Hello all! When my kids were young I wrote a bunch of children's poems and published a handful. When my first grandchild was born in Nov. 2023, I resumed. Published poems are below. A short sampling of others is here.
Though some of these were published as humor in newspapers, they were all written for children (with the possible exception of "The Dream Team," which was topical in Toronto). I've omitted other published light verse that's really not for a children's audience.
Images of those that lack links (or are paywalled) are below the list. Click to enlarge.
