Date With The Lake

As the Sun makes his vanishing act,
The Moon takes over his job
Accompanied by Edison's evolved wonders.

Chirping birds are busy in sweet dreams
Filling their spots are chirps and squeaks
Of six legged arthropods and  bats

He loses himself gazing at her
In her , he finds himself,
Her lucidity mystifies him

With green photosynthetic beauties
Playing the symphony of silence
With a timely disturbance of honks and horns

The calmness which she has, eludes him
Being such a center of attraction
Yet so simple , yet so humble

Deep within this concrete jungle
In the desert of modern times
She is the oasis of nature!

Cat Of Many Colors

I was all dark and black
But something I used to lack 



With my color, I was fed
So I wished to be all red. 



Everyone told me, I was a silly fellow 
So I changed myself to yellow


But then I felt quite mean 
Because with jealousy I turned green 


After all this, I had no clue
With sadness I turned blue


At last, I fell into a dark sack,
Finally I came back to being my dear black

This was an impromptu rhyme I came up with while attending a workshop on telling stories to kindergarten kids conducted by Dr.Vatsala Iyengar ... Haven't made much edits to my original draft
