Tiny Travelers

In celebration of National Poetry Day, 220 new poems have been uploaded onto https://www.dirigibleballoon.org – a fantastic bank of poetry for kids!

Such a pleasure to have one of mine included! (https://dirigibleballoon.org/poem/Tiny-Travelers)

It’s all about seeds, and the fascinating ways they get around!

Seeds are tiny
Seeds are small
Seeds are quite remarkable.

Seeds need light and space to grow
Seeds know how to up and go
Off to find wide open spaces
Seeds are really going places!

Tiny travelers
New horizons
The way they move is quite surprising.

Some seeds float
Some seeds glide
Some have hooks to hitch a ride
Some have helicopter wings,
Some seeds POP
And some seeds PING!

Dandelion seeds are cute
Each a mini parachute
Blow upon their fluffy seeds
Watch them float upon the breeze!

Seeds are tiny,
Miniscule!
But I think seeds are really cool.
