Child’s Play
Of His largesse imperial games,
adored spherical aqua ball.
Whirling it excited Him.
Packed with water and sand;
Decorated it green with trees ;
Placed vibrant flowers everywhere;
Multihued fruits ornate trees;
Everywhere green and blue,
made His eyes dull.
Placed dynamic lively dolls;
Puppet shows played everywhere;
Emotional dolls danced according to His wish;
Remotely controlled every progress ;
Active and alert are His moves.
And dear Creator,
in your childs play,
kindly compose my puppet show,
with love and care
making it a grand success.
–Shalini Samuel
” Child’s Play ” , is a vibrant and engaging poetic narrative dealing with hugely significant philosophical and existential questions in a dispassionate, faux naive style . An outstanding first post and share from our very newest member ! welcome Shalini Samuel to Destiny Poets !
