Poetry can be a
form of literature, but is not a genre. It
can be found in many different genres. Poems tell a story and create a visual
image for the reader. As mentioned in the video a research study was done by
giving kids different kinds of poetry to see what they preferred. It showed
that kids prefer poems that tell a story (narrative poems). Two types of poems
they dislike are free verse and haiku. Kids love alliteration, funny poems,
poems that they can have familiar experiences with, animal poems, and
contemporary poems which are more familiar and something they recognize. Having
readers develop an appreciation for poetry that has no rhyme is the real
challenge. A good poem should allow readers
to interact and join in.
