I write poetry for all age groups, but particularly for children.

I especially like to write my poems with rhyme and rhythm for three important reasons:

1    Children said that they liked poems written in this way and I wrote my work for their enjoyment first and foremost.

2    Rhythm and rhyme in poetry helps younger children develop phonemic awareness, a key literacy skill.

3     Rhythm and rhyme enhances poetry and makes it sparkle as a performance art.
