Broccolis In the Forest

The broccolis in the forest,
Which make air to breathe,
They show their green feathers
That stem out of their sheath.
Fruits in our appetizers
Fragrance from their flowers
They work for our best
In how they influence showers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Although their help is immense
We still cut them down.
We burn them for our fireplaces
And they continue to frown.
Soil erodes from places
As floods come sweeping in.
If we don't use common sense
Our end will be seen.

As always has existed
There is a solution to this.
We shouldn’t cut them down
But should plant more of these.
We should treat them as our own
For they are kind and giving.
Let’s all get unified
To get the broccolis smiling.

The Internet

Internet, internet, internet
It is neither a fishing net
Nor a mosquito net
But it caught everyone in its net.

When the internet was invented
New ways to connect were created.
It changed the world very fast
As it influenced people a lot.

The handwritten letters vanished
And mails became diminished.
Emails became the norm
With everyone looking at the cam.
Living very far wasn't bad
As you could instantly talk to your dad.

But some thing bad started happening
As people’s doors started closing.
Face-to-face talk decreased
As online messaging increased.

Everyone started typing
And alongside came down writing.
Although everyone seemed connected
They became socially disconnected.

But I am of the opinion
That we will all have a reunion.
We will all connect together
To make our world better.

Internet, internet, internet
It is neither a fishing net
Nor a mosquito net
But it is what connected our planet.

Safari West

Our winter break at Safari West. 
Birds chirping in their nest.
The creek’s melodious medley
The smell and pitter-patter of the rain 
Goosebumps from the cold wind
Thick fog covering the tall pine
And ducks and ducklings swimming in a line

Breakfast

Can you choose whether to
Have bread or pancakes for breakfast?
Or organic oats, cereals and milk?
Is a fruit needed on the plate?
Can the items on the plate make a rainbow?
Every exciting morning with the same decisions to make.
Select the best from them and gobble them in a jiffy.

Swimming

The sight of the blue water 
Shook me with great fear.
A small pool turned into an ocean
And I cried loudly in tension.?

The sight of the blue water
Was one I had to savor.
Fear and tension receded
While bravery and determination succeeded 

The sight of blue water
Finally became much sweeter.
