Not all rhyming, rhythmical language merits the label of poetry. Verse is a language form in which simple thoughts and stories are told in rhyme with a distinct beat and meter. Nursery rhymes are a good example of simple verses for children. Jingle is a catchy repetition of sound heard so often in commercials. The most important feature of verses and jingles is their strong rhyme and rhythm. They are not poetry because the content is light and even silly. In other words, works in verse are not always poems. However, the term poetry in this unit will refer to both a high quality of language and verses which would please children. This unit will include nursery rhymes, nonsense verse and riddles.
