Aileen Fisher Poems
Don't you think it's probable
that beetles, bugs, and bees
talk about a lot of things -
...
T for time to be together, turkey,talk and tangy weather
H for harvest stored away, home and hearth and holiday
A for Autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart
...
(FOR HANUKKAH)
Light the first of eight tonight—
the farthest candle to the right.
Light the first and second, too,
...
After my bath
I try, try, try
to wipe myself
till I'm dry, dry, dry.
Hands to wipe
and fingers and toes
and two wet legs
and a shiny nose.
Just think how much
less time I'd take
if I were a dog
and could shake, shake, shake.
...

The Best Poem Of Aileen Fisher
Upside Down
It's funny how beetles
and creatures like that
can walk upside down
as well as walk flat.
They crawl on a ceiling
and climb on a wall
without any practice
or trouble at all.
While I have been trying
for a year (maybe more)
and still I can't stand
with my head on the floor.

Explanation of the poem The Spinning Earth
The first poem I remember from second grade was by Aileen Fisher, and I don’t see it listed her. It began I used to think that snow was white, And then I saw it blue one night...” I am now 75 and a poet myself, and I loved that poem!
little talk she was studing about beetles, bugs, and bees she was studing about were the insects live what wheather they have and what do they eat.
This is from The Big Golden Book of Poetry,85 Childhood Favorites, Golden Press New York 1947. TEA PARTY We had crackers And cambric tea And a roll divided Between us three; We had sugar And milk for cream (That tasted better Than it would seem) . We poured the tea From an elephant pot And it burned our tongues (Though it wasn't hot): And we felt sorry When Evelyn said, " My favorite doll Has a cold-in-the-head."
