Poetry

Poems can make us slow down and think, they can make us feel happy or sad, they tell us about ourselves and the world in which we live. Poetry is a special way of sharing our thoughts and feelings with others. Did you know that all songs are poems!

If you've written a song or a poem and want to share it with others we'd love to publish it on Unschool~Kidz! Poems can be long or short, funny, sad, about anything subject at all! Please read about how to send us your poems below.

Me
by Chantelle Sinclair, 2002 (c)

When I was one
I had just begun

When I was two
I was nearly new

When I was three
I was hardly me

When I was four
I wasn't much more

When I was five
I was just alive

When I was six
I played with sticks

When I was seven
I dreamed about heaven

When I was eight
I swung on the gate

When I was nine
I climbed a pine

But now I am ten
I can write with a pen.
