Poetry for Children

Where Would You Go?

If you had a teleportation device -
could go where you like, in the roll of a dice,
where would you go? What would you do,
with everything, everywhere open to you?

Who would you go with? What would you see?
Go on, go wild! Plan the trip of your dreams.

Would you swim with wild dolphins or laze on the sand?
Would you camp in the forest or stay somewhere grand?
Would you visit a city and take in the art?
With the world at your fingertips, where would you start?

Who would you go with? What would you see?
Go on, go wild! Plan the trip of your dreams.

Would you climb up a mountain or dive the deep sea?
Would you go somewhere snowy to snowboard or ski?
Would you go on safari or walk the Great Wall?
What place would you choose when faced with it all?

Who would you go with? What would you see?
Go on, go wild! Plan the trip of your dreams.
