Poetry puts emotions into words and is also one of the most valuable modes of learning the language.

The rhythm of the words, cadence of the poem, its inherent harmony make it an effective tool to express feelings, emotions and by reciting a poem aloud students can learn the flow of language, the play of words, phonics, syntax and develop an everlasting love for poetry.
