Alphabet poetry need not be rhythmic rather the flow of alphabet is given more importance. Here, we shall explain the different types of poems for kids. Make your kids understand in a simple manner so that they remember what they have studied.
Kids’ poems
A poetry composed for kids usually follows a rhythm, the lines rhyme with each other and they are easily understood by them. However, if they know the types of poems they are learning then it shall help them learn quickly and get a better insight at the tender age. Kids’ poems although might sound similar, are a lot different from one another. Finding out the difference becomes easy when they understand the variation clearly.

Climbing up the front steps just for fun.

Adorable and crunchy
Nice and tasty
Delicious and tempting
Yummy and best
I’m a Jilly Joe
I love to sail and row
I love flying kites
only to end up with fights
My friends hate me
For I’m a wannabe
I love myself
For I’m Jilly Joe
Listen…
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
And fall. ~ from ‘November Night’ by Adelaide Crapsey

As tasty as could be.

That brightens my day. ~ Dr. Maisie M

Over parched fields
Dreams wander on. ~ Basho.
I’m the fairy of my garden
My white wings and golden crown
make me charming.
I can weave magic
with my magic wand.

There was an Old Man with a flute,
A sarpint ran into his boot;
But he played day and night,
Till the sarpint took flight,
And avoided that man with a flute ~ Edward Lear

Why are you so sad?
Why aren’t you glad?
Did someone hurt you?
Oh, child!
I am sad because my family
has been cut down.
Nobody has hurt me yet!! ~ Shania
