THINGS TO DO IF YOU ARE A NIGHTLIGHT
Stay by my bed—
a little electric star
that will shine
till the break of day
and scare
all my nighttime
fears away.

Just perfect, Elaine, nicely done? Might I run into you at the Mass Poetry Fest?
Thank heavens for those little electric stars :).
I really like all your Things to Do poems, Elaine.
There's nothing like a nightlight to scare away the nighttime fears. :-)
Hi, Elaine. Love your poem...especially since I have two little girls who can't go to sleep without a little light by their side. The book Emma Dilemma looks cute, too!
Once again I love your children's poems and I love you in equal measure!
Ha! I wrote a What to do if you're a...poem this week, too! (don't enter me in the drawing...already own it!!)
Led fourth-grade poetry workshops today, and we tried some Things to Do poems -- such fun! Your "Things to Do If You Are a Pencil" from Falling Down the Page was also much enjoyed.
Your Nightlight poem is wonderful, too.
Happy Poetry Month!
