Thanks The Toy - 🍩🦜🍑🌻🪐🛼 - Submissions closed for #wordoftheweek #back. Welcome back! #poetryforchildren #poetryforkids #kidlit Possibly I have to thank Max Boyce MBE a little too - I couldn’t get ‘There’s a pig in the bath!’ out of my head as I wrote this! 🐖

I have so missed The Toy - 🍩🦜🍑🌻🪐🛼 - Submissions closed #word of the week. I'm not great at short poems but managed something silly with only 4 lines 💪 #poetry4kids #back #youscratchmyback #scratchmyback #porcupine #chinchilla #poetrycommunity #poetry

I love these one word prompts - they're such a brilliant way of pushing me to have a go at writing a poem for children. Out of nowhere, something unexpected pops up!

A SPARK OF AN IDEA by D. Eric Herrington A persistent tiny dream like a wick flickers sputtering dwindling nearly out It must breathe in oxygen before doubt burns it out dreams as flames spark from within grow strong breathing oxygen from without dreams and small flickering

Thank you for all your supportive comments on our post yesterday. Here is your #wordoftheweek! #writingcommunity #writingforchildren #writingprompt #poetryforkids #poetryforchildren #poetrycommunity

When I wrote for the word of the week, I still thought of fireworks, their fleeting trails across the beaver‑mooned sky. #WordOfTheWeek #PoetryForChildren #Fireworks #BeaverMoon #writingprompt #poetryforkids

#Wordoftheweek #poetry #poem #poetryforkids I've been reading A Winter Dictionary by Paul Anthony Jones. Fire Scordel: someone, and in particular a house cat, who sits happily by the fire all day. Feetings: fellow walkers’ or animals’ tracks left in a field of snow.
