See a new poem here each week
If I Were.... by Eva L. Robinson
If I were a queen,
I'd rule a mighty land.
If I were a princess,
I'd take a prince's hand.
If I were a soldier,
I'd fight a mighty war.
If I were a hero,
I'd be the best they ever saw.
If I were a dancer,
I'd dance with such grace.
If I were a runner,
I'd win every race!
If I were an actress,
I'd take part in a play,
For I can do anything,
No matter what you say.
Get ready for the fun by making poetry part of your day today!
Print out a poem put it in your pocket, read and memorize it on the go. Don't forget to have fun!
