Dear teachers,
Do not merely get your students to answer these simple poems and switch on to another. First build up a fine bridge between your students and the poem. Your students will walk over slowly into the poetic world. Let them have that fun with you.
Then let your students attempt the questions and finally make sure that you lead a healthy discussion. The poems I publish here create a background for you to guide them deeper into the poems.
Today, most of our teachers have become quite mechanical and do not let the students to peep into the literary world.
I was made to leave this remark here because I chanced to listen to some young lady teacher explaining a poem in her language class. She did not treat the poem the way she should have done it and roughly touched upon the surface of the poem for the sake of doing it.
Do justice to the poems and the poets by discussing them with your students. Listen to what your students speak of them. Let your students truly enjoy a poem. Do not steal that right from them. Be well prepared before discussing a poem with your students.
I humbly regret if I have hurt you my readers.
