Giraffes at the zoo

Bend their necks to come near me

One licks my ice cream!

I play with my words. 

And make them into poems.
Words are toys for me.

He's covered his eyes.

Quick, hide behind that tree trunk!

...five, four, three, two, one.

Beside muddy shoes

Smelly socks fall to the floor

Dirty clothes sigh "Phew!"

Searching the garden,

Rabbits sniff bean sprouts and ask

Where are the carrots?

Stars sparkle brightly

Moonlight makes the night sky glow 

I hear an owl hoot!

Cookies in red hands... 

This thief is quick to explain: 

"I'm putting them back!"

Under orange leaves, 

Angry squirrels start to fight. 

Acorns are missing!

This is a reworked version of a poem I wrote that won an award in 2006.
The new one was created for teaching purposes, using only one and two syllable words.
