Blast Off Billy
Here's a poem for all you space cadets out there who dream of far away places and alien spaces.


The Straight and Narrow
I once read that good people should walk the straight and narrow - and that may be true - but poetic people are known to step out of the ordinary way of doing things.


The Dawg Doctor
Sick Dawg I was driving on an old country road down South one day when I noticed the license plate of the car in front of me. It said "Dog Doc." I started saying the words "I'm the Dawg Doctor" over and over in a slow deep southern drawl - the way a good 'ole country vet might say it. Most of the poem as you hear it was written while I continued to follow that car.


The Bogeyman Band
When I was a kid, I was afraid of writing. After years of facing that fear, I actually became a writer. That's what this poem is all about - facing your fears - whatever they may be. If you have a fear of something, you can overcome it just like I did. Now go get 'em!


Crack A Jack
Snowman Growing up in New York, I've seen my share of fights. I sure wish somebody would have recited this little poem for me before every one of those brawls!


Hope Tart Sweets
Here's a sweet poem that won't fill you up. It's a commercial I wrote for an imaginary sponsor. It will have to do until we get some major corporate backing at A Child's Voice. One of the many unexpected places you'll find poetry is in advertising. Have some fun and try to write a little jingle of your own.


The Irate Pirate
I grew up in Long Island and my favorite place has always been the beach. For years, I'd float out on the water and talk to myself like a pirate. This poem came out of that lonely drama in the water off the beach.


Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss was written as a tribute to the great children's poet Theodor Seuss Geisel who passed away on September 24th, 1991. I believe that Dr. Seuss was the first poet's voice I ever heard as a child. I hope you enjoy this funny poem!

When you're ready to step out of the
ordinary way of doing things...


A Poem is a Vitamin
I don't hear enough doctors talking about the importance of poetry in your diet. Here's Dr. Bill prescribing some verse.


King of Style
Have you ever noticed how some kids try to be just like everyone else? Each one of us has our own unique style. We should be concentrating on those things that make us uniquely poetic. Let your freak-flag fly!


A Dream Tied Balloon
Dreams don't just happen. They take a lot of huff & puff. A lot of sweating and grunting and knee-scraping trail & error. Don't be discouraged when you get discouraged. Get off your rump and make something happen!


Slurp! Slop! Slip!
Here's a poem made for a drooling toddler - or anyone else that just wants to say something silly!


My Giant
A great source for poetic ideas are famous quotes. This poem begins with a line from one of the masters, Ralph Waldo Emerson.
