  5. Great work by these writers, and also by Tricia in putting this list together. When I read poems suitable for children I feel something of the child remaining in me. I recently wrote this:

    TURN POETS' CORNER.

    Walk down poets' lane,
    Climb poets' hill.

    Swim in poets' pool,
    Visit poets' mill.

    Sit in the shade of poets' tree,
    Wander in poets' park.

    Cross poets' river,
    By means of poets' ark.

    Eat poets' pie,
    Drink poets' ale.

    Study poets' verses,
    Read poets' mail.

    Fly in poets' jumbo jet,
    Sail in poets' yacht.

    Turn poets' corner,
    And see who you can spot.
