Poems for Children
Me, Myself and I

Poems for Children offers some children's poetry that is thoughtful and makes kids think about the world and their place in it.

The Secret Place by Dennis Lee

There's a place I go, inside myself,

Where nobody else can be,

And none of my friends can tell it's there -

Nobody knows but me.

It's hard to explain the way it feels,

Or even where I go.

It isn't a place in time or space,

But once I'm there, I know.

It's tiny, it's shiny, it can't be seen,

But it's big as the sky at night...

I try to explain and it hurts my brain,

But once I'm there, it's right.

There's a place I know inside myself,

And it's neither big nor small,

And whenever I go, it feels as though

I never left at all.

Other books of kid's poems by Dennis Lee include 'Dinosaur Dinner with a Slice of Alligator Pie', 'Nicholas Knock and Other People: Poems', 'Garbage Delight' and 'Jelly Belly: A Book of Rhymes'.

Open a Book by Jane Baskwill

Open a book

And you will find

People and places of every kind.

Open a book

And you can be

Anything you want to be.

Open a book

And you can share

Wonderous worlds you find in there.

Open a book

And I will too

You read to me

And I'll read to you.

Other books by Jane Baskwill include 'If Peace Is...', 'Somewhere' and 'Pass the Poems Please'.

Friends by Elizabeth Jennings

I fear it's very wrong of me,

And yet I must admit.

When someone offers friendship

I want the whole of it.

I don't want everybody else

To share my friends with me.

At least, I want one special one,

Who, indisputably

Likes me much more than all the rest,

Who's always on my side,

Who never cares what others say,

Who lets me come and hide

Within his shadow, in his house -

It doesn't matter where -

Who lets me simply be myself,

Who's always, always there.
