Full Moon - Poem


Kids poem

A Cannon ball

A lost Balloon

A Peppermint

A pool of Lead

A mighty Lump

Of Porridge limp

A lamp, a polished

Dustbin Lid

The Hubcap from an auto route

The Helmet of

An Astronaut

A Mottled dish

Or Disc at dusk

will sink almost

In mist, or moistly Float

-William Beably Wright

 

The moon is described in a new way comparing it with different objects which we see in our daily life. The poet expresses how the moon’s shape looks.  He says the Moon looks like a round metal cannon ball which can be seen in olden times at war. 

Moon looks like a round balloon which is lost in the open space. It looks like a white round peppermint (not the polo peppermint with a hole in the centre) which the kids love to eat. The moon looks like a pool of soft metal-lead.

The round moon looks like a lump in the porridge- cereals with water or milk. It also looks like a round metal lid of an old fashioned bin which was kept in corners of the streets. The moon looks like a hubcap – the cover that protects the centre of the wheel in an auto. It also looks like a round helmet of an astronaut.

The moon looks like a round dish (Idly). 

It also looks like a CD, which floats in the damp evening sky.

Goldy, a Friendly Fish

Nagapattnam, a place in Tamil Nadu is a coastal area. Most people do fishing for their survival. Early morning, fishermen get ready with their fishing rod, big wired nets, baskets, and other accessories which are needed for fishing. They also pack some food and drinking water as they don’t know when they will be back to home. In a small village in Nagapattam, there lived a fisherman named Mattu. Mattu was a tall, strong and dark man with short curly hair. He wears colorful dhoti and a white vest with a munda (a piece of cloth) tied as a turban to his head. By 3.00 am, he packed his things and left for fishing in deep sea. That day, the sea was very violent and stormy. Big waves raised up the yatch. His yatch was almost about to drown. He shouted for help, being in the middle of the sea. None could hear him in that strong wind. Mattu’s Yatch drowned. He held a piece of wood from the yatch and was floating. Back in the village, Liloo, Mattu’s daughter was worried that her father...

A Man who loved Pigeons - Nikola Tesla

Once upon a time a boy baby was born in dark stormy night. The doctor said to his mother that this baby was borne to darkness. But the baby’s mother said “No, He will be a child of Light”. His parents named him Nikola Tesla. He was very good in science. His mother was the main reason for his obsession towards science. Nikola’s mom was a small time inventor. She invented an egg beater and other appliances which will make the household works, fast and quick. When Nikola was a young boy, he was affected by Cholera.

Nikola was excellent in his studies. He secured first rank in his class. Every day after his class gets over, he goes for work to earn some money. Because of his work, he lost interest in studies. Nikola started working as a chief electrician in a telephone exchange. He invented Te...

Save every drop of water

It was a bright sunny morning. Golu woke up and stretched his hands with a slow “…yaaaahh….”. He got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Without turning off the water tap, he was brushing his teeth for a long time and emptied the whole water tank in his house. When he was about to wash his mouth and brush he found that no water came from the tap. He tapped the tap’s top and turned the value from left to right and right to left. He was confused “I saw the water  coming a minute back, now what happened??” he thought scratching his head. He called his Grandfather “Grandpa! Grandpa! Please come here!” Golu’s grandfather hurriedly came to Golu’s room. He thought Golu  is  in trouble. Golu: “Grandpa, I was brushing my teeth and there is no water coming out of this tap. Is there a mistake with the tap?? Please check Grandpa” Grandfather thoroughly inspected the tap. The tap was perfect. He checked the water line pipes for leakage. It was good ...
