If homeschoolers had a “Poet Laureate,” it surely would be the early 20th century poet Edgar Guest! He wrote about the joys of home and family, motherhood and fatherhood, the virtues of honest labor and plain living. His poems really make you feel the love of family and a true appreciation of poetry. His down-to-earth verse is easy to read with traditional rhyme and rhythm – no “hifalutin” free verse or hidden meanings. Download a free 49-page PDF e-book of poems by Edgar Guest at http://www.knowledgehouse.info/HomePoems.pdf. It’s a wonderful resource for reading aloud, memorization, recitation, copywork, or just for fun. Enjoy!
