Its all Colleens fault!
I wanted to try something different from me, not sure what I did here. Reading Colleen about her suggestion of either “found OR magnetic poetry” OR Golden Shovel but below is where I found the poems in a child’s poetry book. Also, a little about the authors and their works.
To get the syllables to work, I had to change the words here and there; anyway, thank you for your patience in reading this!
First line from poem by Jack Prelutsky
Bees
Every bee
that
ever was
was partly
sting and partly ... buzz.
Second Line poet Laura Richards
I dreamed I was a cave boy
And lived in a cave,
A mammoth for my saddle horse,
A monkey for my slave.
And through the tree-fern forests.
A-riding I would go,
When I was once a cave boy,
A million years ago.
Third Line poet Eugene Field
his poem The Sugar-Plum Tree
There are marshmallows, gumdrops, and peppermint canes,
etc. etc In the garden of Shut-Eye Town.
Fifth Line —Someone came came knocking poet Walter DeLa Mare
poet Rebecca McCann
So out ran young Joe,
Acting foolish and wild,
And everyone watched him
But nobody smiled.
Same unknown poet who composed poem titled
The Light-Hearted Fairy — Oh, who is so merry so merry, heigh ho!
As the light-hearted fairy? Heigh-ho, Heigh ho
He dances and sings
to the sound of his wings,
Poet William Allingham Poem titled the Fairies
Down along the rocky shore
Some make their home
they live on crispy pancakes
My line was taken from Wynken, Blynken, and Nod by Eugene Field
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
and finally, that last line was taken from The Merry-Go-Round by poet Myra Cohn Livingston
The merry-go-round
whirls round and round
in a giant circle on the ground.
And the horses run
an exciting race
while the wind blows music in your face
Then the whole world spins
to a colored tune
but the ride is over much too soon
Ta Da! ♫ My CREATION
Every bee that ever was
Lived a million years ago
In the Garden of Shut-Eye
Heigh-ho!
Someone did appear knocking
But only nobody smiled
To the sound of fuzzy wings
Heigh-ho!
They lived on crispy pancakes
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
The ride was over too soon
Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho
I Believe, BECAUSE -
