The Shop

The Shop When Koki, me and Mom, we all ran a shop 🏬 Our first encounter was sore We just encountered with Mrs. Karen Kounter👛 As she banged her fist on the door. 🚪 “Now, where are the rubies?!” she yelled at Miss Judy ♦️ She was new, and turned quite pale. “’Ten rupees priced neat’, oh, that’s quite cheap,…

A Poem

A poem- Is not like you and me, It can be as small as an ant, It can be as tall as a tree. In a poem- A bird can sing, A flower can bloom, A bell can ring. In a poem- A river can flow, A tiger can growl, A tornado can blow. A poem- Is quite like no…

My plants

Six papaya seeds I grew. Then five of them died. My last on the biggest one- At last it died as well, When bugs hacked it down To every cell. Now I dream of planting a sturdy big mango tree, Sitting under it like a bear, Under the refreshing shade of the tree Which I have yet to grow.

Not the finger-snap of an ingenious pianist. Something, something more rhythmic and quick, under the slices of mud and silt, Under the violet of the sea. As the sun peeks at the…

The Beauty of Morning

The sun is coming from so low, And all the creatures down below, They jump and clap and run around, But nature’s beauty makes no sound, But the trees shake with joy, it’s true, For the arrival of a day so new, How the birdies chirp and sing, And that’s how a morning begins.

The World

The world is so big, the world is so big! The bird in the peepul tree chirps all day long, longer the day longer the song! Forgeting all his sadness only knowing his song, along with his beautiful wife who just with him sings along! The just can’t stop the singing which is their work after work, after work they…
