Like a Sunflower (poem)

A sunflower is really beautiful,

Towards the sun, very dutiful.

She turns her head where the sun goes,

When night falls, her petals close.

She has a height which stuns all flowers,

And of nectar, she gives showers.

Her yellow petals are her hair,

Which she keeps with great care.

The prettiest flower? Yes, sunflower is the name.

Grows in fields and meadows, she has worldwide fame.

She faces the bright sun and leaves shadows behind,

A majestic flower, there's none of her kind.

A-Z Weather (poem)

A pleasant day is what we want in Summers!

Because it's very hot.

Cream with mangoes is yummy! It can be eaten as

Dessert, or an ice cream, as we go for a walk or a trot!

Extreme cold, snowflakes in Winter,

Fog and hail surround us too!

Good hot tomato soup, with croutons extra,

Hungrily lapped up by children, with some warm stew.

I am also one of those who

Just love the rains!

Kids with gum boots jump in muddy puddles,

Loving the weather, not bothering with the stains!

Most of the time, Autumn is pleasant,

Nice weather cool breeze,

Oh, the beautiful red and golden leaves,

Prettily falling from their tall trees!

Quails can be heard in Spring,

Replying to us with their melodious tweeting!

Somewhere hidden amongst the trees,

Twittering and cheeping and trying to sing!

Umpteen other things can be seen in nature,

Variety of plants and different creatures,

Weather changes when the earth moves around the sun,

'Xciting seasons come and go every few months.

You might think this poem lovely but long, like from

Zimbabwe to China to Dubai to Shillong!
