We sing poems to pre-schoolers, wonder why we do that? More wonder why we do not sing as kids grow up? Why we poetry is left to some English Text book chapters ?
Last week explored poetry, we began with a question
What is poetry?”
Some said “rhythmic expression of words, an art, expression of feelings, just few lines, about any topic,
Next was “Why we need poetry?
Some said “to feel good, to be with it when you are alone, to enjoy rhythm”.
We read many poems and tried finding what is the poet trying to say? We read poems to find that one can write on any topic!
We started with making one poem on self, frame work of words helped in making poem and we were pleasantly surprised with self..we can also write POEM!!!

Some more poems we wrote during the day..
The wind was gazing, and my day was passing.
When the wind was hustling, the dust I swept was dusting
when the wind was howling, I felt relaxing
As the wind was doing it own goal, so was I.
As the wind blowed, I glowed!
As it goes from one side to another, my pen goes from one end to another on my page
As it makes sound, I dropped the plate.
I am so happy, don’t make me think, it’s a storm
Its so soft, I don’t feel like scratching my face
I feel happy, don’t make me cry
Its so cold, but don’t put me in juggling pot.
Hey! wind go away, joining was a wonderful day
Silence was no today
Happy snacks along the day
Football was a crazy game
now come back to me my wonderful day
discussion with jury was nice day
hey hey wind don’t go away
it was simple to write…wonder why we do not write more often?
