My children <br />Came and <br />Asked me <br /> <br />Mummy, <br />How many <br />Poems <br />Did you <br />Write <br />Today? <br /> <br />I smiled, <br />And said <br /> <br />Was so <br />Engrossed <br />In Life's <br />Poetry, <br />I couldn't <br />Write any <br />Poems <br />Today <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />[This Poesy is inspired by the Observation that often my children after coming from School take stock of what I've written for the day, asking me what I wrote, how many poems I wrote, where I published them (Boloji / PH / Anjuman) and many other queries about my poems.....which really zaps me that at such a young age, they take so much interest in my poetry. They know that not all poems are for them; they are allowed to read them only when they are Adults, but the ones I feel they can read, I always share with them....sometimes they struggle with the vocabulary and subtle meanings, but then Dictionary, Thesaurus and real life e.g.s and explanations from their Mummy are never far behind ;) Thus they are able to learn many new abstract concepts]<br /><br />Aparna Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/engrossed-2/
