SOUNDS LIKE MAGIC
Sounds Like Magic
I listened to a seashell
and thought of the waves
Inside my ear.
I held an empty eggshell
close against my head
and thought I heard a pecking chick
hatching from its bed.
I found a hollow coconut
and listened for a sound
and thought I heard horses hooves
pounding on the ground.
I took an empty teacup
to see what I might hear
and thought I heard a giants voice
booming in my ear.

GRANDMAS HOUSE
Grandmas House
Grandmas house is very small
just a bedroom and a hall
and a parlour full of flowers
lots of clocks to tell the hours
and a kitchen with a cat
fast asleep upon a mat
and a bathroom cool and white
full of towels soft and bright
and a front door with a bell
and a garden with a well
and a place to sit and dream
down beside a little stream
Grandmas house is full of things
things with wheels and things with wings,
things with spouts and things with handles,
bells and books and fans and candles
Grandmas house is very small,
but I love to go to call,
and to share a pot of tea-
Just my grandmama and me!

Woodpecker
Woodpecker, woodpecker
Tapping at the tree
Woodpecker, woodpecker
Cant you see?
Woodpecker, woodpecker
You cant win
You can knock all day
But theres no one in!

SAND CASTLE
Sand Castle
I built a house
One afternoon
With a bucket, cup,
And fork and spoon,
Then scooped a shovel-
ful of shore
On top to add
The second floor.
But when the fingers
Of the sea
Reached up and waved
A wave to me,
It tumbled down
Like dominoes
And disappeared
Between my toes.
