French poetry

Alright, little one! So you want to know about French poetry? Well, poetry is kind of like music except instead of singing, people write beautiful words that rhyme and sound nice together.

In France, there are lots of famous poets like Victor Hugo and Charles Baudelaire. They wrote in a special style called "versification" where they had to follow certain rules like having a certain number of syllables in each line or having a special rhythm that sounds like a heartbeat.

French poetry also has something called "rhyme schemes" where the words at the end of each line have to sound the same. For example, if a line ends with the word "tree", the next line might end with "bee" or "see" so that they sound nice together.

Another thing about French poetry is that it can sometimes be pretty deep and emotional. Poets often write about love, nature, and even social issues like poverty and injustice.

So there you have it, little one! French poetry is like beautiful music made with words, with special rules and rhythms and nice sounding rhymes, that can express deep emotions and ideas.
