Porridge
Just started preparing the nutritious multi-grain porridge
And my childhood thoughts flashed in my mind
My face bloomed with a smile.
Thinking of the good old childhood days spent in my Grandma's house!
The next door neighbors in my grandma's village
Always used to prepare this great porridge
Honoring the Goddess of Strength
Asking her blessings for good health during the hot summer days!
Staying healthy devoid of disease,
Especially the chicken pox and its cousins
After the long rituals,
Hundreds of people line-up ,
With all shapes and sizes of vessels
To get this blessed porridge
At the temple premises!
Oh how i used to love this great nutritious meal
Clubbed together with the mango pickles
And Crunchy crispy pink onions.
Wow this meal to our body and soul is beyond description
Nothing can beat it, even the Royal dinner!
Well gone are those beautiful days,
I wonder whether there will come a day
For my children to experience, what I experienced!

Intruder
I went to my garden to take some pictures
Beautiful snaps of the gorgeous flowers
My Favorite roses and gerbera daisies
It was then I discovered
That my beautiful lotus -colored rose had vanished.
O my heart wept silently
Was angry with whoever stole it
Be it a human or an animal.
My little boy said maybe
A teenager stole it to give it to his girl friend.
My older son said maybe
A teenager took it to just squish it.
And well the next day to my surprise
I see my peace colored gerbera daisy
Snapped from its plant and was lying on the ground
I was glad to see the flower in its full form
So i picked it up to put it in a vase to admire it
Was a little happy to at least see this flower
My happiness didn't last long
The third day i was alarmed to see
The tender shoots of the rose plant were all eaten
And my dark maroon colored dense petaled rose
Was eaten as well by some mysterious creature
Oh no, I toiled so hard to have a beautiful garden
Is this what i get in return for my efforts
Mother Nature please help me.
Since i was bad to the squirrels,
Who hoarded the birdseeds
You can't punish me like this
Maybe the deer, or the rabbits, or the moles
Are eating everything.
I sleep late at night to see if i can find the intruder
And wake up early to catch the intruder
Disappointed but got it confirmed
By the poop, it was a deer's poop,
Then it was the rabbit and then the moles
I hope next spring I'll get to see
At least some of my floral garden back in blossom!

Bubbles
Blow bubbles
On a nice sunny day
See all the wonderful things
You can say!
Bubbles just slide and glide in the air
Gleaming and glittering in sunlight
Carrying the cool different rainbow colors
Glossy green, classy blue,
Purple, pink and yellow too.
Fantastic, are they, you would want to stare
Until they pop
You can’t stop
To blow bubbles
So, blow bubbles
And enjoy its hues!

Apples
The apples, apples, apples
They travel from the trees
Fly by planes
Buzz in trucks
Land on the shelves
Of the Grocery Stores
They travel, travel, travel
In the bags with different people
And stop to rest in a basket
Or seated in a bowl
For take off to various destinations
There comes a boy
He takes an apple
Relishing a bite
Enjoying the crunchy munchy juicy apple.

Numbers 1 to 12
One two three
Apples on a tree
Four five six
Whoever picks
Seven eight nine
Found not one that’s fine
Ten eleven twelve
Fell into the well!
Tiny
Tiny little tots
Be it a bird-ling
Or any cub,
Even a pup
A cute kitten
And the baby mittens
All the things
That are tiny, little, or small
They are the cutest of all!
