Seed Stories
Silly Seed!
So you think you can sleep snug in your bed
Under the ground without showing your head
Until the spring sun tickles you awake,
Yawning, stretching, and climbing to escape,
Silly Seed!
So you think you can wink at the spring sun,
Whirlwind dance in the spring rain for fun,
Growing an inch or two every day,
Spreading out your shoots every which way,
Silly Seed!
So you think you’ll bloom by telling the bees,
“Help yourself to my future faces please,”
Spread out for some move over power.
So you think you’ve grown into a flower,
Silly Seed!
Silly Seed you’ve done the deed!!
Seed Journey
As seeds travel through their growing day,
What sights do they see along the way?
A centipede with 100 feet,
All waving hello and wanting to meet.
Piles of dirt covered with squiggles,
Mark the ways of worms and their jiggles.
Tweak a yellow stick with a dirt streak
Feel that worm hunting robin’s beak.
A jungle of dandelion roots,
Create a detour of skip and scoot!
Popping from the warm ground one by one,
Seeds wave at the welcoming spring sun.
Sleepy Seed
Wake up, wake up, you sleepy seed,
Are you a flower or a weed?
If you’re a flower I’d like a rose,
If you’re a weed don’t bother my nose!
Seed SOS- (Sprouting on Sun)
There’s a yawn in the grass today,
Lawn mower alarm clocks shout “Hey!”
Warm sun fingers tickle my head,
Now is the time to leave my bed,
I am ready, I stretch and shout,
“Look out! I am about to sprout!”
Watermelon Seed
If and when you feel the need,
To spit a watermelon seed,
Since everyone will do that deed,
Here are some steps that you should heed.
Put the seeds on the tip of your tongue,
Surround them with lip attention,
Blow like a balloon one by one.
But while blowing remember, do,
The best advice found to be true,
Don’t spit at someone faster than you!
So you think you can sleep snug in your bed
Under the ground without showing your head
Until the spring sun tickles you awake,
Yawning, stretching, and climbing to escape,
Silly Seed!
So you think you can wink at the spring sun,
Whirlwind dance in the spring rain for fun,
Growing an inch or two every day,
