Poems About Children Biography
Poetry is a special kind of writing that uses the sound and rhythm of words to tell a story and to make the reader feel a certain way. These feelings are created through setting, mood, and tone. Setting is the time and place a story or poem takes place in. Mood and tone have to do with how the poem makes you feel. It could be a funny, silly poem or a dark, sad one.
Sometimes, poems rhyme, but sometimes they don’t. Sometimes, poems follow specific rules, like how many words are in each line, but not always. Some poems have several stanzas or sections, and other don't. Some poems have a specific number of syllables in each line, but some poems have no rules at all.
One of the best things about poetry is that there are so many kinds of poems. You can choose the type that works best for what you are writing about and how you feel. You can even create your own kind of poem.
Types of Poetry
Here are some different types of poems with examples of each one.
Alphabet
Alphabet poems have 26 lines, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. They are written about one theme. Sometimes they rhyme, but they don’t have to.
Here is an example of an alphabet poem:
Airplanes, airplanes go
Back and forth
Covering the landscape of our
Dear planet
Earth
Flying high above the
Ground to soaring new
Heights
In all types of weather
Just perfect or a
Kind of cloudy night
Lifting its wings
Moving through the air
Nice and peaceful
Over our heads
Pilots bring us
Quickly to our destinations
Rome, Japan, and other
Special places
Traveling is my
Ultimate favorite activity
Vanishing off to a new place
Wishing I could fly every day
X marks the spot I will go
Yelling with excitement
Zipping across the country
Cinquain
A cinquain is a five-line poem (like “cinco” for five in Spanish). The first line is one word, usually a noun, which is the main subject of the poem. The second line contains two adjectives that describe the topic. The third line has three verbs that relate to the topic. The fourth line has four words that can be a phrase or sentence telling something about the topic. The fifth line is a single word that is another word for the topic.
Here is an example of a cinquain:
Clowns
Silly, Funny
Running, jumping, laughing
They make the circus so much fun
Performers
Diamante
A diamante is similar to a cinquain, but it has seven lines. Diamante poems have the shape of a diamond. The first line is one noun. The second line is two adjectives. The third line has three participles (-ing verbs). The fourth line has four nouns. Then the pattern repeats the opposite direction. The fifth line has three participles (-ing verbs). The sixth line has two adjectives. The seventh line has one noun.

Definition
A definition poem defines something using metaphors or imagery. This is special language that paints a picture for the reader. It is much more interesting than a regular dictionary definition. Definition poems generally use free verse (which means that they have no regular rules for rhythm or meter).
Here is an example of a definition poem:
Dancing is beautiful movement
Dancing is freedom
It is a means of self-expression
Dance brings out our emotions
Dance is a form of communication
It allows your heart to speak
Dancing is poetry in motion
Dancing is free
Dancing is my life
Catalog
A catalog poem is a list of things. It can be any length and may rhyme or not.
Here is an example of a catalog poem about spring:
Spring
Snow melting
Air warming
Trees coming to life
Flowers budding
Birds singing
Baseball season starting
Everything turning green
My favorite time of year
Acrostic
An acrostic poem is a poem that is written around a word. The first letter of each line spells out that word.
Here is an acrostic poem:
Buddies for life
Every day
Staying up late
Talking on the phone for hours
Forever pals
Rarely separated
I am here for you for
Even when things are tough
No matter what happens
Dear friends we will remain
Siblings in spirit
Limerick
A limerick is a silly or humorous poem that follows a specific pattern. Lines 1, 2, and 5 are longer and rhyme with each other. Lines 3 and 4 are shorter and rhyme with each other.

There once was a clown named Bo
Who liked to put on a great show
He drove a small car
And he was a star
He did tricks that made us say “Oh!”

Here is a sample quatrain:
Swimming is a lot of fun
Hanging out all day in the sun
Splashing around in the pool
It’s the best way to stay cool
