Mistakes Made When Writing Childrens Poems About Animals

By Freida Michael


If one is just starting to write anything, it takes time and practice to get it right. This is also true when writing childrens poems about animals since this can be quite a challenge. Here is a look at the mistakes made when writing this type of poetry so that one can work their way towards creating the best work for kids.

For little children, poetry can teach them the sounds and behaviors of various creatures they see in the zoo, the farm or out in the wild. They can learn the sounds that cows and goats make and how they treat their young. They can also learn about lions and tigers and how they hunt for their food. This helps the child to learn about animals at an early age and have an appreciation for them.

Kids can also learn to write their own poetry concerning the creatures they are learning about. This is a great way for them to put their thoughts on paper and express how they feel about an animal. This does not have to be about what they have seen in a zoo or elsewhere. It could be a poem that reveals their favorite pet and what it means to them.

Some kids are not exposed to how an animal is treated and how to treat them. This is very important because cruelty to animals is never a good thing and the earlier a child learns this, the better. Poetry can and has been used by many as a way to bring awareness to certain issues, and this is no different when it comes to animals.

The best types of poetry have certain characteristics. Since kids like to have fun, a poem should also have a light-hearted nature when written. A child should be able to laugh when they hear it or read it and feel good doing so. These are the types of poetry that might be considered silly or weird to some adults, but it is great for a child's imagination.

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.

There is no musicality or rhyme to the poem. In order to hold a child's interest, one has to make sure that their poetry rhymes. This is one of the most important things to keep in mind because when a poem rhymes, a child tends to pay more attention. They can also guess what is about to happen as they listen because there is a pattern.

These are just some of the aspects of poetry for children and, in particular, those that talk about animals. There a number of poetry books for kids that one can find on the market. However, it is a good idea to let the child decide if that book is something that they find interesting or not.
