Different Types of Poems for Kids

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.

Alphabet (ABC)
Each line in the poetry begins with subsequent letters of alphabets. The poetry need not be rhythmic rather the flow of alphabet is given more importance.

Example

A young girl was walking in the rain.
But her umbrella didn't open.
Couldn't run, couldn't hurry,
Dressed in new shoes,
Entered a house full of chocolates.
Found all her friends enjoying them.

Ballad
Ballad is a popular type of children's poem which is rhythmic. The poetry retells a historical event or one can also pen down personal experiences in the form of rhyme.

Example

Little Daddy Longlegs played in the sun,
Climbing up the front steps just for fun.
from Turtle Trouble
Tell me if you think you know
How to make a turtle go.
from Tomorrow's My Birthday
Tomorrow's my birthday and I'll be four
And I won't have to stay home anymore.
from Nature's Shows
Nature puts on little shows
Every time it rains or snows.
from It's Snow Wonder
It's snow wonder that we cheer
Snowflakes when they fall each year ~ Charles Ghigna

Acrostic
This is a typical form of poetry where the first letter of each line form a word itself. The letters are vertically aligned to form a word, which might be the subject of the poem.

Example

Crisp and colorful
Adorable and crunchy
Nice and tasty
Delicious and tempting
Yummy and best

Autobiographical
It's actually an essay about oneself written in the form of a poetry. Your kid can easily pen down an autobiographical poetry by writing about himself in rhythms.

Example

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

Cinquain
Cinquains are composed of 5 lines. Each successive line has more words than the previous one. The last line again has fewer words, generally re-establishing the concept given by the first line. The first line is a noun or subject of the poem. The lines that follow describe it. Here's an example of the American cinquain, a form developed by Adelaide Crapsey.

Example

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

Diamante
This is interesting. A diamante is a diamond shaped poem and it has nothing to do with the content. The following example shall make your concept clear.

Example

'Happy Birthday'
Birthday
Joy, Surprises
Cake, Candles, Balloons, Cards
Party, Laughter, Hugs & Kisses
Sharing, Gifts, Special, Wishes
Special Day,
What Fun! ~ Dr. Maisie M

Rhyming
Rhyming is a kind of poetry having a rhythmic pattern and flowing in the form of couplets, triplets and quatrains. The examples are cited below.

Example

'Couplets'
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are!

'Triplets'
I love my red balloon,
I want it to reach the moon,
To my grandpa very soon. ~ Dr. Maisie M

Color Poems
In this type of poem, you choose a color and relate that color to different types of events and characters.

Example

White is the milk
As tasty as could be.
White are the clouds
Like cotton balls in the sky.
So is the light white
That brightens my day. ~ Dr. Maisie M

Haiku
It's a kind of poem that evolved in Japan and is based mainly on nature. The poetry usually has three lines, wherein the first line contains 3 syllables, the second line 7 and the third line 5. Here's the example of a Haiku poem.

Example

Sick on a journey-
Over parched fields
Dreams wander on. ~ Basho.

Imagery
In this genre, the poet puts forth his/her imagination in the form of a poem. Kids find it amusing because they can pen down their imaginary thoughts randomly. Have a look.

Example

I'm the fairy of my garden
My white wings and golden crown
make me charming.
I can weave magic
with my magic wand.
I'm the fairy of my garden.

Limerick
It's a poetry of 5 lines. The last word of the first, second and the fifth line rhyme, and the last word of third and fourth line rhyme. This way the poetry goes.

Example

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

Question Poetry
As the name suggests, in this type of poetry several questions are asked to a person or an object. It can be a free verse (without rhyme) or rhyme. Have a look.

Example

Tree
Oh, Tree!
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

That was a comprehensive study about the different types of poems for kids. Try to make your kids understand gradually, as the list is quite long for the tender brain to absorb at one instance.

Famous Poems For Kids Biography

Poems for Kids have been written by many famous Australian poets, including ‘Banjo’ Paterson and C J Dennis. While many of Paterson’s best known poems, such as ‘A Bush Christening’, are about children and can be enjoyed by them, he also published a collection aimed specifically at children. The Animals Noah Forgot includes a Foreword describing how ‘a big white English swan, escaped from captivity, found himself swimming in an Australian waterhole fringed with giant gumtrees.’ In a tree nearby the swan sees a koala who tells him how he and other Australian animals decided not to go into the Arc with Noah and so survived the Biblical Great Flood by climbing trees or swimming. The poems that follow are supposedly told to the swan by the koala and his friend the platypus. They include ‘Weary Will’, about a wombat, ‘Fur and Feathers’, describing a supposed football game among the animals, and ‘High Explosive’ in which a dingo pup bites into a duck egg and gets a great fright when it explodes with a bang! There are also poems about the lung fish, white cockatoos, the bandicoot, the kookaburra and the emu, as well as others dealing with such typical bush subjects as shearing and bullock teams, all in humorous vein.

While not aimed specifically at a child audience, many other broadly comic poems that use a simple stanza structure, often with rhyme, can be enjoyed by children. Rhyll McMaster’s ‘This One for Horses’ describes some of the appropriate names that have been given to horses she has known. In his short poem, ‘Sick Kids’, Stephen K Kelen notes how, when ill in bed with the flu, his children can be remarkably ‘pleasant/as sweet as lemon cordial/until they get better.’ Many of the poems in John Jenkins’ 2008 collection entitled Growing Up with Mr Menzies would also be appreciated by child readers. Here Jenkins describes some of the things that happen to a boy, born in 1949, who grows up in the 1950s when Robert Menzies was Prime Minister of Australia. His poems deal with topics such as sibling rivalry, learning to read and how to deal with a school bully.

“Art is not escape, but a way of finding order in chaos, a way of confronting life.”
—Robert Hayden
Synopsis

Robert Hayden was born Asa Bundy Sheffey in Detroit on August 4, 1913. Hayden studied poetry at the University of Michigan, and went on to teaching at both Michigan University and Fisk University. Hayden was also one of the most celebrated African-American poets of his day, producing enduring works, including "The Middle Passage" and "Those Winter Sundays." He died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on February 25, 1980.

Early Life

Robert Hayden was born Asa Bundy Sheffey in Detroit, Michigan, on August 4, 1913. His parents, Ruth and Asa Sheffey, separated before his birth, and Hayden spent the majority of his childhood in the foster care system. His foster parents, Sue Ellen Westerfield and William Hayden, raised him in a low-income Detroit neighborhood known as Paradise Valley. Their home life was tumultuous. Hayden witnessed frequent verbal and physical bouts between his foster parents during his childhood years. The trauma he sustained as a result of this experience spurred periods of debilitating depression.

As a noticeably small child with poor vision, Hayden often found himself socially isolated. He found refuge in literature, developing interests in fiction and poetry. After graduating from high school, he attended Wayne State University (known as Detroit City College at the time). He left college in 1936 to begin working for the Federal Writers’ Project. In this post, Hayden spent time researching African-American history and folk life—subjects that would inspire and inform his poetic work.

Hayden remained with the Federal Writers' Project for two years. He spent the following years crafting his first volume of poetry, Heart-Shape in the Dust. The book was published in 1940. The same year, Hayden married Erma Inez Morris. Hayden converted to his wife’s religion—the Baha’i faith—shortly after their marriage. His beliefs influenced much of his work, and he helped to publicize the little-known faith.

Poetry Career

Hayden returned to higher education after the publication of his first book, enrolling at the University of Michigan. He then pursued a master's degree at Michigan. W.H. Auden, a poet and professor, became a major influence on Hayden's work, guiding him on issues of poetic form and technique. Hayden began his teaching career at Michigan after graduating. He took a job at Fisk University several years later, remaining there for more than 20 years. He eventually returned to Michigan in 1969, remaining in Ann Arbor until his death in 1980.

Over his years of teaching, Hayden continued to write and publish poetry, becoming one of the nation's foremost African-American poets. His work addressed the plight of African Americans, frequently invoking his childhood neighborhood, Paradise Valley. Hayden used black vernacular phrasing, building on the knowledge he had gained from the Federal Writers' Project and from his own experience. He also addressed explicitly political themes, such as the Vietnam War. The history of slavery and emancipation was a recurring theme, visible in poems including "Middle Passage" and "Frederick Douglass."

Despite his consistent interest in African-American historical and cultural themes, Hayden's status as a black author was uncertain. Hayden's Baha'i beliefs, which reject racial categorization, led him to proclaim himself an American poet rather than an African-American poet. This controversial statement alienated Hayden from some of his colleagues, friends and potential audience.

Final Years

While clouding his reputation somewhat, Hayden's feelings on race did not preclude critical success or academic esteem. Hayden received many honors for his poetry. He was elected to the American Academy of Poets in 1975. One year later (1976), he became the first African American to serve as the Library of Congress' consultant in poetry—a position that was later renamed to "poet laureate."

Robert Hayden died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on February 25, 1980, at the age of 66.

Poetry-writing Hints for Kids, Teachers, Anybody

1. In order to write poetry, read lots of poetry!

2. Write your words in regular sentences - then take out the unimportant words and maybe add a few important ones. (see ** below)

3. Experiment with the length of your lines. (see ** below)

4. Use comparisons. Tell what something reminds you of - maybe the moon reminds you of a pizza pan. You could say "The moon shines like a pizza pan."

5. Use personification. Pretend what you are writing about is human. "The wind munches the leaves..."

6. Let your poem do what it wants. Don't try to hold it too tightly to the subject you started with. Let it lead you where it wants to go.

7. Try "being" what you want to write about. Pretend you are a cat... a car... a basketball...

8. Keep a journal.

9. Keep paper and pencil with you at all times.

10. Keep trying!

11. Don't try too hard. Just write. It doesn't have to be "good". But every once in a while, it may be!

12. Use repetition. Or don't.

13. Use rhyme. Or don't.

14. Use lively verbs.

15. Use interesting words, but don't strain too hard for the unusual.

16. Love words!

17. Write about what you really want to write about.

18. Revise - but not too much.

19. Write freely. You can always change it later.

20. See hint number one!

(**) If, at first, you can’t make your writing sound like a poem, try writing your idea out in regular sentences. Then -- cut, cut, cut! Leaving out unnecessary words is a big part of making your writing sound like a poem instead of a story.

For instance:

You could change: It is snowing this morning.

To: Snow this morning

You could change: There are lots of red cardinals at our bird feeder.

To: Our bird feeder is red with cardinals

You’ve gone from 15 to 10 words.

Now, read it out loud, and leave out that word “is”:

Snow, this morning –

Our bird feeder

red with cardinals

Only nine words – and it sounds more like a poem!

Also – putting three words on each line gives it a

sort of unity . . .and it makes it look like a poem, too.

Some Things to Remember:

A poem doesn’t have to be long.

A poem doesn’t have to be serious.

A poem doesn’t have to be about important things.

A poem doesn’t have to rhyme.

A poem doesn’t have to be shown to anybody.

A poem doesn’t have to be funny.

A poem doesn’t have to have a message.

BUT…

A poem can be any of these things, and many more.

The only thing a poem really has to do, is to please you, the writer, and make you glad that you wrote it.

Some Ways to Catch a Poem

Fool around with words. Lots of times when I want to write but am having trouble getting started I just begin fooling around with words. I make word lists about certain subjects --maybe name as many animals as I can, list all the words about the beach that I can think of, or write down whatever words come into my head. Sometimes I make lists of rhyming words or words that alliterate.. Doing these things often loosens me up so that suddenly a poem starts!

Just write. Don’t worry about making a “good” poem. Just write. Sometimes, what you write will almost be a poem with no more work. Other times, you can go over what you’ve written later on and turn it into a poem. Sometimes, a few words or sentences will pop out at you and those few words or sentences will make the start (or the middle or the end) of a new poem.

Sit Quietly. Sometimes when you want to write a poem it helps to just sit quietly and wait for a poem-idea to appear. Sit outside, or look out the window, or around your room. Pretend you are a bird-watcher or a fisherman. Be attentive but relaxed. When you “see” a poem starting in your mind or feel the tug of a poem wanting to be written, capture it gently. Try writing it slowly, lazily.

Take a walk. Often, poetry ideas come to me when I am walking. Or while I am doing the dishes, gardening, straightening the house. I’ve had them come when I was painting, weaving a basket, working with clay. It seems as if doing something else --not thinking about poetry --often inspires poems to make an appearance.

Narrative Poems For Kids Biography

Source(google.com.pk)

Narrative poetry is a form of poetry that tells a story, often making use of the voices of a narrator and characters as well; the entire story is usually written in metred verse. The poems that make up this genre may be short or long, and the story it relates to may be complex. It is usually dramatic, with objectives, diverse characters, and metre.[1] Narrative poems include epics, ballads, idylls, and lays.

Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse. An example of this is The Ring and the Book by Robert Browning. In terms of narrative poetry, a romance is a narrative poem that tells a story of chivalry. Examples include the Romance of the Rose or Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Although these examples use medieval and Arthurian materials, romances may also tell stories from classical mythology.

Shorter narrative poems are often similar in style to the short story. Sometimes these short narratives are collected into interrelated groups, as with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Some literatures contain prose narratives that include poems and poetic interludes; much Old Irish poetry is contained within prose narratives, and the Old Norse sagas include both incidental poetry and the biographies of poets. An example is "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert Service.

The Oral Tradition predates essentially all other modern forms of communication. For literally thousands of years, people groups accurately passed on their history through the Oral Tradition from generation to generation. As a clear example and the oldest one comes from Ancient India, the Vedic Chants, which are often considered the oldest unbroken oral tradition in existence today. In addition one of the most notable was the ancient Hebrews, people of the Middle East, they were taught and passed on the stories of God. Surprisingly this tradition lives on even today through such efforts as SimplyTheStory.org, for example, that trains indigenous story tellers in over 115 countries worldwide. The Poetry in the Bible is called the Psalms that capture stories of conquest, failure, confession, and more. Some of it is Narrative in nature.

Historically, much of poetry has its source in an oral tradition: in more recent times the Scots and English ballads, the tales of Robin Hood, of Iskandar, and various Baltic and Slavic heroic poems all were originally intended for recitation, rather than reading. In many cultures, there remains a lively tradition of the recitation of traditional tales in verse formativeness. It has been suggested that some of the distinctive features that distinguish poetry from prose, such as metre, alliteration, and kennings, at one time served as memory aids that allowed the bards who recited traditional tales to reconstruct them from memory.[2]

A Narrative Poem usually tells a story using a poetic theme. Epic poems are very vital to narrative poems, although it is thought that narrative poems were created to explain oral traditions. The focus of narrative poetry is often the pros and cons of life.
