Funny Kids PoemsI tend to write funny kids poems when i sit down o write for myself. It's been a long time since I was a kid, but maybe because I like to amuse myself, I'm always in search of everything funny. (Life isn't fun when you're too serious!)
Kids, being young humans who enjoy smiling and laughing, take humor at face value -- and don't try so hard to analyze and find "meaning" in a poem. It is with this goal in mind - making the kids with you (or the kid "in" you) smile and laugh, that I share the following funny kids poetry. The first of the funny kids poems is Tissue Box, If you like writing poems yourself, consider starting with a narrow topic such as this. It makes it easier to be specific - and write your poem! 
Tissue Box How many sneezes and coughs and ker-chews? How many nose wipes? And tear drops? A few. How many damp wads Get thrown in the basket? The trash can, the waste pile? The used-tissue casket? How many wipes on your poor, drippy snout? How many pulls till the box just runs out? Who says it matters? You run out, and then .. You go to the store for a new box again. by Denise Rodgers The second of the Funny Kids Poems is Bee. This poem was inspired by a journal writing session, during which a bee came buzzing outside my window, banging repeatedly into my window screen. (Yay screen!) 
Bee A bee came tapping at my screen, Buzzing, bumping, sounding mean. Bouncing, pushing, acting wired, With no thought of getting tired. I could say, “Dear bee, what is it? Would you like to come and visit?” v But I feel his anger’s keen. by Denise Rodgers The next of the funny kids poems is Creative Ken. This one was inspired by my love of thick-pointed, black-ink pens. That is where most of my writing originates these days. That is where most of my writing originates before it makes its way to my computer. 
Creative Ken Creative Ken Got a brand new pen All filled with dark black ink. He started to write with all of his might About everything he could think. He wrote about moose He wrote about Kansas, he wrote about Maine. His pen kept on moving, his words never stopped by Denise Rodgers The last of the Funny Kids Poems (on this page at least) is Dandelion. It is inspired by my love of this much-maligned "flower." It's a shame we spend so much money (and despoil our environment) in an effort to destroy them each year! 
Dandelion A field of yellow on the green. I think it makes a lovely scene. If not stopped, they sprout and grow. I think it makes a lovely show. So full and lush, by Denise Rodgers If you like the funny kids poems on this page,, keep in mind that a whole BOOK of poems just like them are available on this site.
