Have you seen Amanda?
I've looked most everywhere
Just when I think I've found her
I find she isn't there

I looked behind the sofa
And underneath the bed
I didn't find Amanda
I found the cat instead

She isn't in the kitchen sink
Or in the cookie jar
Is she hiding on the moon?
Or swinging from a star?

Maybe she went climbing
On a mountain way up high
Or sailing on a paper boat
Beneath a purple sky

I peeked inside the mailbox
But no Amanda there
I searched in all the cupboards
No Amanda anywhere!

Where are you Amanda?
Are you in the Booney Docks?
Or hiding in the dresser drawer
Where Grandma keeps her socks?

Maybe she's at Chucky Cheese
Or visiting the zoo
Maybe she has gone to sleep
in Grandpa Richard's shoe

Come out Amanda! Come with me!
Aunt Debbie wants to play!
There are so many lovely things
That we can do today

Let's ride on silver butterflies
And dance up in the trees
Have pillow fights til late at night
Eat candy when we please

Have YOU seen Amanda?
I'm certain she's somewhere
If only you would tell me
Then I could find her there!
(Written for my little cure for writers block... Amanda!)

How much fun is this? I love it!   Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thanks everybody, I've been having alot of fun lately, writing little story-poems for my niece.  I have added lots of graphics and had them bound into little books for her.  She loves it when I send them to her so that her grandmother can read them at bedtime!

This took me back to when my children were small and we played these games too.  I don't know which of us enjoyed them more! I guess it brought out the child in me also.
Very good!

Hey reminds me when I was a kid

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

Thanks everybody!
Writing little story poems for my niece is a great way to break writers block and she does love hearing stories about herself!

Artistic and creative poem here.....little children are one of the world's most precious and endearing inspirations that all should treasure.  You take me through all these wonderful objects and places trying to find your little Amanda.  So many pictures created in my head.

What a Delight!!!!!
