My first attempt at poetry. Not as easy as I thought!

Swinging on the swing,

Sliding down the slide.

The kids are so happy,

Playing at the playground.

Time for the sunset

And time for a rest

The mother calling all kids

And walk with them.

What a lovely day

The kids have had.

At home at the end

And see what’s been prepared

A yummy dinner

And some perfect snack.

When daddy comes back

The kids climb to his neck

“Hi daddy”, cried out the kids

“How are you today”, the daddy returned

What a happy day

The family has had

Prepare for tomorrow

For the new school term.

    Great first attempt! Poetry is all about painting a picture for the reader in a few words, and you have done that. I remeber that last night before school from my own childhood as well as my daughters’ school days. :)

    Your school is late, ours started three weeks ago. Very good poem for your first try.

    An author’s way of expressing a feeling of happy family. Good poem.
