limericks are children's favored form.

enthusiasm declines as children get older
favor contemporary over traditional poems

lively poems with exciting meters and rhythms

allow children to expand their imaginations
should tell simple stories and introduce stirring scenes of action
should not have been written down to children's supposed level
allow children to interpret, to feel and to put themselves into the poems
should delight children, say something to them, enhance their egos, strike happy recollections, tickle their funny bones, encourage them to explore
should be good enough to stand up under repeated readings
