Tod and his Friends

2008-09-21T17:42:00.000+05:30

On the banks of the square pond,
lived a great frog, "the king toad".
"Tod" they used to call him.

And Tod was fine a frog.
Royalty they said he was.
High he could hop, deep he could swim.

Tod was big, huge rather.
And loud was his voice,
healthy and very fine he was.

Brushed twice a day.
Exercised every morning.
Never took a break not even a pause.

And Tod was loved.
For he was just, honest and true.
Wise and noble, for the entire pond he cared.

And every quarrel Tod would resolve.
Every problem he would solve.
All he had, he shared.

And to all this Tod asked for nothing.
He was happy to make others happy.
But all did know Tod’s one desire.

He wanted to sing.
All told him the truth, “he was horrible”.
Because Tod hated liars.

But Tod never gave up.
Some say he knew not how to.
So everyday he would sing.

And though horrible he was,
The fishes, the cricket, the birds and the worms and all the square pond's denizens,
would patiently hear the toad king.

And then all would say
You are getting better Tod.
And may be tomorrow is your day.

So all his life Tod waited
For his day to come up.
And all his life he tried.

And finally one day to the pond and all its beings,
Tod said “this is my last song, for tomorrow I will die."
And all were sad because Tod never lied.

And all wept. All cried.
And Tod did too cry.
He said his fare well, took his bow and off he went for his final day.

All were still crying when the bald monkey came by.
All said he was a saint and he could do much.
"My friends why do you cry please do say?”

And all told him the truth.
About king toad TOD and how a great frog he was.
And his one dream that never came true.

"Could you help us, please let him sing wonderfully oh mighty one."
All of them begged together. And the bald monkey took out his pipe.
And great big a smoke did he blew.

For hours he thought
"How to make a frog sing, how to make a frog sing"
And when he was done, sadder he looked.

He said “no frog can sing. That is nature.
But a human can. And make Tod a human that possible be.
But the cost is very huge my lads" and thrice his head he shook.

"All the purple water will dry.
You all will have to leave forever.
And Tod would be a human, never a frog again."

And before he could let them think.
They cried in joy.” I am ready. I am ready."
So after all his efforts to convince them went in vain,

"Call Tod” he said and so they did.
"Tod you have great friends" and with a big bang
All the water of the square pond dried.

And poof in a smoke Tod was a human.
All of them were floating ready to go to their new homes wherever it be.
And bald monkey told Tod all. And then Tod cried.

"Sing once before we go Tod. Sing your heart out. Sing Tod"
All said so and even the bald monkey wished it be so.
So began Tod, the sad sad melody.

He sang of all the good times.
He sang of his friends. He sang loud,
Never better was a song sung. Never was heard such a beauty.

And people, bird and beast came from all around.
Everyone flocked to see who sang so perfectly
Such melody, such sadness where could there be.

And then all heard his song.
And all cried for "Tod the Toad king and his friends"
And then a strange sight did all see.

From the tears shed the pond began to fill.
The water rose and grew purple again.
And when Tod saw this he stopped mid way

He asked the bald monkey.
Could now everyone stay at the square pond???
"Sure they can" the bald monkey said. "Hip hip Hurray".

So again Tod began to sing.
A happy happy song.
And all danced and all had a great time.

So the story ends.
Hope they all lived happily ever after.
And so this be the last line of this tale, this the last rhyme.

(new ryhme scheme)

You

2008-09-21T17:41:00.000+05:30

She asked me one day,
A few lines to say.
“You write poetry,
Write one on me.”
I said yes at the time.
I could write a few lines that rhyme.
So I wrote she is as perfect as one could be.
Serene she is in beauty.
Her smile lights up a rainy day.
To help & to smile, she always finds a way.
And pages filled up as time passed by.
And every word was true, I did not lie.
Her kind nature, her gentleness, the twinkle in her eye.
A friend forever, she made time fly by.
And as much as I thought I could still write more.
So much was left while my hands felt sore.
So I kept all the stacks of paper away.
I’d tell it all in the simplest way.
To speak about you eternity is a short time.
But to tell you this I need no rhyme.
An angel you are through heaven send
Am lucky you’re my sister, I have got you till the end.
Am sorry a few lines I could not write.
“You Rock.” --- will it do for tonight?

Tea

2008-09-21T17:40:00.000+05:30

Tea,
What wonderful you be.
One sip inside,
All troubles subside.
Brightens up the day.
Opens up the way.
With friends and family,
Good times comes with tea.
For terms with foes,
A sip of tea – long way it goes.

And you soon do forget,
What problems had you met.
In the early morning light,
Or at dusk or twilight.
With biscuits to go.
Enjoy every sip, be slow.
Catch up on the time past by.
Albums or stories, laughter and cry.
Can’t start a talk, feeling shy,
A cup of tea makes friends easy.
Feeling low, all alone,
Delight in tea & your company, no reason to mourn.
On grassy lawn, watch the sun go down.
Tea on your lips, watch kids play ‘merry go round’.
On a rainy day, a panacea it be.
Tea & the rain, perfection you’ll see.
Give it a try and you will find,
Tea is solution to all – body and mind.
More than a drink, it is a friend.
A cup of tea, will all amend.

Searching for you

2008-09-21T17:38:00.001+05:30

I have searched for you.....
under the moonlit sky.
on the shore I have walked thousand a mile.

I have looked for your footprints.....
on the sand, all night long...
in silence of the sea I have tried to hear your song.

Long have I waited to hear your voice....
under the meadows, under the shade.
waited to forget, waited for this memory to fade.

I have stood out in the pouring rain......
Searching for you in the raindrops.
On empty streets, lonely bus stops.

At dinners I have sat.........
with the candlelight still a burn.
waited alone till the rising sun.

Mornings I have spent in making you breakfast.....
hoping to catch you first words said,
but only to find me and an empty bed,

I have smiled at people going by......
good morning, good afternoon, good night.
They all move, am the one whose still in sight.

The day, the Seasons all have past.....
and still all is same, I look at everything.
trying to find you through winter autumns and springs.

I have looked through the sands of time.......
In my memories, in my truth, in eternity.
My search isn't over, don't give up just yet, wait for me.

I will find you ......
Just wait for me......
Just wait for me......
I am coming, together we will be.
I am coming, together we will be.

Letter to Santa

2008-09-21T17:37:00.000+05:30

Dear Santa Claus
I am a 21 year old boy.
Still waiting for my toy.
I am writing to remind as Christmas comes near.
16 letters so Far I’ve sent, one every year.
Throughout the year I have been good.
Did all my homework, behaved as I should.
Made fun of none, help wherever I can.
I sleep eat & work on time, I stick to the plan.
And all my faults I try to amend.
A good son, good boy I have been a good friend.
I have sent you my address thrice before.
Still, sending a map from Antarctic’s shore.
Just follow the map & you shall see.
Finding my house will be very easy.
I know it doesn’t snow here but I’ll keep the AC on.
So it’ll be all when you come along.
And my gift, in case you forgot.
Is the little red car that I broke in the parking lot.
It was my brother’s when he was 7 years old.
He loved that car I was told.
So when with him I had a fight.
I broke the car on a moonless night.
He cried, when I told little red to god I had sent.
So in a few days, to god, he too went.
So I wish to say sorry & give him back his car.
And he’ll forgive me; I’ve waited for it so far.
You got him that car on Christmas eve.
Please get it back, in you I believe.
So that my life goes not in vain.
And my brother can play with his red car again.
That all I ask dear Santa Claus.
Signed A brother in remorse.

Heartbreak

2008-09-21T17:31:00.001+05:30

Walking in the rain,
I burn with sorrow deep.
Covered in rain drops,
These tears where do I hide?
Shadow beneath my feet,
Now has left me too.
Among this chaos of strangers,
In noises strange and high,
How do I drown this sobs?
Whose echo rips my heart away?
Where do these feet drag me?
I know not this lane this street.
I have felt lonely before.
But now when I need it, no more I have it.
My memory is all of good times.
But then why do they still ache?
Every time you laugh why does my heart break?
The more I say I am alright,
The more they ask, Am I?
They ask me to forget and move on,
Yet all they do is remind.
Under a shade hands held together
Or a two together walking by.
The birds chirping, flowers around.
And the pouring sky.
All that was once with you serene,
Is now a shadow that engraves the pain.
I do not know if I wish to forget?
Or to cherish this ache that reminds me of you?
All I know it is very lonely.
And it is sad very very sad.

My sheep and I

2008-08-24T12:02:00.000+05:30

My sheep and I, watch clouds swim by.
The grass is our bed, and sky above our head.
I lie and see, he roams free.
The slopes his heaven be, mine too this is the ecstasy.
The breeze wants to play, but we say not today.
Today we are just going to lie, my sheep and I.

Not too far, where other sheep are.
There is laughter & cry; fun and frolic for all there lie.
But my sheep and I, want nothing but time to pass by.
My sheep and I, just watch the clouds fly by.

He is eating grass I my lunch, who knows perhaps its supper perhaps its brunch.
It looks like the sun is going down, I am sad & he too has a frown.
We will have to leave soon, already we see the moon.
My sheep and I smile; they’ll both be here in a while.

I see her short, pretty & good. And her sheep looking as a sheep should.
She comes next to me & down she lie, and all of us watch the stars up high.
My sheep and I say, this was a perfect day.
She asks and its time to go, hand in hand we walk slow.
Her sheep and mine move ahead, we are silent there’s nothing to be said.
Perfect it was tomorrow too it’ll be, this is my life this is me.
Again my sheep and I, will come to see the clouds run by.

Reasons to hate

2008-04-09T15:38:00.004+05:30

A million reasons I got,

To despise you, to hate you.

A million reasons temptations I‘ve fought.

To tell you my thoughts, my views.

And though everyday

I battle, my soul cries.

My mind plots, heart prays,

Turn and twist I live in lies.

For though a million reason I got.

To despise you to hate you.

To stop loving you I still know not.

I hate....

2008-04-09T15:25:00.003+05:30

I hate it when you smile,

And time seems to stop for a while.

I hate it when you talk to me

For the world seems like a better place to be.

I hate it when you look into my eyes,

And there exists no more what when or why.

I hate your touch so soft and delicate,

I loose sense of self, time and date.

I hate it when you wonder why,

To amuse me, though, I know you lie.

I hate you as much hate can be,

Yet shall spend an eternity for your glimpse to see.

But I hate you the most,

For you can never be – “MY”

And yet I can’t

Stop living this lie.

Forever Loved

2008-04-09T14:39:00.010+05:30

With every breath I take,

I realize it’s a big mistake.

To hope that one day

You will find it in your heart to say,

Together we could have been.

A future you too had seen.

And though it would have been late.

Would lay ahead our sealed fate.

Yet knowing once I was thought of too,

A million battles I’d fight through.

And I know that doom lies ahead.

With things a million left unsaid.

I’d go on to fight again,

Knowing this soul shall perish in vain.

But this once I will go with a smile,

Cause now am happy, just for a while.

For now I would have known,

No regret, no reason, have I to mourn.

Cause you have had thought of me.

And that’s all I need for this eternity.

So before I bid adieu,

I hope you knew.

I have loved you.

Forever and more !!!!

My Mortality, My doom

2008-04-07T17:44:00.011+05:30

For a sin that I did not commit,

I was forgotten, I was banished.

Locked in the dungeons, my rumors went round.

I became The demon, feared and renowned.

None knew my face but I was known.

It became the howl, which I called my mourn.

Through isolation they took not only my sanity.

But made me a beast, took my humanity.

Then one day an offer was made.

I had become too feared, now they too were afraid.

So in mortal lands I was thrown.

Though I would soon return, to me was known.

Yet happy I was to have my freedom again.

No demon, no rumor, I was human, I was sane.

To suffer perils and death as my end.

An apt solution to suffer mortality, thus I was send.

So, thought for this my punishment assigned.

I bless my jury, thank you, you are too kind.

This is my gift, this is their brutality....

My doom, my haven, my mortality.

Spring

2008-03-29T14:48:00.004+05:30

From my roof I see,
The garden in front, the birds the bees.
And yellow twigs, the barren tree,
Dancing leaves flying free.
And sunlight playing hide 'N seek,
Creatures sing, the wind speaks.
A puddle of water lies asleep.
Theres a bud, trying to peep.
In a corner the pretty hide.
Rose, Sunflower, Yellow Red and White.
Teasing n taunting the garden they be.
These bushes, these shrubs look gossipy
Its all so nice, its all so good.
This my life, this is how it should.

I Forgot To Live

2008-03-27T14:40:00.006+05:30

At first I was dying to,
pass highschool and enter a respectable institution.
Then I was dying to,
get a job after passing the world of education.
And then I was dying to ,
fall in love and be wedd.
Then I was dying to,
my children's life lead.
After that I was dying to,
to get my children wed and send them away.
Then I was dying to,
retire and live my own merry way.
At last I was dying to,
make people follow what I say.

But then I remembered .....
I forgot to live a single day.
I forgot to live a single day.

Cloud Envy

2008-03-27T13:53:00.006+05:30

Of all, clouds I envy,
Thats what i want to be.
High above all, deep in the sky,
Winds to carry me by,
I wish to float not fly.

Wish no memory
No love for life, I just want to exist, just to be.
No dreams, nothing to aspire.
No fear of fall, no lust to rise higher.
Beyond good and evil, beyond truth and lie.
Take no side, never fail , never try.

No resposiblity, no expectation,
None despised, no admiration.
Of friends and foes no need there be
No burden of mortal realm, just free.

All day long, I float, just the sky and me,
And cloud thats all i want to be,
And just a cloud is all i want to be.
Thats my Cloud Envy.

Why

2008-03-26T16:05:00.007+05:30

Often i ask myself why ?
People want to be bold not shy.
They cry on their defeat,
Only aim to succeed.
Why they always want to win ?
Run from evil and sin.
Work during day not night.
Want peace avoid fight.
Why help people in need ?
Try to commit only good deed.
On gods why do they trust ?
And why competion has become a must ?
For others why must i care ?
Why trust ? Why share ?
I hear the reply
Of my each and every WHY
I hear from my thought
The question is not why but why not

-- class VII

The End

2008-03-26T08:15:00.003+05:30

Of broken hearts and shattered dreams,
Demolished stands and lost esteem.
Silent weeps and eternal sleep.
A tale of battle past this be
Alls lost, ain't no victory
Our strength is gone, the reason lost
earned this battle , but at what cost ?
And now we stand with new reasons to kill,
you slayed my kin, made me weep, yet more blood i need still.
And with this blow the war wil end.
Now i die, and to hell you too i send.
No ones left to weep no one to slew,
on our graves they'll start anew.

Soon we'd be a memory,
a myth , a tale thats all we'll be.
So raise your sword , I wish you luck.
End this nightmare in which am stuck.
No more reasons to live have i got,
Death I seek, freedom I sought.
And this ,the end, I waited long,
Death despair and darkness, thus ends my song.
This is the end.
