Others call me an orphan,
but that’s not what I believe.
My mother is always around me,
whether I’m in Anchorage or Surat.

Mother
She walks in and says “Good Morning”
And flashes her charming smile without a warning
Her gorgeous eyes stare with a charismatic glow
As she says “Darling, won’t you say hello?”
Japan – An experience of a lifetime!
In Japan, I found myself again,
From busy but clean streets,
To lush and green countryside.
A land so busy, yet so calm,
It was so bright, so clean,
With the Cherry blossom’s gentle breeze.
An Idiom Party
I was as busy as a bee,
But then my brother started to iron my head.
I just hoped he wouldn’t spill the beans,
I sat silently, filled with dread.
Late for School
Chaos frolicked around my home as I was late
At school the teacher would scold me, what would be my fate?
I gobbled up my breakfast and rushed out the door
And that’s when I realised my project was lying on the floor.
I Will Rise
Anyone can put me down,
Still, no one will see me frown.
Bitterness will not affect me,
Sweetness will always attract me.

Finally, I am conquering the feat
Of making the world’s most beastly sandwich seen
Poisonous if you do eat
Enough to make one’s mouth go scream
In the Shadows of Laughter

I grew up
Overshadowed by laughter,
Where the books spoke wisdom.
A Trendsetter: Modern Juliet
I was sure my face
looked greener than green.
He looked down upon me,
I was sure he thought,
“Thou look like a rat catcher.”
God, why did I tend to embarrass myself?
The Propagators of Knowledge
A teacher is our mentor
To her, children are front and centre
Full of compassion and hope
Assures us that we all have scope,
Looks at us with eyes full of adore.
