Best Toddler Poems

Oh sharp diamond, my mother!
I could not count the cost
of all your faces, your moods-
that present that I lost.

Somewhere, sometime, you were Wounded
Maybe as early as infancy when you were denied
All the essentials of the bonding experience
Perhaps the wounds were inflicted
...

Back From Beauteous Normandy….

I still remember the light blue skies
touches the bright seablue horizon
...

One of a kind this cheerful sound
A child's laughter wherever it's found
From the giggling of a baby in a playpen
To the laughter of a toddler again and again
...

Like a toddler taking maiden steps
The narrow stream moves through the woods
Tripping and falling over pebbles and boulders
Chiming its silver anklets
...

Silly girl with your head in the clouds,
When will your feet touch the ground?
You're childish and living in fantasyland,
You may not be mentally sound;

Baby

Like flowers reaching for Sun, baby sucks ma's breast.
Petals open kissed by light, baby smiles content.

On a cool night
a full moon
inspects toddler's toys
strewn across the yard
...

When a young brilliant mind
Focuses on his passion,
Thinks deeply,
Contemplates on his subject,
...

A cup of tea, some soda bread,
Would you take some milk and sugar, friend?
Sit here by the fireside
And share with me the daylights end.
...

In the hangover of the dawn late after the sunrise
the breeze silent like it is asleep
like the hush in a toddler’s cradle
quiet is the approaching afternoon

Wrapped around in my swaddling clothes,
I saw her bright beaming face.
Lying helpless, still in a trance,
I sensed her soft soothing touch.

He never could enjoy the presence of
His own children along with him during his life time.
They remained far away and distant from him.

A toy locomotive
fresh red paint
on it’s wooden boiler
waits on time for completion.

Petals fall, wheels roll
How swift is the flight of time

Lifting the veil of my translucent memory

Urgent darkness hunts us south, while my stomach churns with childbirth
He waits.

My thoughts go back to the time that I have just arrived in the Netherlands.
We live in Leiden at that time.
On the coffee, asked by my neighbour.
She also said that she has invited a few other ladies.

The banker and his wife rejoiced. Their son was born.
As happened at first with boys, blue was the color most often worn …..
by their dear son, Quentin. They doted on him so,
planning for his future. To which college would he go?

A woman drags her toddler
In panic, as she negotiates
The sun scorched city road
Avoiding the mad stampede

Cherry-ripe: dark sweet burlats, scarlet reverchons
firm-fleshed and tart in the mouth
bigarreaux, peach-and-white napoléons
as the harvest moves north
...

Born miraculously
Spoke when toddler
Prophet by birth
Such was Isa'(Pbuh) the blessed one

Have you ever boarded a flight with the dread
Of the passenger next to you snoring his head
Off, or maybe a toddler who's teething & raging
And dribbling, and drooling and loudly rampaging?

My heart pounding
My Vanajyotsna in my arms,
I stood still, as Shakuntala
With tears in her lovely eyes

I heard a love story about a very young couple, residing in the UK
he was a kindest doctor
had his practice at the house
he was always waiting for her returning from her work

There just
Purple flowers of climbers
My toddler play
Fresh air
...

I've had Time sweep me up
sequester me away
to stillness consummate.
...

for my dad, the quiet captain of life


Why is my heart surprised?

75 Years D-Day on 5 June 2019....
Due to bad weather General Eisenhower commanded (based upon the advice of the 25-years experienced weatherman in Portsmouth)on 4 June THIS DAY must be delayed by 1 DAY, so D-DAY became 6 June 1944, since they departed in the evening of the 5th June and arrived early in the morning at the 6th of June 1944.

Today we commemorate, WE? YOU ALL, D-Day, because, actually, I don't know anything about it, my husband likes to watch the LIVE TV broadcast, he just loves watching war movies, like all other men around the world and this 75 year memorial celebration of D-Day in Portsmouth

Where the earth rose steeply to embrace the sky,
Where clouds and dreams in tandem roam
Mix and mingle unhindered in their celestial home.

Mulling over - with staggering steps, he - a toddler!
Pondering over - with heavy steps, he - a rattrap peddler!
With his soul loitering - with careening steps he - a Meddler!
Tarrying about with lurking steps, he - a doodler!

No hate, no frowning to toddler who has just started the work

Across the dark ocean of sleep
My yacht sometimes goes adrift
And is washed ashore the Beach
Of Turkey where little Alan lay dead

That helped to shape my life,
Was the county fair
With fond memories in rife.

THE DAUGHTER....POEM NUMBER 1114

The feeling of a daughter
one with full lament

waiting for her farm hand husband to return to her lonely bosom.
Enters the husband, tired, and cranky.
He goes to the stereo, hooks up his headphones,

watching the black X on the calendar march ever closer,
regressing back to toddler years in my mind.
As I pull into the parking lot

Meandering inside the confines of my solitude
I asked the forest, which tree is your boundary?

(with so many apologies to her)

So there you are and here I am
An ageing friend and an strange old man

While the smile of a toddler
Shows innocence at its best

There man leaks and comes
A birth so great to bear
And so happy to beget.

Today I left some dishes dirty, the bed I made at 3.30.
The nappies soaked a little longer, as the odour grew a little stronger.

Will probably be there till next fall.

We exist: of that no sane person does doubt,
Although there may pseudophilosophers be,

so i can see your beautiful face,
and gaze into your loving eyes.

Lovingly in love loved by the same 'ager
Sometimes metering doddered lika a toddler
Prosodial lingua travailing like a prattler..

Little boy and grandma
Talk ceaselessly
Some time to each other

Round and round we went and found
That we were only roaming round,

They know their seasons. Our trees began to sense
It was time to sprout buds, to summon up from roots
Their gushing zest for the fresh breath of spring;
Leaves emerge on bare branches, soft as baby hair.

I like the scary movies, whether classic or brand new
The bloodier- the better, is my twisted point of view
I hope to see the victims disemboweled with an axe
Until some entrails hit the floor I just cannot relax.

Wiping her hands on the apron
Went to answer a call front..
There on the step stood,
a toddler whimpering

Blood bath that harmonized
In a corner a corpse lie without sense
A bud that not flourished

I’m sick of You. Your magnificence
precipitates mental pain, ethical

cramps. That You continue to shine

A crying birth.
A faltering toddler.
A playful child.
A dreaming adolescent.

Crying for no reason
I'm just a baby
You love it
Throwing fits

Day in day out I think about you constantly
Day in day out I wish you where still here
Day in day out I wish I could still here your voice
Day in day out I wish I could see you one last time

Back since I was only three
I remember you granddad
How much you adored me
