Numbers and Poetry (Poetry Month 2025)

Numbers in poetry can be unique and can inspire your children to learn mathematics and can be used to describe what they see in nature. It can help them express themselves with numerical language as well as learning to write descriptions. Number poetry helps with the creative writing process and to organize their writings. Writing numbers in poetry can be quick and easy to write down. However, it can also be written in rhyme or no rhyming words.

You can write about one number or about several numbers all at once. It is easier to have a theme before you write your number poetry. Develop writing your poetry by using numbers, random words, and use your senses. Another tip is to write your poetry by organizing your thoughts in a cluster map for brainstorming. Organize and connect the numbers with the words that you want to use in your writing without rushing. Practice and revise your poetry before sharing it or reading it to your family members. 

April is the best time to practice writing poetry because it helps you to increase an awareness of your feelings, your emotions, and your inner thoughts.
