Bóng đèn điện

Đầu tròn - hột vịt                                                                                                    

Đuôi tựa cuống cà                                                                                                    

Đêm mở mắt ra                                                                                                              

Cửa nhà bừng sáng

Mặt và Tóc

Mặt tóc - Anh em                                                                                                

Tóc cao sáng mặt                                                                                              

Mắt càng tinh nhanh                                                                                                  

Mặt sạch tóc xinh                                                                                                      

Ai nhìn cũng thích.

Chú đồng hồ

Tíc tắc, tíc tắc !                                                                                                      

Tay dài chỉ phút,                                                                                                     

Tay ngắn chỉ giờ                                                                                                

Thời gian không chờ                                                                                        

Tuổi xuân gắng học                                                                                           

Chú nhắc ! Chú nhắc !

Nhà văn Nguyễn Thanh

Đàn vịt xiêm con

Cốc cốc, ké ké                                                                                                      

Mổ vào mẻ thóc                                                                                              

Bầy con lóc chóc                                                                                                

Chày ùa theo mẹ.

Mỏ mẹ vàng khé                                                                                                

Mổ vào hạt thóc                                                                                                      

Đựng trong cái mẻ                                                                                 

Gọi con : Cốc Cốc !

Cái mồng đỏ hoe                                                                                        

Cặp mắt tròn xoe                                                                                                  

Vành miệng tẹt bét                                                                                                   

Mũi thở khọt khẹt

Áo mặt đen thui                                                                                            

Trổ vài hoa trắng                                                                                           

Bước đi nằng nặng                                                                                       

Thân thiện với người

Hân hấn một đàn                                                                                             

Không trội kém nhau                                                                                                    

Chúng đi tràn lan                                                                                                        

 Đuôi mẹ theo sau

Điểm vàng mình đen,                                                                                              

Chân mảnh khảnh bước                                                                                       

Lúc đứng khi chen                                                                                         

Nhảy xuống vũng nước

Rồi leo lên bãi                                                                                                         

 Líp nhíp rỉa lông                                                                                      

Bỗng ré sợ hải                                                                                              

Bóng diều trên không                                                                               

Chui vào cánh mẹ                                                                                                  

Sưởi ấm hương lòng

Cốc cốc ! Ké ké !                                                                                                      

Mẹ gọi đàn con                                                                                                            

Tiếng con kêu mẹ                                                                                     

Đến đám cỏ non...

Mẹ đứng một chân                                                                                                   

Ngoẻo đầu vào lưng                                                                                               

Lim dim đôi mắt                                                                                         

Nhìn con thấy thương !

**

Chiều lên dần dần                                                                                                                                              

Mẹ bước ung dung                                                                                                   

Hướng về tổ ấm                                                                                                            

Tình thương lâng lâng ...                                                                                          

Mẹ nằm giữ ổ                                                                                                           

Đàn con vây quanh                                                                                         

Ngả đầu ngẩng cổ                                                                                                  

Bên cánh mẹ lành !
