Poems- Children Around the World

A poem is a complete and self-contained piece of writing in verse that is set out in lines of a particular length and uses rhythm, imagery, and often rhyme to achieve its effect.

Here are some examples of my own and collected interesting poems:

Children Around the World

Some children are brown like newly baked bread.
Some children are yellow and some are red.
Some children are white and some almost blue.
Their colors are different - the children like you..

Some children eat porridge and some eat figs,
Some children like ice cream and some roasted pigs,
Some eat raw fishes and some Irish stew –
Their likings are different – the children like you.

Some children say “yes” and some say “oui”,
Some say “ja” and some say “si”,
Some children say “peep” and some say “booh” –
Their words may be different – the children like you.
Some children wear sweaters and some rebozos,
Some children wear furs and some kimonos,
Some children go naked and wear only their queue.
Their clothes may be different – the children like you.

Some children have houses of stone in the streets,
Some in igloos, and some live in flats,
Some live in cold straw huts and some in new –
Their homes may be different – the children like you.

Some children are Finnish and some from Japan,
Some are Norwegian and some from Sudan.
Oh, yes, we have children in valleys, in pike.
Their countries are different – the children alike.

Oh, if they could dance and if they could play
Altogether a wonderful day!
Some could come sailing and could just hike.So much would be different – the children alike.
