Passion+for+Poetry

All kids are poets Do they know it? It's up to you and me  To help them see what they can be. It's time we focus on this ability, For if we neglect it, They won't respect it. ~Kristin Price ﻿One of my personal passions is poetry, especially children's poetry. I love to write children's poetry, read children's poetry, share children's poetry, but most of all I love to listen to poetry written by children. Many children do not know that they can write a poem, therefore I believe it is up to parents and teachers to inspire children to write poems and stories, to let their imaginations wander. Below you will find websites revolving around poetry. Some of these sites include lists of poems written for children and others include tips and pointers that will help students understand how to write poems. I have also included a few of the poems which I have written. Enjoy!
