He also used to write it but doesn’t want to write any more. We did poetry tea time too! He’s not into tea or cakes either any more. His favourite poem was Lines and Squares too! I’d read it, he’d act it out. That whole book is beautiful.
What I want to ask here actually is if any really good poems are available free online to print out. I’ve used all of the two children’s poetry books at the library here. I can’t afford to buy new books. No chance of poetry tea time with friends as friends don’t read or aren’t interested in reading. I know there are some poems online but it can take hours to trawl through and I don’t get time to do that. So, does anyone know of any great children’s poems online that I can print out please to give my son the opportunity to engage with poetry again? Thank you for this lovely article!

Read November in May! We just skip any ones that still don’t fit. The kids are likely to just pick it up and read from any page anyway. It’s soooo beautiful and not all the poems are seasonal so it totally doesn’t matter.

When you say “I love it so much I don’t even care, we just flip to the relevant month” do you mean you read May in May and ignore the seasonal differences, or do you mean you read November in May and ignore the date? And if so, have you run into many Christmas problems?
