I have seen children reciting poems with fervor and passion given that they really understand and enjoy the meaning of the poem. This is where the art of writing poetry for children comes into play because you have to be careful about the context and easiness of the words that you are using in the poem.
I have found this particularly difficult and limiting because I have never written poems for kids in the past–it’s only recently that I started writing these short and small poems geared towards children because my daughter needed them in her school for many activities.
Below is a poem which is bit lengthy and may be suitable for a class 1 or class 2 student. Feel free to use it if you like it.
Poem on Winter Season
____________________
सर्दी के ये दिन बड़े प्यारे होते हैं
रजाई ले के रात को सारे सोते हैं
धूप में बैठ कर
बड़ा मज़ा आता है
सब्ज़ी वाला हर दिन
नई सब्ज़ी लाता है
टोपी कोटी डाल कर
बड़ा मज़ा आता है
मोटी लकड़ी जाल कर
बड़ा मज़ा आता है
जाड़े के दिन आये रे भईया
जाड़े के दिन आये
गाजर, मूली और गोभी
सभी खेतों में बोते हैं
सर्दी के ये दिन बड़े प्यारे होते हैं
