. So forgive me for publishing a limerick.

Lazy Limerick

This poet is tired and sleepy,
She is weary and a little bit weepy.
So this poem’s not her best,
Just re-read the rest,
Or read into this one more deeply.

Haiku

A Haiku is a japenese poem with 17 syllables. Normally 5-7-5. I gave it a whirl with my favorite subject.

Haiku

Kaitlin sleeps soundly
Pretty eyelashes flutter
With sweet, happy dreams

Kaitlin wakes smiling.
Dusting off the night magic
Clearing it for day

Kaitlin trusts deeply
Knowing true maternal love
Basking in the warmth
