. . . Here ensues, a brief summary of the plot, and an anthropological tracing of how the tale was born . . . . . . A lover of the English language, of all things, whilst I was looking-up the etymology of the word / interjection 'boo' I came across this passage written in the late 19th c., by Walter W. Skeat, which not only creates the opening of my story, but also encapsulates it's intended moral, & effect: "To be able to say Bo! (sic) to a goose is to be not quite destitute of courage, to have an inkling of spirit, and was probably in the first instance used of children. A little boy who comes across some geese suddenly will find himself hissed at immediately, and a great demonstration of defiance made by them, but if he can pluck up heart to cry 'bo!' loudly and advance upon them, they will retire defeated. The word 'bo' is clearly selected for the sake of the explosiveness of its first letter and the openness and loudness of its vowel" Such, is the idea of this story: a young boy, who is unpopular, and habitually shy, at last plucks up his courage, and his first act of retribution, is to crie 'Boo!' at a gaggle of geese; he then proceeds to crie 'Boo!' in several other tricky situations, each time, becoming stronger in heart, and taller in courage.

A collection of fun poems, tall tales, and other such nonsense.

Step softly. Take a breath. Open your heart. A quiet adventure is waiting, one that will walk with you through the gentle light of bravery. The Journey of Courage is not just a poem-it's a tapestry of small moments, of whispers and wonders, where courage grows quietly, hidden in the spaces between fear and hope. Through rhythmic lines and flowing stanzas, it invites young readers to pause, imagine, and feel: The strength that hides in a single step forward. The magic in trying again, even when it feels impossible. The wonder that blooms when kindness and hope meet courage. Every verse is a gentle reminder that bravery comes in many forms. It can be soft as a whisper, steady as a heartbeat, and powerful enough to carry a world of dreams within it. This poem celebrates the unseen heroes in everyday life, the brave hearts that shine quietly, and the adventures that grow from believing in yourself. Perfect for children learning the beauty of resilience, for readers who treasure imagination and reflection, and for anyone who needs a gentle nudge to take the next small step forward. ✨ Coming soon on Amazon & Kindle ✨

This is a manuscript of children's poems that I wrote several years ago. All poems were written to capture the magic of summer nights. Especially through the eyes of children. They vary in style, and go in sequence from dusk to dawn. They were written to be read to children, and also enjoyed by parents. I plan to submit this to publishers because I believe children should be exposed to beautiful words and imagery. I also hope to one day have each poem beautifully illustrated to enhance the experience.
