Poem of the Day

Banananananananana

I thought I'd win the spelling bee

And get right to the top,

But I started to spell “banana”,

And I didn't know when to stop.

~~William Cole

For Laughing Out Loud: Poems to Tickle Your Funnybone

Poem of the Day

April Rain Song

Let the rain kiss you,

Let the rain beat upon your head with liquid silver drops.

Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.

The rain makes running pools in the gutter.

The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night--

And I love the rain.

--Langston Hughes

The Dream Keeper and Other Poems

Poem of the Day

A Poem is a Little Path

A poem is a little path
That leads you through the trees.
It takes you to the cliffs and shores
To anywhere you please.

Follow it and trust your way
With mind and heart as one,
And when the journey's over,
You'll find you've just begin

~Charles Ghigna

Poem of the Day

Keep a Poem in Your Pocket
~Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.

The little poem will sing to you
the little picture bring to you
a dozen dreams to dance to you
at night when you're in bed.

So--

Keep a picture in your pocket
and a poem in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.
