One afternoon in late September，2023，little Zhang Haofeng sat down with his school friends and read out a poem he just wrote：
I miss you，
So I put wings on my heart，
Hoping that I can fly to your side，
Together we climb the mountains，
And play football，
My dad
Eleven﹣year﹣old Haofeng is a member of a poetry society in a rural school in Xiuwu county，Henan province，which has about 50 students，a mountain village that is home to about 1，000 people.
These young poets，however，have written more than 2，and their works have been collected into three books since the society was founded four years ago.This year，their three collections of poems have been introduced to their peers in big cities.In June，the only representative from Henan.
Zhang Yanwen，the poetry society's tutor，is herself an avid（热忱的），but teaching the children to write was a different story.In her first poetry class，she says，not knowing what to write.She ended up telling the children to simply"go out and take note of everything you see".They came back with simple images that helped prepare to write down their own poems.
As the children observed the world around them，they became more creative and their poems explored more themes，ranging from the four seasons to their families（限制） by the craggy mountains.
