Welcome to another episode from Hanaz Writers, where Charlotte, a Year 2 teacher from London, explores the fascinating world of poetry. This April, in honour of National Poetry Month, she delves into why poems are written in different forms and what makes them such a unique form of expression.

From traditional rhyme schemes to the delicate syllable patterns of haikus, Charlotte walks you through how poetry breaks free from the usual rules of writing. She discusses poetic devices like metaphors, similes and onomatopoeia, and how these elements bring a poet's vision to life. You’ll also discover how modern songwriters and performers continue the tradition of storytelling through verse.

Whether you love a clever limerick or want to experiment with writing your own sonnet, this episode is your perfect introduction to the many shapes a poem can take.
