Poem 44- The moon desire

I wish I could see the moon

I know you will think this is strange

I want to see it at noon

It should be in my touching range

The moon I wish I could touch and feel

The moon is the thing on which I shall be

On the moon I wish I could have a meal

and maybe supper and some tea

Everyday the moon bobs at night

It feels shy to come in the day

Maybe the sun gives it a fright

And very far it does stay

At night the moon scares the sun

and the sun goes in hiding

At that time the moon has fun

Until the sun comes to give the moon a thrashing

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 43-Going to a desert

When I was in the middle of the desert

I realized that water was very less

Of this I became very alert

Because if I wasn't I would fall in a mess

When I wanted to quench my thirst

I would tell myself NO NO!

I should keep it for the worst

as water was very low

Riding on the camel was a big pain

Because it was the first time I was riding

For the first time I wished that it would rain

So that I could go along while drinking

At last I saw a oasis

So I finished my last bottle in a hurry

I thought this was a bliss

But later I got such fury

A mirage it had been

I almost fainted

Oh! What had I seen

Now in a few hours I might be dead

But as it grew darker

My village I could see

I went to a shop and drank water

Oh! Thank you God for saving me

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 42- Bad Man

He smoked a cigar

and I saw him going to the bar

He is a bad man people said

the street is his house and bed

Even though he is a beggar

about his life he has no fear

He tells he wants to die

nobody knows why

On my way

I see him every day

that man is sometimes funny

he asks me for money

That man though bad

must also be mad

to ask money from a child

Isn't he wild?

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 41- Lovely Twilight

It's just about to be twilight

today everything went right

there was not even a minor fight

and even I was very polite

The sun too looks very lovely

I look at it and it looks at me

Today the sun's each ray

Is going towards the correct way

Just look at the beautiful sunset

I wish I could capture it using a net

and just look at the lovely sun

I want to dance and have some fun

Though I feel a bit shy

To you now I say good bye

Because I'll go and see some more of the sight

and see the suns beautiful glowing light

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 40- Fight Global Warming

All of us have got a warning

That Earth is getting hot

It is Global Warming

and then Earth will rot

There won't be a bit of green

My Oh My!

Plants won't be seen

because all of us will die

Where once life had met

will completely have been gone

there will be no blue planet

and nobody will see twilight or dawn

We should work very fast

we should be active

we should make the future to past

only then can we live

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 39- Fat cat

My cat gained lots of weight

By eating lots of junk food

Fat is my cats state

and he does not look good

My pet is very fat

He refuses to become thin

My dear cat

will burst if poked with a pin

All day he will only eat

or only sleep

let it be cat food or meat

he will never weep

One day I got a shock

Now you will know what I saw

It could not walk

In-fact it could not lift even a paw

I forcefully made him thin

now he is in correct size

So that he won't burst out of his skin

I made him exercise

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 38- The lost key

I saw a key in the hot desert sand

To pick it up down went my hand

The key I was about to pick

When on my back I felt a hard kick

When I turned a man was looking at me

He said' That key holds my name can't you see?'

I picked it up and gave it to the man

He took it and then he ran

At once I realized he might be a robber

and not the key's owner

I felt like I was running in a race

because from that minute on was the chase

The man had a head start

'But don't give up' said my mind and heart

The man was too fast for me

And so he ran with the key

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 37- Night Fright

One very dark night

When Earth was lit by the moon

I thought everything was going right

But I said this too soon

I could not sleep a wink

So I switched on the light

At that time I heard a clink!

So I closed the light in Fright

I heard something fall

I thought it was a thief

It came from the hall

but that did not give me any relief

I cautiously opened the room's door

getting scared even more

To the hall I ran and ran

Hoping that on me won't pounce a man

But once there what a shock I got

A thief it was not

It was only my pet cat

chasing a baby rat

After counting sheep

I did fall asleep

In the morning I went to my cat

And gave it a pat

So that very night

Not everything went right

This funny incident

Into the family history it went

It is almost forgotten

by every person

But this night which was moonlit

I still remember it

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 36- One little bird

One hot morning

I heard the birds sing

and then I saw them fly

very very high

They flew into the sky

to fly I would love to try

this is not a lie

but i really want to fly

Oh! But there is one little bird

it seems to be injured

i heard it cry

as it tried to fly

I thought I'll take it to my hut

so that I can plaster it's cut

But what if I do not?

It might die in the hot

But how will I catch the bird

I really wondered

At that time it flew

But believe me this story is true

- Gaurang Rao

Poem 35- Faith in God

In God we must believe

from morning to eve

When you are in danger

absolutely have no fear

God is there everywhere

over here and over there

If you want God in your heart

This is how you must start

All you should do is pray

In your heart God will longer stay

Every problem of yours God will share

He will come to you without turning a hair

Once I had to go to an examination

Very late I had reached the station

But God had stopped the train

by pouring down unexpected rain

Another time I had lost my way

And to God I did pray

When I was crying in pain

God put me on the correct lane
