Homework Stew
I cooked my math book in a broth
and stirred it to a steaming froth.

Children's poetry is a fun and engaging way to teach children about language. It can be used to make children laugh or inspire them to chase their dreams. Some poems are silly, while others are motivational and teach essential life lessons. You don't have to be a child to enjoy children's poetry.
Many poets share their work on their social media accounts. We have collected some of our favorite children's poems from Instagram and Twitter with the poets' permission.

Where nobody says that I shouldn’t or should.
A winter’s tree

If I was a flag
I’d be flapping and raising
