May Contest – Mothers & Memories | Kavishala
May Poetry Contest: Mothers & Memories
Theme: Maa – The First Word
This May, Kavishala invites you to celebrate the one emotion that shaped our very first words — Maa. Whether she’s near or far, in memory or in every moment, her presence is eternal.
Write a poem that explores the depths of motherhood — her lullabies, her strength, her silence, or the way she made your world feel safe. This contest is about nostalgia, gratitude, and the bond that needs no language.
Let your poetry be a hug in words.
