Poetry for the Seasons

On this page, you will find links to various poems which are particularly seasonal, either in terms of liturigal seasons or yearly (weatherly) seasons. The seasonal poems tend to be for younger children, but not always.

Adding poems to the website has been a large task and we are slow in completing it, so we ask for your patience.

 The Season of Great Lent

We used these poems as a means of instruction concerning the temptations that we all encounter. Often, they led to some good discussion about temptations. Of course, they are instructive for any time of the year.
