Some old Poems- Project Khazana #3

Hey everyone! So as you all know, I have this blog series called 'Project Khazana' where I edit my old poems. I was doing some more searching in my plethora of unpolished poetry to compose new and better ones when I found two, humorous ones. I mostly write about nature or deep thoughts and finding some which were a little light-hearted made me ecstatic! So I sat to edit them, but as I went line by line, I realized that it was hard to 'edit' something funny and make it 'better.'  

Those days, I presumed that poetry meant rhyming lines so I remember trying so hard just to make sure that a stern rhyme scheme was followed (no matter how silly the words were😅)

Hence, I decided to not edit them and post them just as it was written. 

I couldn't find the handwritten version as those were typed in a long word document.

Presenting: Sparrow's Meal and Sia's Dream!!! 

Sparrow’s Meal

Written when I was 7 years old. 

A Sparrow whose feathers are brown,

Had a frown,

A beetle passing by looked up,

Asked “Can I help by some tea in a cup,”

Sparrow followed beetle till the end,

Beetle took a dress to mend,

Sparrow thought,

Beetle bought some candies which had rot,

Sparrow jumped,

Beetle’s face pulped,

GULP!!!!

Beetle is in Sparrow’s tummy having tea!

I had submitted this poem for an International Writing Competition along with a skit and a story. I won a Special Mention in that but they never said for which writing I got it😂😂

Sia's Dream

Written when I was the same age (7)

Little Sia was asleep,

Then she dreamt of sheep!

Grazing on the land,

With a wand in her hand,

She went so high

That she could touch the sky!

She met a bird,

Who was a nerd!

She saw a cow

Performing a show!

Little Sia was awake,

She saw that it was all fake

Then she went to have cake. 

This poem was published in a children's magazine!
