Milou

Milou is a young Swedish/German student (10). She speaks four languages and lives in Buenos Aires where the rich culture with Tango, Milonga and the exiting Latin American Literature inspires her writing. Her main influences are Roald Dahl and Ken Nesbitt and she loves writing, reading and music. "One day I want to become a "great" writer. I read and write as much as I can and I want to learn". I am writing funny poems for kids on my blog Poetry 4 Kids. One of my goals is to publish a book with funny poems for children and I am working on it. I am very interested in the environment and nature and support the Earth Day Network with my blog World Poetry Day where artists, writers and poets can post a contribution for Earth Day.

A Messy Day by Milou

®cartoon by diversitylane
I didn’t wash the dishes
I didn’t make my bed
And as for the hamsters
I don’t think they were fed
I didn’t do my paper work
I ate chips and watched TV
The living room is such a mess
It even petrifies me
I feel so very sloppy
I don’t know what to say
I hope my children don’t find out
What I [...]


Big Paws by Milou

Once upon a time there was
A cat with unusually big paws
Her feet were as big as a car’s tires
And this is not what a cat desires
One day she was at home without any crew
‘Cause her owner was away buying some shoes
Suddenly it happened something very surprising
Now the cat’s feet were changing their sizing
First to the [...]


Dinner? by Milou

Dear Ms. Spider….
I cannot come and dine tonight
You see, I don’t have very good sight
Along with that I cannot choose
Which shoes and clothes that I should use
That’s not all, I have a cold
And all my bones feel cranky and old
So you see it’s not the day
Why don’t we dine on Saturday?
Sincerely replied,
The Fly


The Snake by Milou

Podcast The Snake [audio http://www.kidscolony.com/downloads/milou/podcast/The%20Snake.mp3]
Its scales reflect the evilness
Black, empty eyes do not confess
Its hiss is ironing my foot
I can’t move, I stuck, like a root
This snake that I’m describing now
Is slithering to me, and makes me frown
This time I know it, my death is near
And down my spine go goose bumps of fear
But when [...]


The Unusual Creature by Milou

Podcast – The Unusual Creature [audio http://www.kidscolony.com/downloads/milou/podcast/The%20Unusual%20Creature%20by%20Milou.mp3]
Once a great wizard who’d studied many books
Said, “There aren’t many animals with horrible looks.”
So he dreamt one up and wrote it all down
(The animal’s description would make anyone frown)
He wrote it down on a wrinkly sheet
And described the animal head to feet:
I has yellow-stained teeth and green, slimy [...]
