Elma Burke

Elma Burke, a St. Lucian residing in England, never dreamt that her passion for poetry would be embraced by her amazing sons, Janvier Burke 10 and Janeal Burke 9. Together with her sons, Elma takes pleasure in writing poems, reading stories and watching Disney movies, all of which motivates her sons to do their best at school. Inspired by her faith, past, feelings, surrounding and imagination, Elma’s poems have become a useful teaching method for her sons, poetry workshop for schools, fun time for her sons’ friend, as well as a gift, a prayer, a company - Dejans Poetry Ltd and now a book. Elma and her sons are excited about Incorrect Rhymes and pray it gives young writers and their parents the confidence to write their unique poems.
