By Freida Michael


Poetry is a good way for children to learn what life is and to express themselves. Childrens poems about animals can be imaginative, fun and educational as well. For young children, they have to be simple enough for them to understand and enjoy. This article will look at the different types of poetry that have been created for kids concerning animals real or imaginary.

One should always be ready to teach in any form that might be applicable to children. Poetry is just one of many tools that can be used to teach children about the world of animals. They can learn many of these different creatures in terms of how they live their daily lives or they can learn by using the imagination when an animal is placed in a fantasy situation.

A person can also teach a child how to write their own poetry about their favorite pet. They can be taught the basic elements of how to construct a poem and then use what they have been given to talk about how they feel. If a child is going through a rough time, this can be very therapeutic for them, like when they lost a pet dog or cat that they really loved.

Besides learning about the animals themselves, kids can also be taught about the suffering that an animal might be going through. There are a number of people who use the opportunity to write animal poetry for kids that explains to them the dangers that certain species have to endure. They teach them what they can do in their own way to make things better.

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.

The length of the poem should also be in line with how long a child's attentions span is at any given moment. Poetry that is short and to the point is great for kids because they will not be lost with too many words. It takes skill to be able to write something that is engaging in a few lines where a child can be entertained but at the same time learn a lesson.

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.
