Poems are structures formed by great thinkers. They're a harmonious combination of words that serve as a nice tool so that they can be interpreted and read by other people. In fact, children can learn to read short poems and manage their words from a young age.
It is a simple exercise for children, where you can have fun and exercise your memory. Anyone who practices their memory and retention will, over time, develop the development of cognitive abilities. In addition, he will learn to know how to decipher many of his metaphors and learn the values of life. Next, we dedicate to you 15 short poems so that children can listen and memorize.
15 short poems for children
1-“Caress” by Gabriela Mistral
Mother, mother, you kiss me
but I kiss you more
and the swarm of my kisses
won't even let you look...
If the bee enters the lily,
you don't feel its fluttering.
when you hide your son
You can't even hear him breathe...
I look at you, I look at you
without getting tired of looking,
and what a cute boy I see
to your eyes appear...
The pond copies everything
what you are looking at;
but you have girls
your son and nothing else.
the eyes that you gave me
I have to spend them
in following you through the valleys,
by the sky and by the sea...
2. “Butterfly of the Air” by Federico García Lorca
Butterfly of the air,
you're beautiful,
golden and green air butterfly.
Lamp light,
air butterfly,
Stay there, there, there!
You don't want to stop
you don't want to stop.
Air butterfly
golden and green.
Candle light,
air butterfly,
Stay there, there, there!
Stay here!
Butterfly, are you there?
3-“Have a good trip!” by Amado Nervo

I made a paper ship.
And in the fountain of my house
It is sailing very well.
My sister with her fan,
blows blows on him.
Very good trip!
Very good trip
paper ship!
4-“Yesterday I kept the Sun in a box” by Edith Vera

and the day became cloudy.
I then took it out of that box.
and the day became clear.
The willow that cried,
river.
5-“Twilight” by Baldomero Fernández Moreno

What a desire, however, to pray,

Autumn arrived and dry leaves fell away.

With the dry leaves they let me play.

Let's all play
to the local square.
We will run, we will jump,
we will sing, we will fly.
-Very short?
High, high on the swing
how the little bird flies.
Let's all play
to the local square.
Fly, balloon, rise, rise,
with the wind up to the cloud.
-Slowly?
Light, so light
how the little bird goes up.
Let's all play
to the local square.
We will sing,
we will believe,
will we jump?
We will fly!

and for being a great example
They proclaimed him as king.

he lets it escape
and upstream
has seen him swim.

the elephant cried
because I didn't want to sleep...
Sleep my little elephant,
that the moon is going to hear you...
Daddy elephant is nearby,
their mooing is heard in the mangrove;
sleep my little elephant,
that the moon is going to hear you...
the elephant cried
and raised his trunk to the wind…
it seemed like on the moon
he wiped his nose.
