Rishi Menon Poems

nature is full of colors
with beautiful scented flowers
if your'e in a forest or a park
its nice even in the dark
...

I'm sorry Mom, I'm sorry Mom
I must apologize for I'm wrong
I'm sorry Mom, I'm sorry Mom
I need a chance to be strong
...

What is it that makes me cry
When I'm happy as can be
What is it that makes me want to die
When there's a life ahead of me
...

I am not a Christian
I am no Muslim
I am not a Jew
Nor am I Buddhist
...

Unrealized Dreams

I wandered alone in the desert in vain
Oblivious of the thundering gale
...

Mr. Potato is a fat man
Who juggled his belly as he ran
He once tried to clean a fan
saying to himself 'I can, I can'.
...

Susan was a pretty girl
She dreamed she had a big pearl
She dreamed she made a tasty pie
and that she ate chicken fry
...

I look at the sky and look to the sea
Deep blue they seem to me
I look at the forest and the lagoon
They are green as can be
...

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
A whole year has gone by
With a blink of an eye
...

My beautiful flowering trees

One day I shall buy some land
Plant countless seeds
...
