What if
The world 🌎 was flat:
Would we fall off the edge?
Water 💦 would flow away and we
Would die!
Let me
Say I love ❤️ you
All the way to the moon 🌙
And back and beyond for ever and
A day
My dog 🐶
Is a daft brush
Chasing her tail around
Barking at her own daft shadow
Love ❤️ her!
Wind 💨 blows-
Howls in the trees 🌲
Whispers in the graveyard
Screams in the rafters - scaring me
To death 💀
Summer
Season of sun ☀️
Warming gardens into
Colourful bouquets 💐 for busy
Insects 🐜
Spring buds
Blossoming high
In the trees 🌲-birds fledging
Ready to fly, April showers catch
Us all
Winters ❄️
Chilled misty breathe
Frosting the window pane
Watching the world 🌎 put on winter ❄️
White coat
Berries
Ripening fat
Blackberries juicy black
Hedgerows laden- weighed with harvest
Treasure
Rainbow 🌈
Touching the ground-
Where the treasure is found
Golden coins in the leprechauns
Silk purse 👛

The first line has 2 syllables, the second line has 4, the third line 6, the fourth line 8 and the fifth and final line 2 syllables. Generally the poems are light verse to recognise a thought or moment. Usually more nouns and verbs rather than adverbs and adjectives.
