    About this ebook

    The poems are very different from what you will usually find in a book of children’s poetry. While a few are very funny, all have a special purpose: to teach the meaning of “difficult” words like gravity, infinity, space, etc. poetically so children can understand them. Their vocabulary will grow extensively by the time they’ve finished the book. Under the guidance of teachers, parents will be especially impressed.

      Dedication

      These poems are dedicated to two wonderful school teachers, JoAnn Wilson and Lisa Elder, and the inquiring minds of children everywhere.

      Last Dance

      39165.png

      Winter called his children,

      "Dear Cold and Wind and Snow,

      the Season’s moving northward, now;

      it’s time for us to go."

      But Snow was not inclined to leave

      and chose to stay behind;

      for warmers days and gentler winds,

      she simply changed her mind,

      and drifted softly, round and down

      in light and downy flakes,

      turning, swaying, spinning; white

      dresses trimmed in lace.

      The frozen earth began to thaw

      as flakes change into rain,

      and Snow fulfilled a pledge to save

      her last dance for Spring.

      Commentary

      39222.png

      When the season changes

      From winter into spring,

      Temperatures drop magically

      and snow turns into rain.

      Clouds

      39280.png

      When the sky grows dark

      in the midst of day,

      and thunder growls,

      in a grumbling way,

      the lightening bursts

      in shards of flame,

      shooting sparks

      at everything.

      It frightens birds

      and critters, too.

      Do clouds have tantrums

      like people do?

      Commentary

      39334.png

      When lightning shoots from cloud to ground, it stretches

      a tunnel through the air, and makes you wonder

      what happens when the tunnel snaps shut and the light

      goes out. It makes a frightful noise, but it’s only thunder.

      A Foggy Day

      39393.png

      I stepped outside

      to walk my dog

      and vanished in

      a cloak of fog!

      It’s spooky quiet,

      everywhere…

      Hello!… Hello!

      Is anyone there?

      Commentary

      39449.png

      Fog is a cloud of water coated

      dust particles nearly on the ground;

      and because of this, it’s hard to see,

      and it’s difficult to get around.

      Mystery

      39504.png

      So much noise

      inside the gym;

      I couldn’t hear

      above the din.

      The children left

      just moments ago,

      but I didn’t see the noises
