Children's poetry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Children's poetry is poetry written for or appropriate for children. The category includes folk poetry (for example, Mother Goose rhymes); poetry written intentionally for young people (e.g. Shel Silverstein); poetry written originally for adults, but appropriate for young people (Ogden Nash); and poems taken form prose works (Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling).
