A House Is a House For Me
A hill is a house for an ant, an ant.
A hive is a house for a bee.
A hole is a house for a mole or a mouse.
And a house is a house for me!

Color
Buttercups are yellow,
Grass is a gorgeous green,
The world is bright with colour,
Everything wants to be seen!

Little Kitten
Little kitten rolling around,
Chasing a piece of string,
Fluid in its beauty,
Amazed at everything.

Bubble
A bubble is a miracle,
Fragile in the air,
A skin of stretched-out water
Floating everywhere.

The Little Seed
Blown on the wind,
Trampled by the rain,
The little seed must find its place
And grow a tree again.

Ladybird
‘The ladybird is quite absurd!’
The ant said to the bee,
‘So many legs and a coat of red -
It doesn’t look like me!’

Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves upon the ground,
Yellow, brown and red,
Winter’s getting closer,
The trees are going to bed.

The Whale
The whale sailed slow beneath the moon,
Its baby by its side,
Crossing oceans three miles deep
And thousands of cold miles wide.

Grandmother’s Fish
Gold fish, red fish
Swimming all around
Gold fish, red fish
Never make a sound.

The Moon
The moon is washing windows,
Dancing off the glass,
Resting on the praying trees
And painting the sleeping grass.
