My 5 year old and I decided to create a kids poem together, and he volunteered to narrate it.  Let us know what you think.

I Wish For A Fish

Mommy, Daddy how I wish
For small little gold fish

One to keep in a bowl or jar
So he won’t swim very far

His colors can be gold or red
I can feed him pieces of bread

We can feed him goldfish food
And he will eat when in the mood

I think I shall name him chips
I watch as he opens and closes his lips

He swims up and gulps some air
I just enjoy sitting down to stare

Thank you for this fish
You have granted my little wish

Children Sleep

Children Sleep while parents creep
Presents to wrap, promises to keep
The kids were told a bed time story
Will wake tomorrow to sights of glory

The tree is trim the house complete
A snack is left, a treat so sweet
A glass of milk to wash it down
Then on to the next house in this town

All of this while children dream
Containing an excitement so extreme
The wonders and joys of being so young
Parents converge where the mistletoe is hung

A warm snuggle followed by a kiss
This evening total and utter bliss
This year ended on a high note
And that is how I will end this quote

Today may be my last Twitter Poem until December 29th as I am not working the rest of the week, and will be mostly too busy with my family for the holidays to do much blogging, or poetry these next few days. 10 people provided the random words on twitter (highlighted in blue) and I was inspired to write my Dragon Blogger poem version of The Polar Express using those words.
Thanks to the following people and their words:

@TheNonsenseBlog (thousand), @peteej (chocolate), @shawniec (charisma), @izealove (waffle), @lejonprime (bunyon), @benjphoto (portmanteau), @jamiain (blustery), @dirkjohnson (awareness), @blm03 (joyful), @reginasuniverse (anise)

Dragon Bloggers Polar Express

Hurry up and pack your portmanteau
We leave for a place of magic
Only children are called to this journey
This place within an ancient land up north

We shall whisk you away inside a great train
So your feet won’t pick up a bunyon
As you sit in the train car filled with wonder
A thousand other children are seated around you

Wafting through the air the smell of hot chocolate
Brought out in large cups and saucer places
Accompanying such a potable dessert
Lay a small dusted waffle like a decoration

With a flavor of nutmeg and a hint of anise
Your sense of taste and smell elevated so high
You wonder where this train will head
As it rides quickly in the pitch black night

In a few hours of chatting with others
Awareness sets in and consensus is reached
The North Pole is our destination it seems
Kids can’t believe it, it just can’t be

The train comes to a halt in the center of town
Elves who look like short me are standing around
Kids disembark the train and are led down a path
Where a tree stands so tall and presents are all wrapped

A man stands before you so joyful and tall
His charisma as large as a one hundred foot wall
With a blustery laugh he greets you all with a cheer
Only then do you notice the dozen reindeer

He tells the kids one by one who sit on his lap
Think of a present before going down for a nap
After each kid reveals their Christmas bliss
They part farewell and one gives Rudolph a kiss

This nights journey soon ends with the train ride back
And just as they leave Santa’s whip gives a crack
The reindeer take off dragging the sleigh in tow
As the train starts to take off it begins to snow

Will I think this was a dream when I wake the next morning?
All this could not have happened last night without warning
It is then that I realized that I ripped my sleeve
And from that day forward I would always believe

Merry Christmas

Martian Man

Who is this Martian man
Head shaped like a little tin can
body green with torso small
Eyes so large like a ball

Who is this Martian man
Skin so pale he has no tan
Arms so thin and legs too short
He sure is an odd little sort

Who is this Martian man
When he showed up the people ran
He seems quite nice to me
He just wants to be free

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Wounded Bird

What a small creature hopping on the ground
unable to take flight, with a wing bent not quite right
Did you fall from a tree, or take some injury
One could only pray, that you don’t become another’s prey

Come here little bird I have a small cage
I can help you hop, and lift you up on top
and put you away, so you wont risk the stray
until you are healed, I will keep your cage sealed

What a small little bird all alone and afraid
Some would call you air mice, but that isn’t very nice
Maybe a dime a dozen you are, but you shouldn’t be ended by a car
I shall keep you out of harm, and put you up in my farm

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

The Rescuer

Shadows fall in the valley of the past
Music blowing on a howling wind
The peak of a cliff under your feet
Spelunking for days seeking your target

The cavern lies before you
Ten fortnights journey to arrive
Madness to try you were told
Here you stand at the gaping mouth

Muscles torn and weary from climbing
Harness and gear still in tow
You enter the cavern and the unknown
Wondering if you will meet friend or foe

You ignite your lantern and illuminate
Countless stalagmites fill the chamber like teeth
You see what you hoped to find
A small boy wrapped in a sleeping bag

You rush over to assist and care for his wounds
The boy startles awake and surprised
You came for me he cries with glee
I didn’t think you would even try

You whisk the boy up and bring him to safety
Rejoining the rest of his family this time
A successful rescue from a hike gone awry
This is your job and what you do

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Never Too Late

Tired of the same old day
Body wearing now old and gray
You look upon the sun this time
Failing in life is not a crime

Goals were set when you were young
Scholars and lawyers you were among
They each got rich while you broke even
They sold out and you called them heathens

Now in your sixties would you do life different
Instead, barely enough money just to pay the rent
At the end of your days you can say you tried
But your maker would know that you have lied

There is still time left at least a decade
A clever man would find a way to get paid
This is a place where ambition gets rewarded
Just don’t trust anyone else you might get thwarted

Take a look at yourself five years from now
You own a house and a boat and people ask how
You tell them you didn’t give up and had an ideal
Try something new and treat it for real

Success lies for each and every one
Life can be played and it can be won
So fight for your dreams and take a risk
Run don’t walk with a pace that is brisk

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

I am your bird

You spot me without knowing me
Trusting in a company to keep its word
When you remove my packaging I am bare
Naked and undressed but soon to be more

When you stuff me with food from the earth
When you roast me and my skin crisps
Do you taste me and find satisfaction?
I am the centerpiece this day

So feast upon me my man kind
Amaze your family and friends
For I was your delicasy tonight
I am your bird

Happy Thanksgiving

What To Be Thankful For

Be thankful you have a heart that still beats
Be thankful you have a babe that still sleeps
Be thankful the world still turns
Be thankful that fire still burns
Be thankful of all that you hold dear
Be thankful for that last case of beer
Be thankful the world is still right
Be thankful for day and thankful for night
Be thankful if you are rich or poor
Be thankful if you have less but aspire for more
Be thankful if you are better off than some
Be thankful even if you live in a slum
Be thankful for earths diverse creatures
Be thankful especially for our childrens teachers
Be thankful for all peoples variety
Be thankful for all of society

Happy Day Before Thanksgiving my readers
