I have a gazillion poems saved on my computer. As I find them I will write them on this website. I hope there are some poems here you can use. I've tried to always give credit to the writers, but if I've got a poem without an author, I'm sorry. Let me know and I will give credit where it is due. I'm not sure where I collected all these poems either. I started saving them about 15 to 20 years ago when I first got my Apple C+ computer. Have you ever tried to write poetry? Mine always sound like a kindergartener composed them! Maybe they would do a better job!
POEMS Lisa Blau
Poems are wonderful things
They tell of smiling faces
And faraway places
And birds that sing in spring
Yes, poems are wonderful things!
BUT THEN Aileen Fisher
A tooth fell out
and left a space
so big my tongue
can touch my FACE!
And every time
I smile, I show
a space where some-
thing used to grow.
I miss my tooth
as you may guess,
but then-I have to
brush one less.
