DANCE with the TREES: Poems and Painting for Children

This book is an excellent and easy way for anyone of any age to learn to write many different styles of poetry. With each poem, you will find the rules for writing it as well as a colorful watercolor painting that adds some fun, visual entertainment. If you have young children, they will also enjoy looking at these paintings. As a teacher, this is a great learning tool to provide for your students in the classroom. Having this book in your home would be an inspiration to try your hand at writing your own poems as well as making your children's learning experience easier and more enjoyable at any point in their education.
Read part one as a storybook, letting yourself flow from one poem and painting to the next. You will find yourself singing to the mountains, dancing with the trees, enjoying the sunrise, floating on bubbles and soaring through space while watching a white-winged horse. In part two, you will find many different types of poems: haiku, alphabet, free verse, diamante, cinquain, concrete, acrostic and others.
