VERSES




why do you
speak

in verses Mother..

is it an easy way

to pass on

what you like to
say?




Mother laughs

like a hundred
tinkling bells

the song echoes

in every living cell




why don’t you ask..

o child of mine

why i write

nursery rhymes..



Yes..even that
Mother

laugh as much as
you like

n please explain

the way you write




you have how
many earth years?

i hear me sigh

on this question of
hers

27 i reply..




Do you remember

your nursery rhymes?

yes..i hear my
answer

yes..dear Mother
of mine


Do you recollect

comes the
question next..

All they taught

from your high
school text?




No..of course not

i hear me sigh

all that i forgot

in years gone by




have you
wondered

why nursery
rhymes

have always stood

the test of time..


Yes i have
wondered


but i don’t know


what i found


because i
discovered


a love for it
unbound




Tis all True..she
tinkles


poetry is mystery


mystery is beauty


n what did i say..


Is life for a child…








She sings in the
tune…

Of a thousand
wind chimes…

She sings in the
wind..

N echoes in the
voices..

Of countless little
children..

n ancient nursery
rhymes
