When The Vernal Shine Falls On.. (For Children) Poem by Indira Renganathan

When The Vernal Shine Falls On.. (For Children)

Rating: 5.0


When the vernal shine falls on
Fallen the shadow on the wall starts moving
Clear and distinct yet feeling uneasy
It asks the mango tree
"I'm your shadow, I'm on the move
But you're always stable, how is it?
Even the wall I've fallen on is stable
How is it and why? "
The mango tree knows not, nor the wall too
Like any human mother mamma earth chides
"Shh..don't question the higher laws"
At that, a bird's shadow
On the tree's shadow squeaks
"I'm flying far high to ask the sun
'cause shadow falls on his shine only"

Children oh sweet children answer can you
To the moving shadow the answer true

Yes, the shadow of a mango tree keeps moving and flickering while the tree stands stable...... Why? Honestly I don't know! I must consult Google or a clever child can perhaps help me! This poem will definitely boost the curiosity and thinking capacity of the children!

Sun rises in the east moving towards the west to set...so, so long the light falls on the object the shadow also keeps moving varying in size relative to distance....when the sun light fails the shadow also disappears...hope I have answered properly....thank you Valsa for your visit and comment
