Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe—
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"

Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

—from Wynken, Blynken and Nod, by Eugene Field

My heart is breaking, I just discovered a story shared by a 14 year old girl who connected with my poem at
@FamFriendPoems
I wrote it for men's mental health week, never imagining it would speak to the young. Silly me! Write your words wisely, for you never know where they go ... #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #childrenspoetry #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters

And here’s the first words of Sophie’s to be published, from the same year.

#poetry #PoetryBooks #ChildrensPoetry #writing

A poem in an anthology of children’s poetry. It’s called Pointing and it goes: The woman is thin. Pointing to what could be; Anything, up in the sky; Pointing with all of her body; her feet; her waist; her hair; all the way up to her finger; large and motionless. What is she pointing at? Nobody knows; her expression shows; want and need facing upwards; her dress long and thin; her hair hanging, poised; waiting for something to happen; something terrible? Something wonderful? Something historic? Something special? Her hands were; big and lumpy; one pointing; one clutching her heart. At the end it says “Sophie Rickard (9), Whalley CE Primary School, Whalley, Blackburn, Lancs.The front cover of Cadbury’s Seventh Book of Children’s Poetry, which is deep purple like a chocolate bar with a fun child’s painting of a day out in a safari park. Some people are driving through a green landscape with giraffe and lions and sheep (worryingly in the same enclosure) in a red car.
