Just like I rarely write funny poetry, I almost never write poems for children. However, I wrote this one many years ago and thought I would share it at long last. It was inspired by a book called ‘A Child’s Garden of Verses’ by Robert Louis Stevenson which I won as a school prize when I was about seven (could have been a poetry prize but that is probably wishful thinking!)
If I were a King
If I were a king
And my bed was a throne
And the garden a kingdom
Of my very own
I’d stand on my bed
And proudly I’d say
Sun I command you
To shine every day
Rain you are exiled
From out of this land
And the clouds would disperse
With a wave of my hand

Wonderful poem.
If i were a children,i’d like it very much 🙂
Thank you. Maybe I will write more childrens poems.
very funny… thanks
That’s a very good poem. Had my 12-year old daughter look at it, and she smiled, which is about as much enthusiasm over anything she expresses these days.
Thank you. I’m glad she enjoyed it. It is rather old-fashioned compared to poetry these days.
It’s very nice and inspiring poem.
