Butterfly…

  • O butterfly, butterfly
    Teach us to fly
    We want to reach the sky
    Touch the milky moon
    And play with stars
    O butterfly, butterfly
    Teach us how and why
    You are so beautiful
    We want to beautify
    Ourselves like you
    And attract attention of all
    O butterfly, butterfly
    Tell us the way
    In which we may
    Make ourselves colourful
    And we may be playful
    We want to be cheerful
    O butterfly, butterfly
    Tell us the secrets
    Of your beauty
    Unveil the mystery
    How do you fly
    We want to fly
    Like you beautiful butterfly
    O butterfly, butterfly

Nature’s Mood In The Wood…

While crossing a woods
I found countless birds
And innumerable animals
In merry mood
As they were celebrating festivals
With beautiful colours
And a variety of flowers
The birds sing song
And all plants thronged 
To enjoy the songs
And see the dance
By some chance
The leaves were clapping
To cheer up the birds
In the woods
I thought and thought
And almost pondered
On this Earth
Everything living
Or non-living
An inherent quality
To communicate to us
And a way to express
Their merry and mirth
Something you need
To see and heed
And that is nothing
But the heart of a man
And an eye of a poet to scan
With tender heart
Feel the unfelt
In poetry spelt 
Shashikant Nishant Sharma

See What Dad Is Mad …

  • One day my dad
    To me, said
    O my son
    See and scan
    To get worldly pleasure
    I am mad
    But it is very bad
    Even after gaining in great measure
    I am surely sad
    I have lost all pleasure
    When I was a child
    My son like you
    I was so mild
    But you can see now
    I have turned stern
    Always seeking to earn
    I learn and learn
    And trick one another
    But O my son
    See and scan
    I want to be better
    Wealthier and richer
    But after gaining wealth
    I have lost my health
    Health of character
    Wealth of moral
    That once protected like coral
    When I was a child
    I was very good
    Now I have grown old
    And become so bad
    I have lost the art
    How to laugh from the core of heart
    I have lost the treasure of laughter
    How can I be better
    O my son
    See and scan
    When I was a child
    I was pure like gold
    Simple and good
    Fearless and bold
    Life was full of simplicity
    But now I have turned old
    I feel as if I have sold
    Treasure of childhood
    And see what I’ve earned
    A life full of complexity
    No time to enjoy
    Like a little school boy
    Now life is full of formality
    But in reality
    There is nothing
    Like reading the eyes
    Feeling sympathy
    And seeing the core of heart
    O my son
    If you can
    Teach me if you can
    Teach me how to laugh
    And how to be in merry-mood
    I want to unlearn
    All the tricks and artificiality
    I want to be natural
    I want to be happy
    As I used to be in childhood
    Take me away from the woods
    Woods of the needs
    And unhealthy deeds
    O my son if you can
    See and scan
    Be a model man

Metro Girl…

Style of talking
And way of stalking
In the life style
And on the face smile
Well nicely dressed
And semi-naked
Modern metro girls
Facial expression inviting
Dress and style provocating
Girls in jeans and t-shirt
Want to have relation short-cut
One night stand
Can you understand? 
Friendship and no relationship
Relationship without feeling and emotion
Trend of the day
They do say

A Man is a Man…

  • A man is a man
    He will always gaze and scan
    Cute comely girl
    Hair silky and curl
    Well maintained figure
    He will scan without miss
    A beautiful lady or a miss
    From head to foot
    Cap, goggles and boot
    Body built and structure
    High middle stature
    All her action
    And her expression

It’s better to forget all

It’s better to forget all
Than to recall
And become sad
Feel something bad
And turn yourself mad
If you only had
The things that lost
Time which in now ghost
The girl whom you loved most
The friends you considered best
And turned to be worst
In time of need
And loneliness indeed
Then, it’s better to forget all
Than to recall 
And spoil your happiness
Embitter your sweetness
The incidents that occurred
The losses you concurred 
The moment which is no more
When your friend dived in sea
You remained on shore
Only to witness and see
He came back never
Got lost forever
It is better to forget all
And never recall
Unpalatable incidents
Unutterable accidents
That saddens our heart
Quarrel and strife
That hurt heart
And make the life unhappy
Things so cheap and crappy
The setback and downfall
It is better to forget all

My Marvelous Country…

  • My marvelous country
    Welcomes the entry
    Of good gracious virtues
    Of different cultures
    Of different countries
    Some new and some old
    Some precious like gold
    Some shining like silver
    Some pure like water
    My country IndiaAdopts the idea
    From far and wide
    From inside and outside
    Before virtues, we bow
    And withstand the blowBlow of evil
    And keeps herself still
    Like a strong hill

Measure of Success…

  •  A man’s success is not measured 
    By how how high he has climbed
    But it is measured
    By seeing his ability
    Quantity and quality
    How how he bounces back
    When he falls to bottom
    We can’t see the ever greenness
    Of any tree
    In the month of spring
    Actually springs lack
    The power to measure
    The ever greenness of tree
    In the month of autumn
    It becomes clear
    Which is evergreen 
    And which is not 
    Great is one
    Who achieve greatness
    On his own
    Neither those who inherit greatness
    Nor there who is thrust upon greatness
    Self made man 
    Can stand the test of time
    He can change time
    He can leave footprints
    On the sand of time

World Environment Day

  • Be in Nature’s tune
    On 5th of June
    Celebrate Environment Day
    Come forward without delay
    To put in action what teachers say
    Make environment clean
    Don’t throw here and there
    Wastes, garbage and rags
    Use earthen pots and paper bags
    Say good bye to polythene
    To make environment better
    Each one plant one more tree
    To make Earth greener
    And pollution free
