Mankind’s Best Friends
As darkness closes and predators prowl nearby,The Neanderthal seeks shelter underneath a tree,Ripping off one of its limbs and starting a hearty fire.Warmth, light and safety, provided by the ancient giants of the forest. In the dead of the winter, the pioneer wakes up the sleeping giants with his axe,Taking logs to build his cabin, which will protect his family through the freezing cold.The hearty fire now burns in his home all night long,Smoke rising up to meet the sky,...

Hari Parbat*
Across the lake,it would appear as the crowning jewel.It would appear slowly,from within the fog. With a change of season,the colours and shades would change.Sometimes red, sometimes yellowand sometimes appearing orange.Now, I don’t know,in what state it is in?Although it’s surrounded by water,it appears thirsty.

NATURE
This morning is a bright sunny day, Gleaming leaves in the sun’s ray, In the morning there is a sight, To see the sun very bright. A butterfly in a flower bed, Is so pretty if you want to bet, Chirping birds are all around, Squirrels peeping out of their house. Wind blows, rustling the leaves, Then peace all around the trees, The flow of the river and the playing of fish, Is so beautiful you can’t even guess. Then...

My Magnolia Tree
I look out my window, on a cold and dreary day,Feeling sad and gloomy, wishing I could go outside and play. Suddenly I hear a whisper, “Look up here Avni!You are not alone, it’s your friend the magnolia tree!” My frown breaks into a smile, my heart fills with love,My beautiful magnolia tree with big green leaves, flowers white as doves. It says to me quietly, bringing its branches down,“You will always have friends in nature, take a look around!”...
