Not Gonna Write Poems is a whimsical and quirky collection of poems written by Michael A. Lee. The author wrote these poems for his daughter. The collection is truly the perfect introduction to poetry that any child will adore!
In this humorous, and down to earth, collection of poems, the subjects include things like: Homework, Slime, Hair, and the Boogey Monster. All subjects that will no doubt appeal to all discerning young readers. All the poems are no more than a page long; therefore, even the most restless child can enjoy these. There are drawings for kids to accompany all the poems too.
One my favorite poems in this collection was The Gator Waiter. I found myself chucking at the idea of an alligator serving guests their food. Another favorite was King of the Castle. In this poem the King finds out he is not truly in charge, imagine that! I could go on, but in short, this is a funny, whimsical collection for children and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.
Not Gonna Write Poems will appeal to children of all ages, even those over grown children such as myself. I especially recommend this poetry collection for all adults who like to read to their children. I received a free copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
