It is easier to teach your own children to write poetry than to teach students at school, because you can draw them gradually into the right frame of mind and get them to understand what poetry is all about. Under such conditions, children will eventually come to enjoy and appreciate poetry, and to use poetic devices to express themselves.
教自己的孩子寫詩比教學生還來得容易，因為我們可以慢慢地把孩子引入詩的意境，讓他們領會詩意，久而久之，孩子自然會喜歡詩、欣賞詩，並且懂得應用詩的語言。
