poems

This April is the twentieth anniversary of National Poetry Month! For many of us, the love and appreciation of poetry started back when we were children first learning to read. The staff here at Writer’s Relief has compiled a list of our favorite classic and contemporary poems, nursery rhymes, and rhyming books from childhood.

“Getting that first poem published was the hardest threshold to cross. My team at Writer’s Relief kept encouraging me…then came the acceptance! We celebrated…then I continued writing, and Writer’s Relief continued doing the wonderful work they do!”

—King Grossman, Writer
