They brought a dinosaur cake, While the cat meowed and looked grumpily, The records played Lana Del Ray, While the girl danced frumpily; I spoon the noodles in my mouth, Itching to escape to my room with a book, But alas, the cushions have been cast off from the couch, And the feline has disappeared…
Red
Ring around the rosie,A pocket full of posies. I told you my secret While you were noseyAshes! Ashes! My compassion is in snatches, About your skeletons I found out,Thusly, we all fall down.
Never Mind
Butter lines the circumference of her mouth, She gobbles popcorn and thinks of buying a new couch, The snow flurries play havoc outside the windows, A chocolate to eat and a chocolate to drink Will make this day complete While the choir in Home Alone sings.
Of Toffees & Chocolates
I eat Uncle Chips after coming home from school, Kids play cricket in the park I sleep covered by razais and love, In the evening I wake up and eat Maggi I do my homework for a bit or two Of course, all in cursive writing Then I eat daal chawal and some lamb stew…
Tea
Dreams ache behind my eyes, I awake and lie still A longing in my heart For the subconscious and free If I could have one thing It would be to sit by the riverbank And write poetry under a tree.
