DISCONNECTED TRAIN RIDES

As I entered the train, saw no heads turn🚆,

Passengers have been busy since the morn🌅.

Everyone is in their own virtual zone🗔,

Peeping into their latest mobile phone📱.

No one to talk to, hear no snores💤,

As they picked up their mobiles before doing the chores🖁.

No longer they hear the engine blow horn📯,

Wearing headphones and listening to "The Music Of Ornn"🎧.

No laughs, no gags😂,

Only mindless scrolling and hashtags#.

Wide windows are now useless🪟,

I urge you to spend time on screen less📵.

The silence in the coach feels awkward🤐,

Watching things get out of hand is absolutely absurd.

Vendors working hard, shouting for their sales🛒,

But who cares, everyone buys online these days🛍.

Train rides never again seem to be fun🚄,

Just two reels more and then we are done...

FRIENDSHIP

On the path to being loyal friends for our long lives,

Like the stingless golden bees who forever live together in the same hives.

Will save each other when no one else can,

Unlike the fake friends who left and away they ran.

Our pictures of dazzling smiling white teeth,

A friendship whose destiny is to succeed.

Our epic friendship story,

A beautiful breathtaking glory.

Our chronicle of conversion from coal to diamonds,

A music – drenched tale of tears and laughter,

And heart – swelling triumph.

You all are my best friends for eternity,

Each one of you has completely unique personality.

-TULIKA TIWARI

GLIMMERING BLISS

It makes me happy when I look at the the endless sea🌊,

My face lights up full of glimmer and glee🤩.

I love the sound of to and fro waves🔊,

As they are the crystal clear calm noises I crave🔉.

Walking on the soft stress relieving sand🏖,

Is one of the few things that make me glad😊.

GOLDEN TORTOISE BEETLE

An insect that got in my home🏠,

All itself alone .

North American insect named Golden Tortoise Beetle🌎,

Living in India without a passport is legal?

It is not only found in India,

But also in China and Indonesia🌏.

Its colour is gold,

Walks like an insect who is very old.

That insect is so strange🦗,

Tortoise and Beetle have so different range🐢.

THE TINY DANCER

The tiny dancer wearing pointe shoes🩰,

To the ballet academy is new.

She is one of the best ballerinas few,

But her name nobody knew.

हिन्दी दिवस

  

आओ मिल कर करे तैयारी,

हिंदी की अब आई बारी ।

ये है हमारी राष्ट्रभाषा,

पर हमको इसका ज्ञान आधा ।।

हिंदी की है वर्णमाला,

जिस पर स्वर , व्यंजन का ताला ।

इसमें है बावन सदस्य,

जो इसको रखते व्यस्त ।।

क , ख , ग , घ , ड़ इसके कंठव्य ।

च , छ , ज , झ , ञ इसके तालव्य ।।

ट , ठ , ड , ढ , ण है मूर्धन्य।

त , थ , द , ध , न है दंतव्य ।।

प , फ , व , भ , म है औष्ठव्य ।

अ से अः तक इसके स्वर ,

बाकी सब कहलाते व्यंजन ।।

आओ हम ले इसका ज्ञान ।

और इसको बनाए महान ।।

हिंदी है भारत की शान ,

क्योंकि हिंदी में विज्ञान।।

🙏🇮🇳🙏

POLLUTION'S DANGEROUS IMPACT

Creating pollution, Avoiding the solution .

Global warming is increasing🌞,

Flora and fauna species are decreasing🐧,

Coral Reefs are also dying.

Glaciers and Icebergs are melting🏔,

Floods and Tsunamis are coming🌊.

 

Throwing plastic in oceans♳,

Giving our Earth so much burden🧊.

Changing rivers’ route🚣,

In some places causing drought⛅.

Upcoming extreme weather events🌀,

Like many more heat waves🔥.

 

Threatening the planet in a new unexpected way🌍,

Volcanic eruptions, avalanches🌋,

And triggering earthquakes every day⛈.

Rain, Snow and storms🌨,

Now, our Earth is deformed🌦.

All because of global warming,

What has happened to the world 🌎,

In which we are living.

The Earth is slowly getting worse🌏,

We need to take care of it like a nurse🩺.

THE UNNECESSARY POEM

The Art Gallery🎭,

Had some mysterious mystery🔮.

The Baker from the bakery🎂,

Showed some bravery.

He unlocked the code,

using the stuff of machinery🔨.

He found a laptop battery🖥,

Along with a set of cutlery🍴.

Including the stuff of pottery,

Which is usually found in the nursery🌿.

Why did you read this poem,

It's unnecessary.

POETIC WRITING

When the words come out of my hand✋,

Flow in a rhythm or rhyme📄,

It’s the time for the poem to be called mine👧.

Poem is full of fascinating words,

Which appreciate the world around us🌇.

Poem refreshes my mood and makes my day,

It brings out my writing skills in a better way✍.

Poem’s strength lies in its ability,

Where I can create a beautiful poem from a short story.

Poem shows the different shades of human beings,

Expressing feelings in literature is what a poem means.

होली

होली मेरा प्रिय त्योहार 🎊,

इसमें रंगों की बौछार 🟡।

ह से हल्ला , ह से होली ,

बच्चें खेले गुलाल और रोली 🔴।

ल से लड्डू , ल ले लाई🟠 ,

हम सब खाते गुजिया मलाई ।

बच्चें लाते रंग गुलाल 🔵,

और रंग देते सबके गाल 🟢।

बच्चें लाते बड़ी पिचकारी 🔫,

जिससे निकले रंगों की धारी 🟣।

बुरा न मानो होली है ,

यह तो बच्चों की टोली है👫 ।

COCONUT

Two years ago, in October, we met a cat📆,

Who was really easy to pet.

All you need to do is stand still👭,

She will come to you on her own will.

We named her Coconut🥥,

She was as socialized as Lovebirds🐦.

Coconut – The most adorable meowing cat😺,

The best animal whom I ever met 🐈.

During the time of lockdown and curfew,

The doorbell didn't ring but meowed you😻.

Her beautiful eyes sometimes showed love, sometimes glare,

sometimes a scary death stare👀.

Even though she could only say "meow😽",

Her eyes asked us, "Kya mein ghar ke andar aau (me ow) 😼?"

Everyday, she looked after my basil plant🪴,

Like a compassionate caretaking aunt👩.

Coconut and Peach always fought like Tom and Jerry😾,

But both the cats were always merry😸.

The way she expressed her emotions,

Made her the one chosen.

She never broke anything in our house🏡,

And never ran away just to catch a mouse🐁.

At the pigeons she always stared😹,

Which made all the pigeons really scared 😬.

Her way of playing games was very unique,

As she always won when we played Hide and Seek.

We had a special bond of mutual understanding,

Where I understood her and she understood me.

She got very famous in our society.

Calming everyone's stress and anxiety.

Now, who thought a calico cat would be so interesting,

Who ended up teaching us so many things🙀.

Whenever she slept on the cozy bed🛏,

I was there too, just sleeping beside her head🤯.

Whenever she came to us, always made me smile😊,

Don’t know why viral fever took her far a mile.

When she was gone, many flats filled with tears🏢,

Especially the ones of me and my neighbor’s.

I really hate that viral fever😿,

Which forever took away my satisfaction.

I miss her a lot,

Forget her no one cannot.

I know that I will never be able to meet her again,

But her memories flood my brain.

I still hear many cats’ noise🔊,

But none of them is Coconut’s voice😞.

 OFFLINE SCHOOL AFTER LOCKDOWN

School is saying no to canteen🥫,

So now coming to school is no longer my dream🏫.

All time social distancing and wearing mask😷,

Where completing homework is your daily task📚.

At school, no permission to mobile phone📱,

So, better attend online classes and stay at home🏠.

LOST AND FOUND

I found a stamp album🖃,
with a black covering gum⚫.

If anyone has lost it,
then please contact,
through the chit📝.

I had found it near the football field🏈,
But already it is all sealed.

Contact me during the lunch hour ,
Where I will meet is near,

A sleek, small, red, Japanese car🚗,

Currently, which is very far.

OCEAN

The smell of the ocean,

Is like a fish tank but open.

Life of fishes differ from an aquarium,

Here they perform on sea shells like in an auditorium.

The water is crystal clear,

For jellyfishes’ glowing competition, let us cheer.

MY CHILDHOOD HOUSE

My maternal grandparent’s old house has a big courtyard🏡,

With so many ducks that came at our house’s private ghat 🦆.

So many trees of mangoes and neem 🥭,

Including Papayas and jackfruits trees🌲.

It was my home of sorrows and fun🥳,

My aurous and the only one.

Situated beside the Sagar Lakha Banjara Lake🤽,

Where we did boating all the day🚣.

We gave food to monkeys, cows, goats🐐,

And to my maternal grandfather’s favorite dog named Facebook🐶.

The morning rising sun behind the hills🌄,

and that beautiful sunset with the shadow on the lake🌅.

The chirping of the birds🐦,

The sound of the ringing bells of the temples🛕.

This beautiful scenery has a lot of worth🌇,

All atmosphere gives the feeling of heaven on the Earth🌏.

That flaming hill, where I once played🚵,

Only reminds me of those days when I slayed.

The calm shore where I played with ducks, squirrels, birds🦆,

Yes, that’s where I spent my childhood👶.
