Cute alphabet ditty--this would make for a charming poster and could be put to a jaunty tune for children to chant. My favorite is the fun stuff--I'm off to the movies!

You give great advice in your poem. Your opening line about listening to God draws the reader in and holds her there. This is a good poem to be posted on a wall where it can remind people how to manage life. Excellent ABC poem.

Good

This is a very cute and simple poem with such great and basic meaning in life. I feel like this should be taught in all primary schools!

Well said and well written. Great rhyming too.

I really enjoyed this cute little poem!

Well done.

This is very sweet. Yes we should always be kind and thoughtful when you speak to God and He wants us to be kind to everyone. Even people who are mean to us and a lot of people can't stand the ederly and that is so unfair. If you make them repeat they hate it as though they will never get old but their time is coming. Good work

Thanks! Do you know anything about writing a poem for a child? I want to participate in the child rhyming contest. I know how to write a poem to a child and for a child.

reply by Eunice Amero on 10-Sep-2021

Will you share it with me?

reply by the author on 10-Sep-2021

You mean the poem Dolly and I? Is that a poem for a child?

reply by Eunice Amero on 10-Sep-2021

Well I think so. IT's about a little girl. Good luck. If you need my help just write

reply by Eunice Amero on 10-Sep-2021

Here it is.




It doesn't matter if Dolly has a leg or arm a missin'

I still love her very much. Her eyes seem to glisten.

And though I may be crippled too, my dolly needs to listen.


Each time I'm down and feeling blue it's then we need some kissin'.

Then when I kneel to pray each night, she then kneels down beside me.


We close our eyes; I hold her tight and ask the Lord to guide me.


Though Dolly is a real good friend, my God is even better


For He'll keep me and Dolly both to be close friends forever.

Hi Pookietoo,

A very sweet poem that incorporates all the loving actions that should be a given, but can unfortunately be missing these days! Who would have thought these simple things to follow would be missing from many parent's playbook these days?

Your cute picture of the ABC's with eyes peering at us as we read, adds much to your poem.

Good luck!

This contains a lot of wisdom, expressed simply and thoughtfully. The last line is quite different but it is included because it brings thoughts of relaxation, leisure and fun all of which are necessary to a balanced life, along with the spiritual and social guidance. Well done.

Hi, do you know what it means to write a poem for a child? It says that in the children's rhyming poem contest.

reply by Wendy G on 10-Sep-2021

Just write a poem that would be suitable for children to read and enjoy, on a theme they would like and is suitable for children and their imaginations. It should probably rhyme and have an easy to read aloud metre. You need to follow the same ABC format starting each line with a consecutive letter of the alphabet. And no hard words. Hope this will help!

Thanks, this isn't a children ABC poem, it is just a rhyming poem. I need to write a children ABC one too.
