Poem 102 - Treasure Hunt


One morning puss in boots was putting his clothes on the line
The morning was windy but it was still just fine
A map came from nowhere and hit puss's head lightly
Quickly Puss held the map very tightly

It looked like a very old treasure map
He decided to find out he put on his black cap
He followed the route many friends joined puss
Over the map, all of them made a big fuss

Finally they found out the map was fake
It was when they all fell in the lake
There was really no treasure
There was no gold or silver to measure

Poem 101 - The Old Gardener


Once there was an angry and very old gardener
His garden looked better than the field of the farmer
He was infamous for his anger on people who plucked flowers
He would grumble and grumble for almost two hours

But he loved his garden more than anyone
That was the only thing with what he had fun
He always didn't speak too much
But his garden had a special warm touch

He told children "Don't ya' dare to vellicate and pluck the flowers of ma' garden"
The children would tease him and he would immediately be on the run
He would come very close but he couldn't run with his stick
The children were alway saved by the bell, after playing that awful trick

Sad to say that gardener tripped from the stairs and died
Along with his family members even his garden cried
The plants too are rotten, still the garden stands
No one has tried to remove the plants by moving their hands

The garden turned into a creepy dark ground
There the crickets, made the only sound
Don't know why but in that place there is something queer
Something, something that gives everyone some fear

Poem 99 - Terrible Cold


Ear Drops trickling down my throat
Sending the ear pain a serious note
Telling it to go very far away from my ear
Telling it that the movers and packers are here

I lied on the bed one ear facing the roof, another to the pillow
Tired of lying, waiting for the tremendous cold to go
I felt the drops going more in and in
It felt like it was touching my inner skin

I knew the drops will take effect at any point
Again me and my ear will be happily joint
My taste buds too had unfortunately stopped having fun
My mother put salt on a lemon and made me lick the lemon

Yes now the pain was going, My taste buds were back
To taste all foods, now my lips did smack
Oh! I am happy the ear pain and all have run off
They have taken away the cold and the terrible cough

Poem 98 - Home - What a Creation!


Oh! My beautiful home thanks for shelter
You block the strong winds that come in winter
Oh! My beautiful home I love it when you are neat
You keep away the scorching summer heat

A home what a beautiful thing
A place where you can dance, where you can sing
A Home providing everything I want
A place where no ghosts can haunt

Homes a beautiful creation, if only everybody had one
The world would be happy, the world would be fun
My home is the place I share my feelings
All Sad, Happy and exciting things

Oh! Thank you home for all you provide
But I hate to lock you when I go for a car ride
But you are a thing that is completely unique
I love you even if your pipes do leak
-Gaurang Rao

Poem 97 - Final Piece?


A Jigsaw puzzle, one piece seems to be missing
I looked around saw nothing
Well that piece is surely trying to hide
On the bed something I spied

Nope it wasn't the jigsaw puzzle piece unfortunately
Now without that part complete won't be the jigsaw tree
I was tired after looking for that piece, I bit into a juicy pear
But still I couldn't see the piece anywhere

Finally I found the jigsaw figure it was in the laundry basket
A large and a happy sigh of relief I did let
Thank God no more stress finding that piece
Actually it was gifted to me from my mother's niece

The full picture was now complete
The picture looked very neat
My cousin came for a two day stay
I felt happy and showed it to my cousin that day

Poem 96 - Tea with monkey


I was sitting outside, the day was becoming dark
I was sitting near the gate, Far away a dog did bark
I was watching the birds as they flew up high
The clouds moved away saying a kind good bye

I was watching the sky, I heard a sound behind me
Oh! It seemed to come from the big apple tree
But nothing, no movement only the wind's hollow sound
Through my head the few memories I remembered went round and round

I heard a noise but this time somebody touched me
I turned and saw a small, lost baby monkey
It seemed to want food, maybe it was hungry
Anyway now it was time for my tea

It sat down at the table touched the teapot
It seemed to like the blue color a lot
It suddenly ran in the middle of tea
Alone in the evening it left me
-Gaurang Rao
