Love Poems for Kids

Love poems for kids are gaining popularity these days. These love poems are different from the ones written for the elderly.

The journey from innocence to maturity takes several years and the love poems for kids are created keeping this in mind.

Unlike love poems for the "older kids" which is a concoction of joy, sorrow, jealousy, loss, and anger etc, the love poems which are written for kids have more humor in them.

The topics around which love poems for kids revolve include the following -

• Animals
• Pets
• Flowers
• Nature
• The celestial bodies like sun, moon, stars etc
• Love for parents
• Love for grandparents
• Love for siblings etc

Love poems for kids are understandable and easy

It has been observed that the love poems that are written for kids are usually graspable or easy to understand. They are written using simple words and sentences.

An important aspect of the love poems for kids is that the sentences are devoid of any words that have double meaning, a trait that is observed in poems written for adults. For instance, in Lord Byron's romantic poem "She Walks in Beauty", there is a line -

"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies".

Here the poet is addressing his lady love by comparing her to the night, the cloud and the skies. But in case of love poems for kids, a poet will not use such sentences. They are comparatively simpler and easier for the kids to understand.

Subject of love poems for kids have topics that fascinate them

In majority of the cases, it is seen that all that interests and fascinates kids become the subject of the love poems for kids. For example, a child is close to his grandparents in most cases. So, love poems for kids addressed to a grandparent can be as follows -

"Dear Grandma, you're so special
You do such nice things for me;
You love me just the way I am;
You make me happy as can be!

I've got the best grandma in the world!
I love you."

It reflects innocence and simplicity. This kid's love poem has been written by Joanna Fuchs.

Similarly, the subject of the love poem written for kids can be his mother, father, sister, brother, teachers, and friends etc.

Another love poem for children in which a child gets excited to see 2 little puppies playing with each other and loves the sight of it. The following lines are indicative of the same. This poem has been written by Linda Leavers. Here it goes,

"I love to see
Two lil puppies
Rubbing noses
And cuddling"

The next one has been written by a kid for her sister whom she loved very much. 

Roses are red and violets are blue,
Angels like my sister are very few.
Thanks for your care and thanks for the love,
Please always pamper me like a dove.

So, kids love to read poems that have subjects that interest them. It will be unfair to expect a child to love a poem which describes the meaning of love and associating it with nature, the beloved and so forth.

The most innocent poem was written by a 6 year old kid for his mother. The poem was like this :

Thankyou God, for giving me the best mom,

She never scolds me, she is so calm.
