DREAMS IN SCRIBBLES

Hopes and dreams in ink

  • THE WORST POEM IN THE WORLD

    My mom told me to write a poem

    I had no idea how that could be done

    I set on my desk and tried to think

    Didn’t waste my time even to blink

    I came up with an idea not very great

    Writing poems I very much hate

    My poem didn’t even rhyme

    To write one sentence I took too much time

    My mom told me it had no imagination

    I didn’t know what to do in such situation

    I thought it was the worst poem in the world

    Then some sound I suddenly heard

    I was actually a dream very bad

    One of the worst I have ever had

    I took out my diary and started to write

    Out came a poem that was just right!

  • I want to tell you about a party I want to throw

    Till now it was a secret which no one knows

    ‘Farewell Corona’ will my party’s name

    Fun at my party would be insane

    All my family and friends will be invited

    With all of them there I will be so delighted

    I cannot wait to hug them all

    To talk face to face and not on a call

    There would be no social distance nor any masks

    ‘Where is the sanitizer?’ no one would ask

    We would play games and dance all night

    With Corona gone, everything would be just right

    My party would be held at a big mall

    Bad times in Corona no one would recall

    We will all eat some delicious food

    Our happy day would not conclude

    I wish this day would soon arrive

    And I will bid Corona big bye bye

  • One day I was sitting on a swing with my dad when a piece of walnut that I was eating fell down. My dad was about to pick it up when he saw some ants. He said ‘Let’s leave this walnut for the ants.’ In few seconds, we saw an ant coming near the walnut. The ant started circling the walnut. Then the ant went away. We were confused. We thought that may be ants don’t like walnuts. But then after some moments It came back with many other ants. They all started breaking the walnut into many small pieces and started carrying it to their home. They were in two straight lines. One line was of the ants coming to get the piece and one line was carrying back the piece to their home. They were very organized. They were carrying much larger and heavier piece than their body weight. (A fun fact – An ant can carry 50 times their body weight) I was really amazed by their efforts and skills. To help them get more food, I put down a piece of raisin for them as well. I am sure they were all very happy to eat such delicious food.

  • मैना आती है मेरे घर

    गाना गाती है पेड़ पर बैठ कर

    खाना खाती और पानी पीती मेरे साथ हर दिन

    कभी नहीं जाती मुझे मिले बिन

    प्यारे प्यारे उसके बच्चे

    लगते है मुझे बहोत अच्छे

    पीली पीली है उसकी चोंच

    खेलु उनके साथ रोज़ अैसी है मेरी सोच!

  • Sparrows are fascinating little birds

    Their chirp chirp sound is nice to be heard

    In India 5 type of sparrows can be found

    26 species are in the world all around

    They are very social, they live in flocks

    Sing beautiful songs, that’s how they talk

    They swim underwater and love to hop

    They make nests in the holes and on the tree tops

    But sparrows are now falling in population

    We must all work towards their conservation

    Plant more trees for them to make a home

    So in search for a place they don’t have to roam

    Keep out a bowl of their favourite grains

    And some water too when it does not rain

    Reduce air pollution that we must do

    That will help sparrow grow to many from a few

    Sparrows will then be very thrilled

    Hearing their chirp again, our wish would be fulfilled.
