Poem 259 - Guardian

Image link here

The old gardener

Was made fun of by children

But he was happy

With love he took care

Of his beautiful flowers

From pests like children

Those manner-less kids
Were chased by the gardener
For plucking flowers

A true guardian
As he really seems to care
For the things he loves

Poem 258 - Frog

Image link here

A cute little pond

A statue in the middle

Of a small merman

I hear a soft croak
Coming from near the statue
A small little frog

With shock I stared at
Natures other kind of green
Just croaking away

Poem 257 - Unexpected Visitors

Image link here

An old storage room

Covered in some years of dust

Natures hiding place

A strong musty smell

Unexpected visitors

Hanging on the shelves

Nocturnal mammals

Fly out in a colony

Enchanting black eyes

Poem 256 - Incredible India

Image link here

There's so much to see

In a country so diverse

It will take lots of time

Shop in the bazaars

And taste our cultural food

Filled with nature's spice

Visit the temples

Watch some Bollywood movies

See the monuments

Life-time experience

Incredible India 

A place you must see

Poem 255 - Watery Visions

Image link here

Happily she dreamed

Nestled in her mother's lap

Last time probably

How was she to know?

That she would be abandoned

By her poor parents

Poor little baby

Her dreams would be shattered; like

the snap of a twig

She starts crying as,

Her mother leaves her; on the

doorstep of a house

Watery visions

As she cries her heart out

Save the girl child please

Poem 254 - A Letter From A Laptop

From, The Laptop

18th August 2013,

To, The Unkind Humans,

Dear humans, all day you click and stare away,

Not a moment away from me, you can stay,

But I actually don't get the happiness I need,

Even when I've become your place to play and read.

The way you treat me is not at all fair,

I really need my respect's share,

Why? You spend half the day next to me,

Clicking away, and banging all the buttons harshly.

I might have made life easy for you,

So please think about me too,

My dear keys and buttons, won't survive for long,

If you hit it with your hands so strong.

Please reply to this poor, dying soul,

For, you've made me feel that your heart is black as coal.

Poem 253 - Age Of No Worries

Image Link Here

Thin white-gray eyebrows

On the verge of being bald

Can't make out his age

Spectacles so thick

A walking stick in his hand

Must be very old

A limp in his walk

But still happily he smiles

No worries 'bout life

~Gaurang Rao
