On Thursday, 12 February 2026, from 13.30 to 15.00, the Sanurian English Club held an inspiring and creative session with the theme “Love the Nature through a Poem.” The activity aimed to help students understand the basic theory of poetry and express their ideas and feelings through simple yet meaningful poems.

The meeting began with an explanation of the theory of poetry. The teacher introduced the definition of a poem, its purpose, and types of poem. Students learned that a poem does not always have to be long or complicated. Instead, it should express thoughts and emotions in a creative and imaginative way. Several examples of short poems were shared to help students understand how words can create strong images and feelings.

After learning the theory, students were invited to observe a living thing around them. They could choose plants in the school garden, small animals they noticed, or even their friends as inspiration. The purpose of this activity was to train students to pay attention to details, such as colors, movements, sounds, and feelings, so they could describe them vividly in their poems.

Next, students began creating their own short poems. They were encouraged to use simple language but meaningful expressions. Some students wrote about flowers, while others described nature, small trees, and so on. The classroom atmosphere was calm and focused, yet full of creativity and excitement.

At the end of the session, several students volunteered to read their poems aloud in front of the group. This activity helped them build confidence in speaking English. Overall, the English Club activity was both educational and enjoyable. Students not only learned the theory of poetry but also practiced observing, writing, and reading in English. The session successfully encouraged creativity, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of words.

Here are the examples of students’ poems.

My 4 Seasons

By : Chloe Adiwinata

 

Wind and blue skies 

Birds fly and flowers sway

Here I am, sitting by the bench

Waiting for you to pass my way

 

Summer arrives

And time flies

The Sun shines so bright 

Like my life when you arrive 

 

But fall is different 

Not like the others

It's calm and quiet 

Yet speaks the most in the back of my mind

 

And now it's cold outside

Though it's warm in my heart

The way we danced through the moonlight

Drinking hot chocolate with our favorite vibes

 

This is our story

This is our life

This is our memory

This is our light

 

This is who we are

And who we'll always be

Let it be recorded with time

The four best seasons of my life

 

Life from the eyes of the leaves

By : Eliana

 

Trees overgrown by moss

Like a hug after a loss

Warmth spreading all across

 

The breeze rattles the Trees

Flowers pollinated by the bees

Life must be easy, so carefree

 

Trees grow , nonestop

Recovering even after a chop 

Giving shelter to all, even the birds who sit a top
