"You filled me with life,
Pillared my growth,
Taught me to walk.
Mom! For you,
...

A pug pup with nose twitching
Soft fur gently glowing
Marble eyes kindly calling.
To have you for keeps,
...

I finished my Homework
Late last night
Feeling sleepy,
Did not do it Right.
...

Is a baby chimp
That swings from tree to tree
In the jungle canopy
For spotting a banana tree.
...

Happiness! Happiness!
is pink
Happiness! Happiness!
Smells like strawberry syrup
...

Had Many Dreams
of Course you and I.
But my Dream Come True,
Just turned out to be a dream.
...

Flowers, I thought
I'd bring to your grave,
But somehow, to me
Admiring a beautiful flower
...

...

...

is a Rat
running between the cat's legs
between the ditch..with high sidewalls
choosing its way to escape from death
...

Is a buzzing bee
Flying in a springy path
In a colourful meadow
Intoxicated nectar
...

Is a thirsty goat
Swallowing is saliva and breathing hard.
As victims of a black blizzard on a hill
Dying slowly
...

Is a fat Mouse
running with haste
amidst the tall grass of paddy fields
Being chased by an owl
...

Is a stray dog
Whining with wide eyes
A few cms away from a lorry's wheels
To face unexpected death
...

Is a newborn snake
Crawling, slithering and hissing
On the broken egg shells
Opening unblinking eyes wide and glancing for the first time
...

Years ago,
I dug my ground
Placed a plant,
With turfy leaves…
...

Is a sparrow
With wings flapping slowest
As it nears its nest
Where a snake swallows its eggs.
...

Is a Mongoose
Killing a serpent
In the house where its tamed
For nearing its master's baby
...

Trees are also beings
Like human beings
Humans have mouths 5 cms wide
To shout, to cry
...
