The Accidental Poem

~by Simyana

The Bumbled Bee

~by Simyana

The Sloth

~by Simyana and Granny

The slow sloth slimmered snickily

Over the brickly brothing branch

It peered nose up and sniffed the air

Slammed against a sticky snare

“What,” It asked, “is that?”

The Deer Poem

~by Simyana and Granny

The dancing deer daintily doffed

her darling dress

She danced for Moonlight

Who watched her dainty moves

and made lunar noises

So, the jungle animals could not snore.

The Woodpecker

~by Simyana and Granny

Bunny

~by Simyana and Granny

Panda

~by Simyana and Granny

The Panda bear (so panda-wick)

Was named Bunny.

Once he met a bunny, so funny,

That he rolled on his side and laughed so hard

Bunny (the panda-wick) couldn’t get up.

Monkey

~by Simyana and Granny

There was a little boy on a porch with his snack.

On the tree a monkey studied carefully his plate of cookies.

The monkey thought loudly, “That would be good.”

And swung deftly down the branch and landed PLOP on the boy’s head.

The boy looked up and saw on his head a monkey upside down.

He smiled and said, “Here, have a cookie.”

And soon they were friends.

Armadillo

~by Simyana and Granny

The armadillo has 4 legs and amour.

Even if a lion attacks,

It remains strong and continues slowly to amble along.

When problems rise against you in life

And you weakly amble along.

Remember that God is invisible armour,

Steady, ready, strong.

The ambling armadillo; a good reminder.

Thanks God.

Noah’s Ark

~by Simyana and Granny

Mama and papa animals went into the ark

The kangaroos were not from a zoo

They carried babies in pockets; two by two.

The doggies barked, rounding up sheep.

Penguins in tuxedo’s, bats wore capes,

Noah stood and gazed at the animal parade.

He bent over and laughed at God’s funny display.

A Zebra Haiku

~by Simyana and Granny

Black, white, up and down,

Sounds like a kazoo.

Horsey, pony, donkey, who?

Skunk

~by Simyana and Granny

There was a skunk named Sticky

Who lived under my house

One dark night while we all slept

We awoke with such a bad smell

Baby cried, “WAAAAA!”

Brother yelled, “Dad!”

Sister looked sad,

And mother went mad!

Everyone together cried,

“It’s Sticky!”

Field Mouse

~by Simyana and Granny

I once saw a field mouse

Fat and fast

Roly-poly in a knoll

Tumbled off into the grass

Whiskers lying down.

Giraffe

~by Simyana and Granny

 ( Simmy’s 6-year old cousin, Quintin, felt this poem was exceptional!)

Jiggy the Giraffe jumped high

In his jiggling jumpers

His long neck and bambling legs jammed the streets

With giraffe spots

Hopped up on to a cloud

Down, down he fell into his giraffe home.

Fly!!??!!

~by Simyana and Granny

Monkey: “Simyana is such a poet. She will soon have a shelf full of her poetry books. Do you think Granny will be writing with her?”

Sloth: “Na, Granny is fun, but I think Simmy will do just fine on her own.”

“Simmy, don’t worry. Me and Brownie are keeping shelves for all your new poetry additions. Keep up the good work.”

Look for more poems, by new author; Simyana!
