Mohan Chutani Poet Rhyme

An Innocent Childhood Memory 2

I learnt to swim at ten
But was afraid of attempting a dive from height
Stayed in den!

I must be bold
I vowed to dive no matter plight
Why hold?

One day then
Took the three metre flight
Yen!

I learnt to swim at ten
I vowed to dive no matter plight
Yen!


Another example of MINICHU form
to encourage Soupers to attempt and participate in the contest as it is not that difficult.

Aditi Mishra August 2, 2020 at 12:12 PM Inspiring memory Mohan. I am surely going to try this one :) Mohan Chutani August 2, 2020 at 9:05 PM Thanks and good luck Aditi. It is fun writing short rhymes like this, esp. searching the last single syllable.
