Most Commented Childhood Poems (355)

Held the gun in my hot little hand
I was trembling with excitement
Peered round corner, casing the joint
Would people never leave there

Quickly ran out with gun in hand
Yelled..this is a stick up
Don't waste time, I want one now
A double cone with chocolate

Ever so calmly they made it up
And to me handed it over
Who would argue, at the point of a gun
Held by a boy of seven

Quickly I made my getaway
To enjoy this illicit pleasure
Now who would think at seven years old
That they would know your parents

Through the keyhole slyly I peek
To see what lays beyond there
Has Santa come, the presents brought
And piled them high in there

What did he bring for me this year
So gaily wrapped these presents
I tried my best, I really did
I thought I'd been a good boy

I'd love a bike, or pogo stick
Or even an electric train set
Maybe a car to pedal around
Or an outfit like a cowboy

Yet all I saw when peek I did
Was mum and dad in there
Off to bed I'd better go
Or Santa might not be coming

He slips to sixty seven at mere fourty age. Into his childhood of pushed away an rage. A shaped partial future of getting to know. Miles an miles of past pushed aside then walking away you admitted her jus now. Back now to fourty's of reality mind that love in the future of mind will I find. Ever so present. . . . felt.

It's the path of the night,

It's the flight in the early light.



Descending to the ground

While it's up high at peace

And tumble to search something found



It's odd, it's even, it's why

are all taken and eaten?

Crumble down, it doesn't need anymore clowns.

Stop the laughs....stop the games.



This Child doesn't want to get blamed

for something that the foxes tore apart,

scattered to the four winds

forever forgotten,

forever gone.

Wind tapping on windowpane
dark shadows drift near
First fright
Child it will be alright
Its only just a starless night
all will be well
come morning light

i hang my head and cry sometimes
thinking back i cant help it sometimes
scattered pieces of myself in sight
but I cant seem to pull the pieces together just right

echos of sorrow, memories of emptiness fill my mind
i learned to be disconnected, numb my cries
no one to look for me, alone every night
a struggle to hide the shame and pain from my eyes
so disconnected, i hide the truth with lies
lost my way, not knowing wrong from right
so many times i could have taken my life
but through Gods grace i'll pick up the pieces and let my light shine bright<3

Thud, thud, thud, thud
Heavy footsteps on the stairs
What is this that makes this noise
What monster lurks out there

Up the stairs with heavy tread
It could be a goblin
Sharp teeth and long claws
Ready to make me his dinner

Or maybe a giant big and strong
Who is coming up to get me
He'll grind my bones to make his bread
And eat me as a sandwich

It could be a witch so ugly and horrid
And into her oven she'll shove me
She'll bake me slow, golden and tender
I'll be her Sunday roast dinner

Or maybe a beast, wild and ferocious
It'll growl and rip me to shreds
Munch on my bones till nothing is left
And then have a nap after dinner

Creak, creak, creak, creak
The door ever so slowly opens
Oh no it's here, I have to hide
And under the covers I'm diving

A growl fills the room, coming near
My whole little body shaking
Onto the bed this thing takes a leap
And snarls at me under my covers

I jump out of bed and fly in his arms
And laugh at my silly daddy
I knew it was you all the time
And cover his face with my kisses

Time to sleep and all tucked in
Last hugs and kisses
Lights turned off, dad goes downstairs
We'll play this game again tomorrow

There goes Hannah
climbing a tree
to reach a rooster that
crowed,"cockle doodle dee?!"

Hannah was confused
the rooster was too
So Hannah taught him
to sing cockle doodle doo

There goes Hannah
swimming in the lake
to rescue a duckling that
said, "quake quake quake"

Hannah sad, "I'm truly sorry
but its a well known fact
that little ducklings say
quack, quack, quack!"

Into the barn went our
little Hannah Rae
to teach the long eared donkey
how to bray

It seems our furry friend
was a little mixed up
for instead of braying HEE HAW
He was braying, "Hiccup Hiccup"

Even the dappled gray mare
wouldn't whinny or neigh
She just let out a "Tweet"
when Hannah offered her some hay

The cat mewled, "Cluck"
"Oink", howled the dog
the goose honked, "Baaaa"
"Woof" grunted the big, fat hog

As Hannah was leaving the barn,
she stopped to pet the cow
who looked at her and
bellowed, "Meow"

Our Hannah shook her head
and said, "That wouldn't do
cows really should
just say MOOOO!!"

Hannah was confused
what was happening on the farm?
was there cause
to raise an alarm?

She went to ask Gram and Papa
Papa said with a smile,
"The animals change places
it happens once in awhile"

Grammy said, "They get bored
and pretend to be something else
but by the end of the day,
they are back to being themselves."

Its ok to pretend
but its always best
to be proud of who you are cause
God made you different then the rest.

Nothing can explain exactly all you do
Or how much I love you.
All you do and all you say
Help me each and every day.
Your love and support my whole life long
Help me to grow up happy and strong.
When things aren't going well and I need to talk,
I know that you aren't a far away walk.
We've always been there for each other,
Day after day and then another.
There are no words good enough for what a good mother entails.
There are no ways to explain how amazing, no details.
Three words sum up things well, though,
And these three are the best that I know:
I love you.
Never forget how much I do.

I want my mum
I want my dad
Is that too much to ask
I want them both
Where I can see
Not travel to and fro

Why can't they both
Live here with me
I'm not that bad
I'll try to be
Much better still
If you'll come live with me

You say that both
Of you have changed
At present things are different
Love has left, no longer there
Is love for me
Gone the same way

No, no you say
Don't worry so
You love me forever
But how I ask
Can this be so
If both of you have changed

If you can choose
To love me now
And choose to love me ever
Then why I ask
Why can't you choose
To love one another
