Parnassian poets

Okay little one, did you know that some people really like writing poems? Yes, they do! And a long time ago, in France, there were some special poets called the parnassian poets. They were called that because they liked to write really fancy poems about things that were beautiful, like nature or love.

The parnassian poets thought that writing poems was a very serious and important thing. They believed that every word had to be chosen carefully and that the poems had to be perfect! They also liked to use a lot of imagery in their poems to make them even more pretty to read.

The parnassian poets were around in the 1800s, and they were known for writing really structured poetry. That means they followed certain rules when they wrote, like making sure they had the right number of syllables in each line.

So there you have it, little one! Parnassian poets were a group of fancy writers in France a long time ago who loved writing poems about beautiful things and making sure every word was just perfect.
