By Freida Michael


If a person wants to write poetry for kids there are certain things that need to be taken into consideration. They have to make sure that what they write is not too complicated and that it is fun so that the children can understand what they are saying. Here is a look how to write childrens poems about animals that are educational and entertaining at the same time.

For little children, poetry can teach them the sounds and behaviors of various creatures they see in the zoo, the farm or out in the wild. They can learn the sounds that cows and goats make and how they treat their young. They can also learn about lions and tigers and how they hunt for their food. This helps the child to learn about animals at an early age and have an appreciation for them.

Children are not encourage to write their own poetry. Even though this article is about writing for children, there is no one better to get ideas from than children themselves. They can best express how they really feel about their favorite pet if they are given the tools on how to create a poem that is true to their heart.

Some kids are not exposed to how an animal is treated and how to treat them. This is very important because cruelty to animals is never a good thing and the earlier a child learns this, the better. Poetry can and has been used by many as a way to bring awareness to certain issues, and this is no different when it comes to animals.

To write poetry for children, there are a few things to keep in mind. A person has to think in terms of what children want and how they feel about life in general. Having fun is the theme of a child's life, therefore poetry should be fun for them as well. If it is not funny in some way that they can appreciate then they will lose interest.

One should also consider the attention span of children, which is usually very short. Therefore, to hold their interest long enough, it is a good idea to have poetry that is short and interesting at the same time. A long, boring poem can create restlessness and make them wish they were outside playing on the swings or in a jungle gym. However, each child is different and can surprise you from time to time.

Another way to hold the attention of children with poetry is for it to rhyme. When a poem rhymes, there is a musical quality to it even though it is not a song. Rhyming also has a pattern which can be followed by the children, helping them to guess what follows next. This makes it fun and exciting for to listen to poetry and even inspire them make one of their own.

These are just a few things to keep in mind when writing poetry for children. While they might have different taste in terms of what is funny and if something is interesting or not, they are all pretty much the same on a basic level. Sometimes it helps to think back to when you were a child to help construct poetry for children.
