Over fifty original poems intended for young people (ages about eight to young teens) to encourage them to enjoy and engage with poetry. Some poems rhyme, some don't. Some have formal structures, some don't. There are poems about birds/trees/landscapes, humour, the mind and loss. You will find, inter alia, haiku, rondel, villanelle, sonnet, blank verse and free verse. The earlier poems are the more straight-forward - greater intensity develops later.
