FOR ALL AGES
If your household is feeling a little blue at the moment, it's definitely time to provide some excellent and cheesy content to brighten up your day.
The origins of 'roses are red, violets are blue' poems and jokes can be traced back as far as 1590 from a poem by Edmund Spenser, but the Valentine's poems you're probably most familiar with come from a collection of nursery rhymes written in the 1700s by Joseph Ritson. These poems have been used as a sign of love and affection for hundreds of years.
Whether you're looking to share a sweet poem with your child to let them know you love them or want to teach them appropriately cheeky poems, we're sure this list will provide you with plenty of chuckles.
These cute poems are best used when you're looking to say "I love you" to your kids. They're perfect for reminding your loved ones you think the world of them.
