In today's post, we've separated 5 famous poems to read with children, we hope you like it:

1. The Blue Boy – Cecília Meireles
the boy wants a donkey
to walk around.
A gentle donkey,
don't run or jump,
but who knows how to talk.

the boy wants a donkey
who knows how to say
the name of the rivers,
of the mountains, of the flowers,
– of everything that appears.

the boy wants a donkey
who knows how to invent beautiful stories
with people and animals
and with little boats at sea.

And the two will go out into the world
which is like a garden
just wider
and maybe longer
and that it has no end.

(Whoever knows of a donkey like that,
can write
to Rua das Casas,
Number of Ports,
to the Blue Boy who cannot read.)

2. Point of View – Pedro Bandeira
I'm small, they tell me,
and I get very angry.
I have to look at everyone
with the chin up.

But if ant spoke
and see me from the ground,
was going to say, for sure:
— Good God, how big!

3. The door – Vinicius de Moraes
I'm made of wood
wood, dead matter
there is nothing in the world
more alive than a door

I open it slowly
to pass the little boy
I open very carefully
to pass the boyfriend

I open very pleasantly
To pass the cook
I open it suddenly
to pass the captain

I close the front of the house
I close the front of the barracks
I close everything in the world
I only live open in the sky!

4. Contra poem – Mario Quintana

All these that are there
hindering my path,
They will pass.
I bird!

5. Children's Rights – Ruth Rocha
every child in the world
It must be well protected
Against the rigors of time
Against the rigors of life.

Be healthy and not be hungry
Be confident and study.

No question of agreeing

Get a beautiful gift,
Hear Grandfather Stories.
