It was an absolute joy and pleasure to conduct my maiden poetry workshop for my son’s elementary class this Tuesday on December 15, 2020. Poetry was one of the concepts they were learning this week and they invited me as a guest speaker for the same.
I had a fun time interacting with kids for an entire duration of 90 minutes and as part of the workshop they ended up creating the acrostic poems.We had a fun time learning about the origin of the word poet and the origins of poetry and its various forms.They were thrilled to know about current US Poet Laureate ad the National Poetry Month.
Children are beautiful messengers of love, joy, and happiness and I was blown away by their creative excellence. They all managed to create beautiful, meaningful, and profound acrostic poems in a duration of 15 minutes.
I’m sharing few shapshots of it as published in the school newsletter.
Happy Poetry!!

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

Maybe you would like to do what Megha did and share the joy of poetry with elementary children – learn how to write Elfchens and teach children how to do it too!! Chuck

Congratulations! Wow! So cool. I got my love for poetry from my Senior English Teacher!!
Here is something that is easy to teach, if you get another chance. Teach them about how to write Elfchens.
Very easy, short, fun but can be so moving!
