Here's a limerick for kids (and grown ups!)
There was a wee spider called Netty
Who found it extremely upsetting
That the man in the house
Wanted her out!
"But I'm small," she said, "don't eject me!"

Just learnt that there's a NaPoWriMo in April which sounds like a delightful way to spend April (writing a poem per day for a month)

NaPoWriMo Day 4

The clouds roll in, a gathering night,
And something stirs beneath the plain.

The day my son was born was truly a great day. A day I put aside a lot of the joys I had until then. Things that now seemed trivial in comparison to nurturing this new, stronger and purer joy of fatherhood.
