Poem 58 - A Funny Morning Walk

Usually I wake up very, very late
Because waking up early I do really hate
Today, for a change I woke up early
Waking up early happens annually :)

So I went for quite an early morning walk
On my way I saw a bull and it I did mock
To make matters worse I had worn a red shirt
As it started chasing me I knew I'll get hurt

In a minute my shirt I did throw away
And then it became child's play
Because it went towards my shirt
And for that it's direction it needed to divert

I had to go home shirtless
That is without half my dress
I was being laughed at by everyone
Even by the people, even by the sun

Poem 57 - Witnessing a football match


Our school football team had made progress
The other team still seemed to be in a mess
Well maybe the other team didn't practice
But still this match I didn't want to miss

And of course our team did win the game
Actually always it is the exact same
The only thing is that the team is different
But always we win and the other team is silent
-Gaurang Rao






Poem 56 - A hunters life


All the animals froze as they saw me
With my favorite hunting gun in hand
I stood a little away from the tree
Standing quietly on the brown soft sand

I took aim on a very small rabbit
But in half a second it noticed me
It ran away before I could hit it
Only thing in sight was the chickadee

But it's beauty calmed me down easily
So the very small poor bird I didn't kill
But very soon the forest guards caught me
So in the drain went my nice shooting skill

Poem 55- A year over


Three Sixty Five days have gone
And a new year is just on
Starting it's new first good day
"Let this year be good" I pray

In this fresh new beginning
Good luck mostly it will bring
I pray that things go right
And that my future is bright

Pray that all of us succeed
And like warriors we lead
Give poor what they really need
Don't give small 'coz of your greed

Let this year be good for all
For the big, fat, tall, and small
Very good luck I do wish you
Because this year is just new

Poem 54 - Cold Frost


The cold chill made my bones freeze
I put on my gloves and sweater
There was a very, very strong breeze
Warm Clothes made me feel better

My teeth chattered all the time
Making a very funny sound
It was like making sounds rhyme
Very cold is the marble ground

Fast I put my slippers on
Makes me feel much more better
Covered with snow is my lawn
Warm I am coz' of my sweater
-Gaurang Rao





Poem 53 - New Years eve


This year is completely new
For all including me and you
Leave all your worries behind
Only good things you should find

May this new year be fantastic
Good habits you should pick
On this new year's eve
Tensions you should leave

Happy New Year To All My Friends And Family Members

Poem 52 - A Tree's Life


Well here I am a little tree
In my shade you can rest for free
Travelers sit under me to rest
On my branches birds make many a nest

Many people pluck fruits from me
Sometimes I care but I let them be
After all everything is free
and it makes the people happy

But today was a strange day
No longer children came to play
Only one boy came and buckled his shoe
But after that he angrily went too

It was then I realized it is autumn
Day by day leaves are leaving me glum
After all they fall onto the ground
Without telling me, without making a sound

And to make matters worse
A woodcutter drove a wedge into me
I am sure on me somebody has put a curse
Because if I had evaded the attack I could be free

In a few weeks I'll be cut
Maybe into small pieces of wood
Maybe to build a hut
But I will be gone for good
-Gaurang Rao
