"there was a little girl"
tomie depaola's mother goose
This poem is one of my own earliest memories of a nursery rhyme. With my own curly hair, this nursery rhyme was recited to me pretty often as a reminder and as a call to behave.

"be kind to dumb animals"
limerick
An example of pure silliness with a nonsense poem. I can see a lot of elementary students laughing about this one.

the basics
- compactness & careful selection of words = emotional response
- regular rhythm = meter = indication of tone & clarifies meaning
- sound patterns (rhymes) = hallmark but NOT REQUIRED!

"Elevator"
narrative poetry
A poem need not be long to say so much! There's so much wrapped into these 40 words and the accompanying image. On the surface, it's just a simple story about a girl reading on an elevator that gets stuck on the way up to her apartment. But, at another level, the "few and artfully chosen words" tell a story of a girl who is using education as a means of moving up in the world and out of the projects that she's growing up in.
