The kids can get closer to poems if you show them humorous poetry that involves animals, fantastic creatures, funny situations, and silliness. There are so many surprises in the way poets rhyme their verses. Some of these poems have been written by kids and that’s what makes them so unique, this is fun from the very best!<\/p>\n
Children who have a strong sense of rhyme and rhyming abilities are more likely to be good readers and spellers. They may look at patterns within words and how they are produced by focusing on rhyming, which helps with word recognition and spelling. Short poetry is jam-packed with literary characteristics including characters, narrative organization, new vocabulary, and rhyming, all of which can benefit kids in developing core and advanced literacy abilities. Which are your favorite poems? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\nHis father was a whale,
\nWith a feather in his tail,
\nWho lived in the Greenland sea.
\nAnd his mother was a shark,
\nWho kept very dark
\nIn the Gulf of Caribee.
\nHis uncles were a skate,
\nAnd a little whitebait,
\nAnd a flounder and a chub beside;
\nAnd a lovely pickerel,
\nBoth a beauty and a belle,
\nHad promised for to be his bride.
\nYou may think these things are strange,
\nAnd they are a little change
\nFrom the ordinary run, \u2018tis true:
\nBut the queerest thing (to me)
\nO all appeared to be,
\nThat he was a kangaroo!<\/p>\n

\nThe shark is gentle as a kitten!
\nYet this I know about the shark:
\nHis bite is worser than his bark.<\/p>\nTHE JELLYFISH

\nI\u2019m not sellyfish!<\/p>\nSNEAKY BILL<\/h3>\n
\nI feel all the cashews from the mixed nut dishes;
\nI eat all the icing but I won\u2019t touch the cake,
\nWhat do you won\u2019t give me, I’ll go ahead and take.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tipsdemadre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/izzy-park-XKFiHQjTc_4-unsplash.jpg\")
I gobble up the cherries from everyone’s drinks,
\nAnd if there’s sausages I grab a dozen links;
\nI take both drumsticks if there\u2019s turkey or chicken,
\nAnd the biggest strawberries are what I am picking,
\nI make sure I get the finest chop on the plate,
\nAnd I\u2019ll the portions of anyone who’s late!<\/p>\n
\nI guess I’m pretty awful,
\nBut I do eat well!<\/p>\n
