Poetry is Serious Business
Poetry is not just a means to moral instruction. It is part of the humanities. Poetry is one of those human things with which Charlotte Mason wished children to establish a relationship. It is a deep expression of thought and feeling of which certain exceptional minds are particularly capable. Poetry comments on all human experiences, it is comprised of everything from war poems and epics, to psalms of worship, to love sonnets to delightful nonsense that trips off the tongue, to nursery rhymes. The subjects for poetry can be anything that people think about or sing about. We can read it as though we ourselves shared in those thoughts and those emotions. Karen Andreola |
*Poetry is one of those subjects that can be done in a short time, and can be done together as a family, or individually. You can also use it for narration if you wish, for writing class (learning the different poetry styles), and also for grammar purposes, or simply for pure enjoyment! It is something that can be done every day, or simply once or twice per week.
