Poets’ corner
The cat
The cat caught a rat
Rat was dark black
It has two eyes and a long tail
Cat keeps it for lunch, want to play some fun
Rat ran away before the lunch
Cat tries to catch it again
Cat looked at all possible places
Rat was sleeping, when the cat caught it again
Cat have a rat, cat was little fat.

I am building a robot
I am building a robot to clean up my room
Using just like this busted balloon
I will build it with my library book which is one year overdue.
A sneaker, a sandal and dad's missing shoe
I will keep on constructing it with father's wear,
Used tissues, dried meet balls and fallen out hair,
A half eaten sandwich which is half a year old
Arid umbrella I can't get to fold
I will top off my robot with crushed soda can
A jar full of flies and a bucket of sand
As I finish it I have to confer
That my room is clean but the robot is a mess.
Thanks in advance for publishing the poem.

Let’s save the Earth
Just think that the earth, on which we live
To it, how much pain we give
We seem to be its bitter foes
As our hatred, with each other shows
Every where, we are spreading pollution
Which is making animals die, one by one
Being its enemies, on it, we are felling down every tree
As we don't like to see them free
To each other, we are happily killing
But still, our devilish hearts, for more are willing
We are doing this just for our benefit
Because we don't want others' good even a little bit
From earth, we want to snatch its happiness
Because, perhaps, we want to see it worthless
So, of earth, if we are good friends
Then our home, we must try to tend
The only way to save it, is to love every one
And make our home shine as brightly as sun
Let’s have a promise with each other, today
That we will save the earth through every possible way!!!

Our obligation
In this world of today,
Where things are no more gay.
Where there's a plundering of brothers,
About which no one even bothers.
Where families move asunder,
On trifle value blunders.
We need a bright sun,
To help us realize all the good we shun.
To assist us in abandoning,
Merciless behaviour instead of pardoning.
To make us acknowledge that,
Feelings like love are still intact.
To guide us to the right path,
And revive us from the entire wrath,
That we may face in,
The life hereafter due to our sins.
Oh God! Help this world,
So those who dwell on it, hurl
Away all the hatred and greed
And forget all differences of cast and creed.
So there remain none but,
Love, peace and harmony, with
The chapter of darkness forever shut.

God give us love
God, I pray that there will be a day
When wars will be no more.
When men can be with family
And not on some far distant shore.
A nation can declare a victory,
But no one wins a war.
Because of such horrible memories
Life will never be as before.
Brave soldiers will kiss their sweethearts,
Holding them oh, so tight.
Wondering how they'll make it
Through each lonely day and night.
So many sacrifices will have to be made
To help keep the world free.
Both men and women will lose their lives.
To save humanity for you and me.
Love should make the world go round,
Not hate and terror and greed.
Please, dear God, put love in our hearts.
That's the one emotion we all need

Mind it! (sayings of a cockroach)
I don’t know where you people have come from,
Just to cause destruction and harm.
I am also a living creature,
So I could judge the matter.
I usually get glut whacking every day,
And lost my one leg on the way.
When you see my arrival,
You rush to torment me and I have to escape for my survival,
I could not tolerate your whacking,
And you have to believe me, I am not a liar.
I never jangle anybody,
But you always jape on me.
I don’t know why you want to kill me,
I tried hundred times to convince my enemy.
But you never gave me a chance to commence,
I am reminding you that you will not get rid of my vengeance.
Wait for my exertion,
But don’t take an advantage of my wearisome.
I never experienced a ripple of mirth,
From the day I took birth.
Now I am totally wilted,
And you are so rude to me and made my life blighted,
Now just leave me alone,
As I don’t want to hear your irritating sound!”

The brain
The brain is so small,
But functioning it all,
It has so complicated systems,
From where the ideas comes,
It has a huge amount of imagination,
Because of which humans made invention,
The human brain is one of its kind,
So much that there is none other to find,
Because the human brain is just like a,
100,000 dollar machine.
