THE TREE IN MY GARDEN



I grew a tree long ago,
It gives me a lot of fruits, you know,
It gives me shade and happiness, indeed,
And helps us a lot when we need.

The birds build their nests,
                                              The tree is like their treasure chest,           
Squirrels love to play,
And monkeys jump here all day.

Children play around my tree,
They pick the fruits from here for free,
Once in a year there are beautiful flowers,
In autumn they fall in a shower.

The tree is there for almost thirteen years,
As if it’s attached to the soil without fears,
That’s my tree, I say,
It will stand here all day.

Whether day or night,
The tree always stands upright,
Rain and storm could not uproot the tree,
That’s my tree, I say,
It will stand here all day.

MY DOG'S ROAD TO FAME



Bat was my dog’s name,
All he wanted was fame, and just fame,
But there was a problem with him,
The problem was that he was lame.

I saw the problem,
And I saw the pain,
He was limping,
All along the lane.

I took the dog home,
As he groaned,
Fame, fame !, I could hear his voice,
As the sadness on his face shone.

All the way, I ran,
I ran as fast as I could,
Then  I thought I missed,
I missed something useful.

I ran behind, and what I saw !
I saw a poster for a fashion show, for the lame
Prize money of Rs 100000,
And obviously,assured fame.

I quickly put my name in it,
And they told me the date,
                        ‘At sharp 6 :50, tomorrow you should be here,
Please don’t be late’

I showed my dog the cat walk,
I showed him how to wave,
But all he did was,
Just sit and gape.



I sighed, and then went to rest,
Thinking the dog wasn’t at its best,
Went to sleep, waiting for tomorrow,
It wasn’t a matter for sorrow.

I woke up early next day,
I saw the window, and a way,
In which my dog, would sway,
I ran along the way,

And found ourselves at the fashion show,
My dog beside me, kept low,
I saw the show had started,
And my name was being called.

I ran along with my dog,
He also ran like a hog,
It was misty, with a lot of fog,
But when I saw besides me,
Still I could see my dog.

He danced on the stage,
As if he was on a rage,
A one-leg dance, as the judges called it,
I thought was not a way of fame.

But when the results came,
I  became lame,
I saw my dog,
Not 3rd, Not 2nd,
In the 1 st place.

I received the cash prize,
And my dog got his fame,
And he can’t be called lame,
He’s a fun way of getting fame.

Poem- The Republic Day Comes

We Indians are very proud to celebrate Republic day
Protected by soldiers in the border who never sway
Hear me, I just have few things to say
Reading this you may decide your own way

Over the years that has past
'26th Jan is just another holiday', I thought
With the very recent wisdom I have got
I salute the leaders who had fought

I hear the media 'flash news' and end up in tears
'Will there be more news on bomb blasts?', I fear
Horrible living in the midst of terrorism and war
Is this what the great Mahatma Gandhi dreamt for?

Let's not watch the cricketer's zeroes
And stay away from the Corruption bureaus
Our great Jawans have nothing but only sorrows
Let us bow our heads for those real life heroes

Pay your tax, be very brave, take the wise decision today
Don't you wish your grand children to happily play?
We Indians are very proud to celebrate Republic day
Protected by soldiers in the border who never sway

Poem- Nature's power

Nature is beautiful,
Nature is fun,
Love it or hate it,
Nature is something to love,
Nature is god's gift to us






Nature protects the ozone,
Nature has a green hue,
Nature reduces pollution,
Nature keeps the sky blue 


Nature is affected by plastics,
Plastics we shouldn't throw,
Chemicals affect the nature,
Don't let the chemicals affect the growth




We should fall in love with nature as 
Nature waters and feeds us.

God gave us nature,
We cant live with out it,
Nature makes us.

Nature is beautiful,
Nature is about the earth,

The flowers, fruits, seeds & weeds, the surroundings
It is contained in everything around us
Come and enjoy
and be with the nature.
