Answer:
A poem is a piece of writing that uses imaginative words to share ideas, emotions or
a story with the reader.
A person who writes a poem is called a poet.
Many poems have words or phrases that sound good together when they are read aloud.
Most poems for children rhyme or they have rhythm (just like music) or repetition.
But a poem doesn’t have to rhyme!
People have been writing poetry for over 4,000 years, but they were probably making
up verses to recite in front of audiences long before that.
In Ancient Greece, some poems were sung or performed with music – just like a song.
William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Christina Rossetti, John Keats, Robert Louis
Stevenson and Emily Dickinson are all famous poets from history. Have you heard of
them? Look out for Christina Rossetti’s What is Pink? poem in Storytime Issue 12 and
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Bed In Summer in Storytime Issue 3.
Modern children’s poets you might know include Michael Rosen (his poem Where
Broccoli Comes From was in Storytime Issue 13), Brian Moses (The Budgie Likes to
Boogie is in Storytime Issue 25), Benjamin Zephaniah, Jackie Kay, Roger McGough,
Allan Ahlberg, Roald Dahl, John Agard, Jack Prelutsky and Shel Silverstein. Can you
read a poem from each of the poets listed above or find their poetry being performed
on YouTube? Which one is your favourite and why?
