Poetry Program for Young Children
Time: 3:30pm
|
Evansville resident, Chuck Frary, will conduct a fun and exciting poetry program for young children at the Central Library Kids Zone, at 3:30 pm on February 5th.
Frary has been an internationally published poet for a number of years. His work is best annually published by "The International Who's Who in Poetry." His work is also annually published in books by Noble House Publishers, of London and Paris.
Frary says that his poems reflect his own lifetime attitude: They are all on positive subjects and they are all in perfect rhyme, which has become a rare art. Many of his poems can be viewed at www.poetry.com, be entering Chuck Frary as author.
Frary said he will make the one hour program for kids inspirational. He will teach them how to write short stories in poetic form, so they will have lifetime memories of the important happenings, as they go from childhood to adulthood, and eventually to the wonderment of old age.
Seating is limited and reservations can be made by calling Connie Walts at Central Library Kids Zone at 812-428-8225. The ages for the program are pre-school thru second grade, but relatives and friends may also attend in an adjoining area.
