Poems of Things Around You
By Pulkita Anand
Ants
We can’t hear
We can fear
We fight to the death
Small in size
Small in brain
Carrying big loads
Colours
Brinjals are violet
Moon is white
Sky is blue
Leaves are green
Sun is yellow
Oranges are orange
Roses are red
Directions
Hey! You
Look up
Look down
Turn left
Turn right
Move to the centre
Now, turn around.
I
I am a not the blue-eyed boy of my teacher
I fight black and blue
I am a snake in the bush
I don’t stitch in time to save nine
I keep my room at sixes and sevens
I work at the eleventh hour
I want to kill two birds with one stone
I build castles in the air
I know it is difficult to sail in two boats
Grasshopper
A grasshopper met a ladybug
He said, “Lady, lady,
Will you lay down your wings?”
The ladybug said,
“Sure, only if you lay down your legs.”
He said, “I can’t.”
She said, “I can’t.”
