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

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

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

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

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
-Gaurang Rao
