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.

Prompt Ideas:

• A memory that defines your mother
• A letter to your mom in poetic form
• The sacrifices she never spoke of
• "What if mothers ruled the world?"
