Today in Strong Colours
Today in strong colours,
I want you to welcome a visitor.
Give her
A purple wave
A bright-red smile
A round of green applause
A royal-blue handshake
A yellow hello.
Place her firmly
On the palette of our friendship.
Sue Cowling

Two Time Table
Twice one are two,
Violets white and blue.

Twice two are four,
Sunflowers at the door.

Twice tree are six,
Sweet peas on their sticks.

Twice four are eight,
Poppies at the gate.

Twice five are ten,
Pansies bloom again.

Twice six are twelve,
Pinks for those who delve.

Twice seven are fourteen,
Flowers of the runner bean.

Twice eight are sixteen,
Clinging ivy ever green.

Twice nine are ehighteen,
Purple thistle to be seen.

Twice ten are twenty,
Hollyhocks in plenty.

Twice eleven are twenty-two,
Daisies wet with morning dew.

Twice twelve are twenty-four,
Roses... who could ask for more.

The Puffin Book of Fantstic First Poems


Daddy Fell Into the Pond
Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.
We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
Wewere nearing the end of a dismal day.
And there seemed to be nothing beyond.
Then
Daddy fell into the pond!
And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
"Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!
He's crawling out of the duckweed!" Click!

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee
And doubled up, shaking silently,
And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft,
And it souded as if the old drake laughed.

Oh, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
When Daddy fell into the pond!
Alfred Noyes
