Here's a poem from my children's book, A Fright in the Night and Other Rhymes. Hope you enjoy it :)

The Clumsy Giant

I’m just a gentle giant, 

but most would disagree.

Because when I’ve been spotted

they all decide to flee.

They yell, ‘Here comes the giant!’
and raise the town alarm.
They just don’t seem to understand
I don’t mean them any harm.

But people here are really small,
I squash them without knowing.
Mum says I should take more care
and look out where I’m going.

I told my Mum that I would try,
but still she wore a frown.
As soon as I had said those words
I’d knocked down half the town.
