I like poems written for children as well, and it is the rhymes that I think fascinates us with poetry as children. My love of poetry started with the famous poem 'The Night Before Christmas' by Clement Clark Moore. My grandmother used to read it to me every Christmas Eve... that memory still makes me smile to this day. I made a YouTube reading of it if you want to hear it.

I also enjoyed your translation of the Chinese rhyming quatrain kaixin@kaixin

The bright sun falls behind the mountains;
The Yellow River flows to the sea. (i:)
To see farther into the distance.
Step one story higher, you will see.

Lovely imagery.

Thank you for sharing these poems that I otherwise would probably not easily discover 🙂
