Coming Up With Suitable Childrens Poems

By Carmella Watts


The joy of many parents is to see their children grow and develop each area of their life as they grow. One critical part for this is language; both spoken and written. Here, it calls for introduction and use of childrens poems. These are compositions meant for kids with a poetic format being used to come up with them. They are of two formats; printed and audio.

When writing these poems, one has to be in a position to understand the needs for kids of various age groups. This is because; he or she is dealing with young ones in mind who need active participation in anything that excites them as a way of development. In this case, there are a number of tips which have been recommended for the poets to consider when coming up with such pieces of writing.

The rhyming aspect is the first one to consider. This is actual matching of words with similar sounds at the end of every line. It brings out the musical aspect which they can hum to whenever they are either reading or listening to. Besides, this is the best, integral part to use for pronunciation whenever they go through the entire poem. They will be able to distinguish various sounds for each word.

The poet should consider the age groups from the wider aspect of kids. There are those who are still at home and those going to school. These two cannot use the same poetic materials due to slight difference in age. He or she needs to select a target when coming up with any of this literature. A clear basis for this has its foundation on religious views and general aspects.

Tip number three comes in handy on the basis of a topic selection. This is the summary of the entire writing and it is the determiner of the difference worth noting. It will determine the angle taken and whether the kids will be attracted to reading or listening to whatever has been written. Usually, one needs to choose a title that evokes the feelings of any child by telling the story in poetic form.

Another basis for writing these scripts is that of using pronouns. These ones clearly point at the angle on whether to involve the reader or not. For example, the use of first persona gives the kids a clear involvement in the entire script thus; they feel as the main actors. For the aspect of portraying animals, the third persona is suitable for use.

Apart from pronouns, these kids can feel part of this through attitudes and feelings used by the writer. This piece of writing can be one that portrays joy, sorrow, support, anonymity and also rage. At this point, it is better for the writer to avoid some that will have a bad influence on them especially that of grief and rage.

All these tips count a lot in drafting childrens poems. The benefit exhibited is that of growth and maturity when it comes to uttering the words correctly. With an early enhancer, they grow up knowing the right pronunciations and this process continues as they grow. This makes these poems be vital for use.
