How It All Started

We were given an assignment in school,

'Create a poem using your creativity'

The topic had already come to my mind.

I had thought 'A Bow that is Pretty!'

Now, the poem seems a little lame.

Obviously, I was only a kiddie.

My pencil flew across the page.

Ta- da! The poem was ready!

My teacher mentioned it specially!

Could be, she liked it a lot.

I began developing interest,

I started making poems with simply a thought.

My parents guided me to the next step.

My very own blog, yes, mine!

I had fallen in love with (making) poems.

The idea suited me just fine.

September was the month it started.

I was feeling giddy inside.

It was christened 'Mahi's Words'

My heart had swollen with pride.

Its been 2 years now.

My blog has gained popularity (I hope!)

I feel happy the way it started

with 'A Bow that is Pretty'

Yes, this is how it started. I was in the fifth grade, with Tanya ma'am as our English teacher. She gave birth to my love for making poems. My parents? They took it forward. Kudos to all of them. Of course, also to all my lovely readers who have supported me so far!

(Ironically, I absolutely hate understanding poems written by superlyamazingly deep poets, like Robert Frost. Not that he is not great, just doesn't suit my mood. You too? Mention in the comments below!) 

Thank you!

Personalities

There are as many people in the world

As many on Earth there are creatures

Humans have different personalities,

Along with distinctive features.

Some are sharp like my sister, Pahal,

Or like my friend, Durva, are humorous.

Some trust only one to keep secrets.

While some others have confidantes numerous!

Some like to write poems or stories,

Others want to paint and draw.

Some are aspiring engineers

Others are interested in law

Some people are quiet and silent

Some are superouslyultra- jumpy

Some want to visit Paris

Others go for Hampi!

We should respect everyone's qualities

They are, after all, humans only

Never ignore anyone around you

Make sure that they don't feel lonely

Let them know you care

'Cause everyone is their own self

Encourage their special talents

Don't forget to be yourself!

Hey there! I hope you liked the poem. As promised, the winner of the  riddle from my previous poem, Durva has been given a special mention. So has Pahal who made several attempts. If want to get featured, look out for my upcoming poems! You might get a chance yourself. Don't forget to tell me which line of my poem matches your personality. And if none does, mention it down!

The Small Little Things

A walk by the beach

A chocolate to eat

A game of cards

A bird that goes 'tweet'!

A little poetry

A genuine like

A friend to share secrets with

A peaceful mountain hike

A laugh now and then

A little TV time

A coo from a baby

A tinkling wind chime

A lick from a puppy

A kiss from a cat

These small things make me happy

No reason, just like that :)

Making this poem made me feel giddy inside, I would like to thank Ki for giving me this topic and always supporting me. 

And now you have a chance of appearing in my future poem. The first person to solve the riddle below and comment gets a feature in any upcoming poem. (That is if I know you!)

What is the shortest word that is a sentence in itself on the English language?

Be true and don't google it!

Thank you!

The Wildest Fantasies

Have you ever thought or imagined,

how humans with 4 eyes would look?

or if animals could talk and speak,

and so could our beloved books!

If we could fly oh so high

and talk to non living things

Or lived in the blue sky,

with pigeons as our kings!

If we had 8 days in a month,

and 2 in each week,

if lions were afraid of rats,

so tiny, timid and meek?

If we were born with white hair,

and our mouth had replaced our nose,

If lotuses were an ugly green,

and we could find a golden rose!

Imagining doesn't hurt no one,

It is the key to many a-door,

It helps me write poems like this,

and makes me wild more!

What is your wildest fantasy? Riding unicorns? Or is it eating transparent popcorn? Do let me know in the comments below! Don't forget comment and subscribe for frequent updates!

Thanks!

Friends

Friends are always by your side.

They don't care what others think.

They try hard to pull you out from you misery.

No matter how deeper in grief you sink.

A supporter, someone selfless and loyal

Is everything a friend should be.

We should never keep things from each other.

Remember, honesty is the key.

The friends I have in my life,

Are friends I am grateful to have.

They always have my back.

They are truly amazing and fab.

Friends do fight among themselves,

But they never stay apart for long

One real friend is better than two fake ones

Keep the true ones with you life long

Make your choices wisely,

You are defined by the company you keep

Be truthful, treat your friends nicely

What you sow is always what you reap.

Durva, thank you for the topic!

My Favorite (And Embarrassing) Memory

It happened when I was in Canada.

A shy wee little girl you know.

I was just in the 4th standard.

And I always went with the flow.

I was playing in the lobby of our building.

Riding a scooter and other random things.

I started playing 'Let's Pretend',

Where I was a fairy with wings

At the end of the floor's corridor

Was a fire alarm that read 'Pull Me'.

Well, I decided to obey its command.

And I did what I thought the best would be

And lo! Sirens started ringing all over.

I ran as if my head was on fire.

I dragged my scooty behind me,

With it rolling on just one tyre.

I really did not know this would happen.

I thought I was gone for, for sure

Then I saw my mother, smiling.

And yep, she obviously had a cure.

She calmly went outside

and shut the cover with a slam.

I narrated everything, she just laughed.

At least there weren't any cams!

I realized how stupid I had been,

we shouldn't listen to strangers.

Obeying all commands is not so good.

It leads to many dangers!

Ask an elder before you do anything.

Just don't listen to heart much

Now that I think of it,

It wasn't my fault as such!

There, the secret is out. Yes, this happened to me. What about you? Do you have any embarrassing moments that you want to share? Be brave and tell them in the comments below!

Ki, thank you for giving me this topic!

My Uncle's Wish

My uncle asked my cousins and I,

To write something creative on our own.

I decided to write a poem but,

on realizing something I uttered a moan.

I needed a topic to write on,

to fulfill my uncle's solemn wish.

Some topics did circle my mind,

like "Keeping happy and feeding a fish"!

Nah! That's too boring I thought.

Something else would have to be done.

Other ideas included "Sweets",

"School", "Cars" and "How to Have Fun"

Suddenly I had an awesome idea,

to write a poem on this event that took place.

Let me present that in front of you,

Let me see the expression on you face.

The poem you are reading now

is the poem that I have written.

For the next challenge by my uncle,

I think the topic might be "Kittens"!

Phew! Topics seem to be my nightmare when writing poems. Help me out, will ya? Mention some topics that you want me write a poem on in the comments below. If you want I can also write a poem on you! (That is if I know you!).

Hey You!

Hey you! Yes you! Of course I am talking to you.

Do you like my poems? Do you like my blog?

Then why don't you subscribe? not even a comment?

Have you STILL been simply sleeping like a log?

This poem is for those who really undelight me.

There are only a few who truly and actually care.

They help me with my blog, and tell me my mistakes,

I'm talking about Ki and a few unknowns here and there!

I am NOT threatening you. No sir! Not at all!

I simply want people to like my muses.

So please follow my blog, whoever you are.

And please, don't give me excuses!

I agree a person like you must be really busy!

Chores, homework, and tell me what not?

But just take a little time out.

Help me give to you my best shot!

I truly appreciate the views I am getting,

thanks to you from the bottom of my heart.

I must credit all my readers for this.

That I am getting better at my art!

Do NOT get angry... The poem is only for entertainment purpose... but I do appreciate Ki and the other unknowns who follow my blog and comment. You could follow me too!
Thanks for reading my poem!!

Shifting

Shifting is tedious indeed, 

mess here and there.

Sometimes I can't find my books,

other times? Comb to brush my hair!

I recently shifted to a new house.

It is yet to be called a home.

The society is beautiful and huge.

With thousands of places to roam.

Another defect of shifting

To a new place; Is making a friend.

Someone who you can trust,

to help you sorrows to end.

A new place is exciting,

with amazement bubbling inside us.

But settling is a tough job,

There's always a lot of fuss.

Finally our home starts to grow on us.

We no longer feel weird.

With exploring and opening up.

Our muddled head is finally cleared.

At first I felt like Zan Gaudioso,

From her story "A House is not a Home"

But now I feel truly at Heaven,

Not like an outcast anymore. (Thanks Ki!)

Yeah... I know... The last line does not match. But hey! Don't look at me like that! Even I bound to make... umm... Mistakes? Whatever

Remember to tell me if you agree with my thoughts on shifting!

Thanks!!!

Technology

Technology has taken over the world.

Believe me, it can be used to make curd.

Earlier, it was almost non-existent,

Now it is used to create machines magnificent.

Cool right? It has made the world faster,

It helps to make things that long laster.

However, sometimes its not that beneficial,

On social media, there are profiles artificial.

Never forget to stay cautious and safe,

It can create electricity, with the help of a wave.

Overall, tech has some disadvantages.

It binds us to phones, as if locked in cages.

Later, tech will cause families to drift apart,

To prevent this, we need to be smart.

Otherwise humans will behave like a robot.

We won't even realize is we drown in a moat.

Girls will search about makeup and fashion,

Boys? Well, its always sports and gaming passion.

Young or old, rich or poor.

We will have access to tech, that's for sure!
