April is Poetry Month

The Dumb Soldier
Robert Louis Stevenson

When the grass was closely mown,
Walking on the lawn alone,
In the turf a hole I found,
And hid a soldier underground.

Spring and daisies came apace;
Grasses hide my hiding place;
Grasses run like a green sea
O'er the lawn up to my knee.

My Grandma Is A Penguin

My Grandma is a penguin, she’s quite a site to see,
She’ll be very happy when, she comes to visit me!
She lives in Alaska where, her best friend is a polar bear!
She wonders why I’m SO afraid, when I visit the polar bear’s cave!
She has friends that are penguins too, she even has friends at the zoo!
When she visits she eats all our fish, and she sure eats a fishy dish!
She’s afraid of the following things: Dogs, cars, and even Rings!
She brings an umbrella wherever she goes, and she wonders when he next ice age will come!
On her head she has a pink hat, she loves snow and that’s that.
My Grandma’s name is Lori, My Grandpa is a Penguin too, but that’s another story.
