Poetry Books or Children - Junior High and Up KEYWORDS: Poetry, verse

Poetry is a great way to explore an object, topic, or theme. With a little guidance, readers will recognize the forms of poetry, such as narrative or free verse, as well as the elements of poetry, such as imagery, figurative language (for example, metaphor or personification) and rhythm, rhyme, and repetition. Whether read alone or in a group, poems are best read aloud!
