Light At Night
- By Mohammad Malik
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2017 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this poem because I always loved watching the bright moon shining at night.

Poem About Being Guided By The Moonlight

in Nature Poems for Kids

I walk around the streets at night.
I look around and see the light,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

I walk around the streets at night.
I look around and see the light,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

I walk under the moonlight
That shines out of the light.
I was surrounded by the mysterious dark
And couldn't hear the dogs bark.

I follow the moonlight
That shines bright,
The light that gives me hope
To find my way back home.

Follow The Moon
- By Marie Tully
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2009 with permission of the Author.
Just thinking about when I was younger and tried to hide from the moon.

in Nature Poems for Kids

I followed the moon,
Or did it follow me?
I turned a corner;
It was still there, you see.

I followed the moon,
Or did it follow me?
I turned a corner;
It was still there, you see.

I tried to trick it.
In the shadows I hid,
But the moon kept on watching.
That's what it did.

A cloud passed before it.
Now was my chance,
But the stars in the sky
Never could lie.

I walked on through the night.
The moon followed me home,
Or did I follow the moon?
I don't quite know.

I am a mother and grandmother. I enjoy outdoor activities when all of the grandchildren come over to visit.

School's Out For Summer

in Poems for Kids

The children on the block
Are playing with chalk.
Bubbles are flying around,
Popping when they hit the ground.

The children on the block
Are playing with chalk.
Bubbles are flying around,
Popping when they hit the ground.
Giggles and wiggles in the pool,
The kids are taking a break from school,
Staying cool.
Everyone is having fun
In the sun.

The Centipede
- By May Fenn
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.
As an infant teacher, I would compose educational but funny poems for the young children to recite at assembly.

in Funny Poems for Kids

I'm glad I'm not a real boy
With proper feet like you.
Imagine if I had to put
A foot in every shoe.

I'm glad I'm not a real boy
With proper feet like you.

To go to bed at night.

"Do Your Homework Now" is a persuasive poem for kids.

Poem About Getting Homework Done

in School Poems For Kids

I've told you once, mom's told you twice.
Forgetting homework just isn't nice.
Homework is like getting dressed;
got to do it to be your best.

I've told you once, mom's told you twice.
Forgetting homework just isn't nice.
Homework is like getting dressed;
got to do it to be your best.
You say it isn't fair,
but people do it everywhere.
Do it now, get it done.
I know, I know it isn't fun.
Homework is like cleaning your room,
except you don't have to use a broom.
Do it now; we'll give you a treat,
something tasty good to eat.
We're like parrots repeating stuff,
like our brains have turned to fluff.
JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK NOW!

Granddad's Got Hair
- By Graham Craven
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2018 with permission of the Author.
I started to lose my hair when I was just nineteen, which made me feel like I was losing my locks, my looks, and my manhood. Having children though made me realize that it didn't matter if I was bald, had spots, or anything worse. Love is unconditional, and my children loved me for who I was and not what I looked like. As a granddad now well into my 50s, I can confirm that it's what's on the inside that matters, and I'm perfectly happy not having to comb my hair.

Growing Old And Going Bald

in Funny Poems for Kids

Granddad's got hair on his fingers,
Hair on his toes,
Hair in his ears,
Hair up his nose.

Granddad's got hair on his fingers,
Hair on his toes,
Hair in his ears,
Hair up his nose.
His chest has got more hair than a coarse front door mat.
His back has got more hair than next door's tom cat.

Granddad's head is silky and smooth,
Not a solitary bristle.
Smooth as a baby's bum,
Clean as a whistle.
Some say a snooker ball has got more hair,
But his beard hides a smile that says, "I just don't care."

A Riddle

Famous Poem

Children enjoy the playful nature of words. They like to figure out riddles and laugh at jokes. Are you able to use the clues in this poem to figure out the riddle?

in Famous Children Poems

There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there's one that has an eye without a head.
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,

There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there's one that has an eye without a head.
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,
Half the answer hangs upon a thread.

Good Dreams
- By Olga Matushkina
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
Hi all. I am a children's book illustrator from Russia. I happen to have my first book published in the US. I also write short children's stories and poems, but I don't really show them to people because I don't know if they are any good. The poem "Good Dreams" is actually a part of my own picture book about a tiny bear called Snowflake who wants to know where the good dreams live. This picture book is not published. I wrote it mostly for myself just because I like it.

in Poems for Kids

Knock, knock! Hush, hush.
Good dreams quietly march.
Like the fairies, they bring stories and tales,
And they sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

Knock, knock! Hush, hush.
Good dreams quietly march.
Like the fairies, they bring stories and tales,
And they sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

They dance, they jump,
They play the drum,
But when someone in a house wakes up -
The good dreams end up their fun.

They say, "Good day!" and go away.
But when we sleep, they start again,
Tell their stories, play, and march
And sing their song: "Bala-boo, bala-bash."

And you can't be replaced.
You're always in my heart,
And that can't be erased.

A Guilty Angel

I know that a sister is for life and that you should love them know matter what, and I do, but sometimes they can really get on your nerves. Especially if they are younger than you. I am saying what I think about my little sisters and what they are to me.

Little Sisters

in Poems by Kids

My little sister really winds me up.
She made me smash my mum's best cup.
And every time she kicks my chair,
I really wish she wasn't there.

My little sister really winds me up.
She made me smash my mum's best cup.
And every time she kicks my chair,
I really wish she wasn't there.
My sister drives me up the wall.
She recons that she's really cool.
And every night when we have our tea,
she kicks me hard right in the knee.
But when I tell mum, my sister will say,
"I DIDN'T DO THAT; I WAS TRYING TO PLAY!"

She keeps stealing my paint

A jelly I ate,
The one my sister made.
Made me want to faint.
She keeps stealing my paint
And waking me up late.
Bossing me around
Is what I can't take.
I want to slap her,
For goodness sake.
Spending my money
Is not great.
Can't she stop
For just one day?
No!
Is what I want to say,
But if I do
She'll smack me
Straight away.
I wish I could call her a...
Something that shall not be named,
But we're still sisters,
Even today,
Because of our
DNA.

I have a little sister.
She bothers me a lot.
When we get in trouble,
She laughs and never gets caught.

When I have friends over,
She bothers him or her.
Then she runs out laughing,
Thinking she's an emperor.

When I am mad at her,
You can hear me scream for a mile.
But when she is nice to me,
You will see me smile!

This is a poem about my three little guinea pigs whom I love and care for every day.

in Animal Poems for Kids

I have three piggies who live in the shed.
They sleep in their food bowl and eat in their bed.
They drink lots of water, which makes them go wee.
This usually happens while they are sitting on my knee!

This poem is written while thinking myself as a kid. I'm lying on sand and looking at partial cloudy sky...so this comes to my mind.

Poem About Wanting To Be A Cloud

in Nature Poems for Kids

Clouds
I wish I were a cloud.
I could scream so loud.
Every day I would be of different shape,

Clouds
I wish I were a cloud.
I could scream so loud.
Every day I would be of different shape,
once a greedy fox, then a sour grape.
Sprinkling water would be so much fun.
Scolding, yelling, there would be none.
Playing with stars and moon,
hiding the sun at noon.
I wish I were a cloud.
Blue sky all around.

I usually hate when the months of rain come because the rain always reminds me of doom and gloom...but when I'm happy, I feel like thinking of everything happy, and so I composed a poem when I was happy and now I love rain as much as any other season!

Happy Feelings In The Rain

in Poems by Kids

A freezing cold breeze,
Just swept my face.
Excited I went,
To seize my "RAIN CASE"

A freezing cold breeze,
Just swept my face.
Excited I went,
To seize my "RAIN CASE"

I put on my coat,
And gumboots on my feet.
I put my hat and my gloves,
And hopped on out to the street.

The thunder was roaring,
The lightening so bright.
It sounded a bit creepy,
But the rain was actually light.

The black clouds were soaring,
High, high above.
But, on a rainy day...

Jumping in puddles is all that I love!!!
