To the child of today, the world of flowers and animals, trees, toys and people have greater significance than the elusive world of elves and fairies. Let him seek charms and miracles in the streets and country scenes, the beaches he traverses and the people he meets. Let him hear music in the sighing of the winds, the rustle of the leaves, the whirring of the wheels and, of course, in the weaving of words.
Gone are the days, when poetry was used as a mere tool for memory training, through the mechanical repeti-tion of hundreds of lines. The sole purpose of learning poetry today in the elementary classes is to enjoy it. The music of words, the thrill of the galloping rhymes and the smooth rhythm should create an atmosphere which the child loves, providing him with an exhilarating sense of aesthetic pleasure. From such a level, it is possible to lead the child to the realms of creative aspiration in thought and word.
