Poetry
A poem is a piece of writing that uses imaginative words to share ideas, emotions or a story with the reader.
A person who writes a poem is called a poet. Many poems have words or phrases that sound good together when they are read aloud. Most poems for children rhyme or they have rhythm ( just like music) or repetition. But a poem doesn’t have to rhyme! People have been writing poetry for over 4,000 years, but they were probably making up verses to recite in front of audiences long before that. In Ancient Greece, some poems were sung or performed with music – just like a song. |
