Children’s Poems

About Safiya’s Corner

Welcome to Safiya’s Corner on Poésie du Monde, a place where poetry finds its voice through the hearts of our younger generation. Here, my grandchildren take the stage to recite cherished poems or sing poetic songs, not always perfectly, but always with joy and passion.

What sets this corner apart? The performances are delivered not from printed pages, but from memory—a bold choice that lends a delightful unpredictability to each rendition. A forgotten line, a mischievous twist of words, or a tune that finds its own tempo… these small imperfections only add to the charm and authenticity of their heartfelt tributes.

This is not just a celebration of poetry—it’s a celebration of the human spirit, of creativity unbound, and of the courage to share it, flaws and all. So, join us as we embrace the beauty of imperfection, one passionate performance at a time.
