I Like - Heading .jpg

I   L I K E

By Josie Whitehead

I Like

I like the taste of sweet chocolate

     That melts on the tongue
And the signs in our world that say

      Spring has now sprung.


I like birds in the treetops

     Who whistle and sing
And cool air on my face

     When I swing on my swing.

​

I like cosy warm fires

     When, in winter, it’s cold
And I like lots of people -

      The young and the old.


I like children for they

     Always cause me to laugh –
And all kinds of animals

     From mice to giraffes.

​

I like birthdays and Christmas

     And days which are fun;
Days at the seaside

     In the sea and the sun.


I like writing my poems  -

     Especially for you
And hope that you all

     Enjoy reading them too.

​

I like days with my children

       And much more it’s true.
I like so many things,

     And I’m sure you do too.


So what things do you like

     Which perhaps I have missed?
Get your pencil and paper

     And make out a list.
