1660 in poetry

Okay, kiddo! So, let's talk about 1660 in poetry. It's like a big playdate for all the poems that were written during that year.

Now, imagine all the poems are like your friends. Some of them are happy and playful, while others might be sad or serious. But they all come together to play and have fun.

In 1660, there were a lot of poems written by adults. They wrote about all sorts of things, like nature, love, and history. They wanted to express themselves and make people feel things when they read their words.

One of the most famous poems from that year is called "Paradise Lost" by a man named John Milton. It's a really long poem about the Bible story of Adam and Eve and how they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden. But it's not all doom and gloom, because it also talks about hope and redemption.

Another really cool thing that happened in 1660 was that a woman named Katherine Philips became really popular. She wrote a lot of poems about friendship and love, and even had a group of friends who called themselves "The Matchless Orinda" after her nickname.

So, there you have it, little one! 1660 was a special year for poetry because a lot of talented people wrote beautiful words that are still enjoyed today.
