Rhymes are fun, and we explored them to the fullest at Yashasvi Vachhani’s workshop, The Poetry Playground.
From shedding our serious skins and getting silly to creating word clouds and writing poetry, we did so much that the chat was buzzing with activity last evening. We worked with simple, silly rhymes, but noticed how something happens even in the simplest and silliest of poems. Sometimes, logic drives the poem; at other times, it’s sounds and shapes.
In the course of one hour, we read poetry by Sampurna Chattarji, Laura Elizabeth Richards, Sukumar Ray and Alok Bhalla, and more! We made up words, wrote rhymes, and all in all, had loads of fun.
A workshop with a guest is a wonderful way to keep the energy high at my writing programme, and a workshop on poetry while we’re doing our poetry module is just perfect. The next guest session is a little over a month away. Watch this space for more details, coming very soon!
