Poets’ Corner
Rain
Rain is not coming
And the sun is not going
Grass, trees, parks and lands
Without rain everything has changed
I don’t like to sweat
But I want to be wet
Humans and animals all are in pain
Oh God please send rain

My brother
My brother is a trouble;
He always wants a bubble;
He is always talking;
He doesn’t know where he’s walking;
He has a stupid mind;
He isn’t really kind;
He makes me really mad;
But then he’s really sad;
One word I want to distribute;
That my brother is really cute!

My true loves
My first love was my school teacher
Our ‘Chemistry’ was perfect
Everything went on perfectly
Until I failed her subject
Then I loved a princess
To her I was a noble knight
But she found out that I want to be a king
Just to make my future bright
I also loved a top model
I took her shopping once
And then I had to leave the city
Because I could not pay my debts
Then there was that film actress
She was uneducated but totally cool
But then I met her other lovers
And realised that I am such a fool
I also loved an old lady
She was a billionaire with a sexy smile
But she left me for good
When I objected to her bold dressing style
Don’t think that I am lying
Because you don’t know what’s in store
Actually being so experienced in love
I am just advertising for more!

I will miss you
Whenever I’ll play tennis,
I’ll miss your menace
Whenever I’ll go to school,
I’ll miss the way you made me look like a fool.
Whenever I’ll break any rules,
I’ll miss the way I threw you in the pool.
Whenever I’ll play with a ball,
I’ll miss the way you pushed me in the mall.
Whenever I’ll go out to play,
I’ll miss the pot you made with clay.
Whenever I’ll fry something,
I’ll miss the way you used to cry,
Whenever I’ll see a dream,
I’ll miss the way we shared Ice cream,
Whenever, I’ll take part in a race,
I’ll always remember your face.
Whenever it’ll be the end of the week
I’ll remember that some times you looked like a freak.
Whenever I’ll eat a lollypop,
I’ll miss the way we played tiptop.
Whenever I’ll see a rat,
I’ll remember, that you were very fat
Whenever I’ll read physics,
I’ll miss all your tricks
Whenever I’ll read a book,
I’ll remember your nose which is like a hook
Whenever I’ll pat a cat,
I’ll remember that you were a brat
Whenever I’ll eat butter
I’ll miss some words you used to utter
Whenever I’ll fall asleep
I’ll miss the way you made a child weep
Whenever I’ll break a flower pot,
I’ll miss how you ate a lot
Whenever I’ll eat junk food,
I’ll miss your lovely mood
Whenever I’ll go out with Sandy,
I’ll miss the way we shared a candy
Whenever I’ll fight
I’ll remember that you always took my side
Whenever I’ll wear ‘blue’ according to the trend
I’ll miss that I had a true friend.

The tree
On the way to my school I see,
A very strange and ancient tree
The branches of the tree bend down,
As if trying to hug the ground
The leaves are so thick and dense,
The light cannot pass through them
The dry ones lie in a heap
The bestowed shadow gives me creeps.

The colour of friendship
A rabbit thought it wonderful,
If the colour of friendship were purple.
A fox figured it would be strange
To have the colour of friendship orange.
Somebody once said the colour of friendship is red.
Then someone thought the colour of friendship was yellow.
A parrot who lied a lot, said the colour of friendship was violet.
Someone shouted with fright, the colour of friendship is white.
The Mayor of a friendly town stated the colour of friendship was green.
May be the monkey in the moon wondered if friendship was maroon.
In reality there is no colour of friendship
Friendship is just having fun while you are with someone
Right from the start friendship comes from the heart.

Secure the future
Worried about the future
Worried about war
Although I am too small
And the future is distant
BUT!
There’s not enough food to eat
No drinkable water around
No place around that’s safe
No fresh air to breathe
How can we reach the star?
IF!
We grow more trees
And environment is pollution free
Make new dams, if provinces agree
To spread education free
Let’s join our hands
And live in peace
