The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Let Us

Let us run
Let us run
Through the fields in the sun
Where the grasses and flower stalks sway

Let us dance
Let us dance
Let us gambol and prance
In the glorious light of the day

Let us dream
Let us dream
Let us glimmer and gleam
Where our thoughts and our fancy take flight

Let us fly
Let us fly
Through the clouds in the sky
In the twinkling stars of the night

About the Writer


Erin Zampaglione

Erin spent 10 years as a scientist, running experiments and analyzing data in laboratories. Scientific writing can be very technical, but she always loved writing poetry for school publications, friends, and family. Now she is a full-time mom and first-time children’s writer. She hopes to approach these new roles in the same way a scientist would: by being curious and observant.
