I’ve done a companion lens to the Funny Poems one I did a few days ago. As it’s now my most popular lens, and that’s in just 3 days since it was published, I’m glad I started the new one, Classic Poems for Kids straightaway.

It’s got some of the poems I loved as a child like Sea Fever, the Smuggler’s Song and The Donkey. Although they were all written many years ago, I think they have really stood the test of time and are enjoyed by children today. As with the funny poems, it’s the rhythm and rhymes that makes them so popular. Children don’t generally want experimental poetry!
