The Teacher

Well here I am, right up
in front of the class.
She has picked me again.
I did not even ask.

Playing Inside
©1995 Susan Noyes Anderson, Lollipops
Sometimes I close my eyes to see
what’s going on inside.
At first, it just looks dark, but then
my mind’s eyes open wide.
I Forgot
©1991 Susan Noyes Anderson
I wrote a good story but something went wrong.
I had all the characters where they belong.
The setting was great, and the word use was strong.
The length was just right … not too short, not too long.
Vote for Me!

Vote 4 me!
I am running for Vice President.
Vote 4 me!
I will give you one hundred percent.
Vote 4 me!
If you want changes made, I’m your man.
Vote 4 me!
I will serve any way that I can.
Boo Hoo Flu

Boo hoo hoo, I’ve got the flu.
I caught it, but it caught me too.
Do you think it would let me be
if I yelled “Ally-all-come-free!”?
If you liked this poem, you might enjoy reading Pox Stampede.
Now we have the coronavirus to deal with, too. Wish I could find a better hiding place than stuck in my house!
Copy Cat

My little brother copies me.
He does just what I do.
He lugs around a baseball bat
and wears my shinguards too.
My Gardener

My favorite day is Monday.
That’s the day the gardener comes.
I love to watch him pull the weeds
And plant chrysanthemums.
My Hero
©1991 Susan Noyes Anderson
My hero is the kind of guy
who hang glides upside down,
who skis on one ski, backwards,
and yells “Score!” when he falls down.
