Rama Balasubramanian Poet Rhyme

An Innocent Childhood Memory

When school home work was done
Went with friend every evening to play swing and slide
In Garden

Playing in joy
Plucked beautiful flowers for god
Enjoy

Walk swift
Beggar on  way
Gift

When school home work was done
Plucked beautiful flowers for god
Gift

Note : A true childhood memory. Everyday I would play, pluck flowers for God and go to temple. On the way there was a blind beggar. I would drop one flower in his bowl. He would bless me. I would be so happy.
Later I realised what would a blind  beggar do with my flower. He obviously wanted money. I still laugh at my  stupidity. In childhood we find joy in small things

Mohan Chutani August 31, 2020 at 10:09 AM Rama, thanx for participating. Again, you almost had a good go at this form except the co- rhyme of middle lines of your stanzas. But hearty congrats for your podium finish. Mohan Rama Balasubramanian August 31, 2020 at 10:58 AM Oops another mistake. It always happens with me. Glad you pointed it out. I really enjoyed your contest. All at home had a good laugh as I recalled this forgotten memory. Thanks for the placement. Take care. Warm regards, Rama
