Example Poem: Cake by the Lake<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

By a little lake, sat a happy snake,
Eating a slice of frosted cake.
He heard a splash, the water did shake\u2014
Out jumped a frog with a wooden rake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Why are you here?” the snake did quake.
“This is my spot, for goodness’ sake!”
The frog just laughed, “I only came for the birthday bake!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The snake did smile, “Well, for your sake,
Here\u2019s some cake\u2013it\u2019s only a tiny flake.”
Then they laughed together by the lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Example Poem: The Moonlight Knight<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

There once was a knight who loved the night,
He\u2019d roam the woods in the silver light.
With a glowing sword so shiny and bright,
He\u2019d dance with shadows till morning\u2019s sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stars would cheer with all their might,
And the moon would giggle, a happy sprite.
\u201cDear knight,\u201d they\u2019d say, \u201cKeep spreading joy till the world feels right!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So every night, when the stars turn white,
Look for the knight in the moon\u2019s soft light!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Example Poem: The Silly Train in the Rain<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

There once was a train that loved the rain,
It zoomed through puddles on the terrain.
With a toot and a hoot, it made a refrain,
\u201cSplash and splatter! Let\u2019s ride down the lane!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ducks would cheer, the frogs would explain,
\u201cThis train\u2019s so silly and never mundane!\u201d
But the train just laughed, “I\u2019ll never complain,
This rain is my main way to entertain!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you hear tracks on their nightly refrain,
It\u2019s the silly train, splashing in the rain!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Example Poem: The Bear Who Hated Cold<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

There once was a bear who hated cold,
He wore three scarves, all striped with gold.
He\u2019d shiver and quiver, and truth be told,
He never left home when the wind did enfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day a fox, both clever and bold,
Said, \u201cCome build a snowman\u2014be brave, don\u2019t fold!\u201d
The bear stepped outside, his nerves he tried to uphold,
And found the snow fun, a sight to behold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now he plays all winter, a story retold,
The bear who learned to love the cold!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A tiny rabbit did appear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopping fast both far and near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With fluffy fur so soft and dear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It twitched its nose to better hear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It dashed ahead without a fear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the grass with all its gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A butterfly flew past its ear,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I had a dream of a mountain of cream,
With rivers of chocolate that flowed in a stream.
The sprinkles fell like a sugary gleam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I slid down scoops on a waffle cone beam,
Laughing and licking\u2014what a fun dream!
But when I woke, I gave a big scream,
“Mom, can we please get some ice cream?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A little mouse lived in a house,
Oh so small\u2013about the size of a louse.
One windy day, it lost its blouse,
Blown far away past the farmer\u2019s spouse.
But soon it was found, near a quiet grouse,
Its blouse was safe, by a bigger house!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
