Poem 206 - The Soup

My shoes were wet and muddy, after walking in the rain
I went into a diner, for my stomach was crying in vain
Red hot soup, arrived on the dinner table

The waiter placed it, it shook, then it was stable

A red hot tomato soup, with bread pieces in it, I took a sip

The soup too hot, burnt my throat and lip

But it felt good, on a cold, wet and rainy night

And into a bread piece I took a bite

Thanks dear soup for making me warm

Don't you think it's nice to drink when its raining, or during a storm?

Poem 205 - The Funny Shoes

Mr. Smith's funny little shoes

Sometimes seemed too tight, sometimes too loose

Oh Mr. Smith didn't know his left from his right

And when he wore it wrong, he pondered about the mystery all night

And which shoe was for which foot he couldn't choose

~Gaurang Rao

Poem 204 - The Black Hole

I'm the black hole sitting here absorbing space

I wonder if I'll reach the human race

There is no time inside me, I just eat it

And still just absorbing space, there I sit

I am dangerous, for you don't know what's inside me

I am the feared black hole, the great and mighty

But now I feel sad, for my job is boring

And I've got tired of this job of time storing

And I never seem to be full, always need to eat

So in my dark world, time I do greet

~Gaurang Rao

Poem 203 - Halloween

Mr. Smith opened his house door to see the British Queen

And from behind her came the funny Mr. Bean

And Mr. Smith stared at them as they said trick or treat

Not realizing it was children, he wondered why they were acting weird on the street

Oh poor Mr. Smith didn't realize its Halloween!

~Gaurang Rao

Poem 202 - Painting It Yellow?

He appeared healthy, but a bit Sallow was Mr. Nate

Though I would like to, unfortunately I can't illustrate

And when Mr. Jake asked him, "What happened dear fellow?"

Falsely he said, "Oh Jake, can't you see I've painted my face yellow?"

Poem 201 - School Trip

And I had been to a trip with my school

It was really fun, and cool

Having fun with friends for four days

And in Kerala the wonderful overnight stays

Going shopping and riding on the ferry

It was really fun, it was all merry

Dancing and singing

Talking And Laughing

Everything went really, very well

And the whole thing to you to I can't really tell

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 200 - The Lady

A scream, as I walk through the woods

My bag full of medicines and other goods

And I bravely went towards the scream on the heavenly lane

For it was a scream not of joy or anger, but filled with pain

I saw a cottage, pretty strange to be in the middle of nowhere, I went there all the same

I knocked, wondering whether I should retreat my steps, for no one came

That's when I heard a pain filled groan from behind the door

I opened the door, for I could wait no more

And you want to know what I saw in there?

A poor, sick lady sobbing in her chair

I touched her head and I knew she had fever

Taking some medicine I made her swallow it, for I could not leave her

And now whenever I pass the cottage, I always stop for tea

Yes, she's fine again, a bit of kindness saved her you see?

Poem 199 - Sour Day

Mr. Smith took a ripe lemon off a tree

Thinking its a sweet lime he took  a bite into it with glee

So sour it was that he closed his eyes

He started dancing around in surprise 

He went to his wife and told "To Sweet Limes I Do Have An Allergy"

OH poor Mr. Smith!

Poem 198 - A fresh new start

As creativity comes back into me
I get this feeling that makes me happy and free

And sometimes even though I don't know what to write

I come hear to write which makes my heart light

Though I haven't written quite a lot this year

With new thoughts and hope I come over here

 I really don't want to be absent in the place where I can dream my dreams

Think the unthinkable, and write for new memes

Poem 197 - The prank not played

So many pranks played on me by my sister

So I decided to play a wonderful prank on her

To scare her from under the table was the prank I did pick

But sitting under the table, gave my neck a crick 

I come out of the table, wondering if anyone has finished this prank, ever?

Poem 196 - Rains

I jump in puddles and dance in the rain

The heavens have opened so lets have fun

The water has started to flood this lane

Hiding behind the gray clouds is the sun

I am soaked wet but it's still fun to play

Yet, I love the rain, so I hope it does stay

The farmers for this rain they must have prayed

Their plants might have died in the summer heat

But the potters might be cursing this rain

Because they work hard to make their ends meet

Pots won't dry, so the farmers are now in vain

But I love the rain as it's fun for me

I feel so happy and I feel so free

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 195 - The beach

I am on the beach flying my kite

Me and my sister having a kite fight

Behind us dad give's a shock to my sister and me

BOO! He makes us drop the kite spool in the sea

Our unlucky dad pulls money out of his wallet making it light

And there it was two new kites

Poem 194 - Mother Nature

Sitting in the woods, peering through trees

I hear the chirping of birds and buzzing of bees

It felt great to be sitting right there

I decided to lie down at the sky I did stare

It felt great to have nature surrounding me

I felt like the birds I'd seen happy and free

It was like a painting - a wonderful scene

Sitting there surrounded by nature, so many things I'd seen

I also felt the happiness of having peace

And there I sat peering through the trees

It was really such a wonderful nature

And when we did harm it we did act so immature

God has made this nature beautiful and wide

So we should always be there at natures side

So not to harm nature is our duty

So let's just admire Gods creativity and mother nature's beauty

-Gaurang Rao

Poem 193 - Biscuit Please!

When I am Hungry and I can't find any food

And my tummy makes noises that sound very rude

To ask for a biscuit I run to my mother

When she shakes her head I say ",Oh! Bother"

After begging and begging I get the biscuit tin in the end

And every single biscuit turns out to be my friend

I felt hungry, even after emptying the biscuit tin

And when I ask my mother for food, she gave me a grin

~Gaurang Rao

Poem 192 - Trapped In Disguise

Playing on the beach, digging in the sand for shells

I dig out a bottle, see a strange sight

Inside the bottle there is a tiny boy

I rub my eyes, he is there all right 

But it's not any boy, but a smaller version of me

So very strange it does seem!

I get scared, I throw the bottle into the sea

That's when I woke up to find out that I had a dream

Poem 191 - Awesome Sister

This poem is dedicated to my wonderful sister - Ashwini. 

My dear sister is wonderful

And she is indeed beautiful

Sometimes we get angry and we fight

But the following day we hardly remember the previous night

Sometimes I might be angry with her

But she is a wonderful dear

For she's helped me a million times

She even helped me match some rhymes

I have so much fun with my sister

Though sometimes I feel she is sinister

I love my sister a lot

Though at times I am angry after we've fought

                 -Gaurang Rao

Poem 190 - Road Of Life

Walking in the woods, humming a soft song

My jacket is hung over my shoulder

Spring has come, now nothing can go wrong

Nature is blooming, but growing older

Birds chirping, Bees humming, Flowers blooming

I love this season everything feels right

The good is here and evil is dooming

I stop for a moment my mind feels light

It's a beautiful place, peaceful and nice

Spots of light passed through gaps in leaves on trees

To make all this God must be kind and wise

I felt really fresh as there blew a breeze

I wish life was like this, this beautiful way

I hope it goes on like this everyday

Poem 189 - In a supermarket

I saw an old man picking many cans of cokes

I watched amused, as he dropped them into his trolley

I took my things and went near the counter

I had some change left, I picked up a lolly

I go to the counter and I'm right behind the "coke man"

I see the cashier's reaction, as the man puts many cans of coke on the counter

The man asks for the bill, as the cashier counts the cans, with a smile

Seeing the bill, the man did saunter

He pulled out a tattered wallet, and took out some cash

He gave it to the cashier, and took the plastic bag

I wondered how it fit in one plastic bag

At the car seeing the bill, his wife did nag

Poem 188 - Love to break free

I watched as a small crowd gathered in the shop

Looking at the latest beautiful paintings on sale

I myself stared at this one picture, wondering what it meant

What made it so special, hanging on that rusty nail?

I just stared at it deep inside, wondering it that's what is real art

And for a moment, I could see the colors move about

Was it an illusion no it wasn't

Keep me safe with you, it seemed to shout

So, before any hand could pick up that painting

I removed it from the nail, and took it away

Yes, I seemed to understand the love inside it

I knew it wasn't my mind making the colors sway

I knew I understood the hard work, the love

The creativity, the purpose, the happiness

This was what I really could call art

While maybe others think it is a mess
