Poetry is a word that strikes terror in the hearts of many creatively challenged readers, and often students come away with the impression that poems are dull and difficult to comprehend. In this accessible work, readers will be introduced to common terms to expect when reading poetry, including rhythm, rhyme, form, and more, with examples they can enjoy, such as nursery rhymes. This easy to understand introduction helps sort it all out and endeavors to spark an enthusiasm for the genre and inspiration to begin writing original poems for themselves.
