Click READ MORE. </a>
As from the house your mother sees<br>
You playing round the garden trees,<br>
So you may see, if you will look <br>
Through the windows of this book,<br>
Another child, far, far away, <br>
And in another garden, play. <br>
But do not think you can at all, <br>
By knocking on the window, call <br>
That child to hear you. He intent <br>
Is all on his play-business bent. <br>
He does not hear, he will not look, <br>
Nor yet be lured out of this book. <br>
For, long ago, the truth to say, <br>
He has grown up and gone away, <br>
And it is but a child of air <br>
That lingers in the garden there.<br>Sparkzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04854125677807091495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075982273389659235.post-7757762548025230052012-03-06T23:15:00.001+01:002012-03-06T23:16:32.824+01:00Can you solve the riddle in the new personification poem - Nightmare On Toast - @ps4k.com?<a href="http://www.ps4k.com/kids-poems/ps4k-poem-of-the-week.html">Nightmare on Toast</a> - the new riddle and personification poem at ps4k.com<br />
<br />
So what's it all about?<br />
What are the sword and 4 daggers metaphors for?<br />
What exactly is that stinking, tummy-rumbling monster coming down the street?<br />
But most importantly, who/what is the poem about?<br />
<br />
There are lots of clues, even in the title...<br />
<br />
Still stuck?<br />

She had been set a school task to write and perform a speech about the "inspiring words of someone else." She had chosen my poem, <a href="http://www.ps4k.com/kids-poems/children-inspirational-poems-believe/the-different-path.html">The Different Path</a>. I was totally bowled over. Even better, she attached one of her own amazing poems about the environment. I especially love the lines, "That leaves just a few, who want to stop the aliens staring." It's a definitely a poem to make you <a href="http://www.ps4k.com/kids-poems/children-poems-think/think-poems.html">THINK</a>.<br />
<br />
Click to read, "<a href="http://www.ps4k.com/kids-poems/ps4k-share-&-competition-page.html">Keep Our World Clean!!!</a>"<br />

It might even inspire you to send in one of your own poems.
