AISWARYA T ANISH Poems
“Wow! It’s Christmas, happiness coming
Now for the gift welcoming loving
Then to the church to bow before God
And to the market to buy me a gift
...
I saw a nice little flower…
Enjoying herself in the nice warm fields…
The place felt fine, what a beautiful sight! !
Why didn't it come yesterday? !
...
Last night, I saw a monster.
First it was just a shadow
By degrees it became clearer and clearer
Finally it stood out
...
The eyes of the dark
Which see through the dimly lit full moon
The snowy flakes,
Covers the graveyard which wakes
...
Oh! Where’s it for our crops?
We need the river water drops.
Where’s it for our thirst to clear?
Where are the tears, are they near?
...
WINTER'S SPELL
Ended, hence, the glorious time of the sun’s lifespan,
The trees were fully clothed, in leaves
...
Reader Beware: Check weather all the cupboards in your house are closed and all your precious things are rat-free. Yes? Then you can read this. ‘Cause anytime, any minute, any second, a rat attack can occur in your house.
“Humans have developed,
Then why not us? ”
...
Which is your favorite place on Earth? Hears mine........
The sun promised a charming dawn every dusk,
And went off for a nap in his husk
...
I see her every morning on her way to business
Printed cloth around her legs, a red blouse
Carrying her basket of old fish, listless
She is, listless. She is fisherwoman-
...
All poets write in insanity
Impervious, to the entire
You,
The king of your own poetic empire
...
On hands their praise, of sounds that made
Tantrums thrown upon the keyboard, the maid
Rush to her master, little, a toddler
Twisting the house of Van Dudler on his little finger
...

The Best Poem Of AISWARYA T ANISH
The Great Valuable Gift On Christmas Day
“Wow! It’s Christmas, happiness coming
Now for the gift welcoming loving
Then to the church to bow before God
And to the market to buy me a gift
I have the fifty cents all for myself”
Fanny jumped happily, she ran out to shop.
Dancing and skipping she went on her way
Across holy Churches,
Across lit up houses
Across snow laden parks and snowy canals
Gardening, sweating
She had made her money.
“I want a present,
A present I want,
I had a hard time to earn these
Christmas is the best time to forget it all”
She cried out with joy,
To the man in the shop
Beautiful pastries and plum cakes a fresh
Packed up in boxes
She left from the shop
But lo! At the end of the street, she did see
A young dainty lady, holding her child
Sobbing away at the plight so sad
Tired she looked, unhappy too
For her baby was sick and hungry too
Fanny stood still and thought for a while
Then the gift to the child, she smilingly gave
The two of them,
Very grateful now, went on their way to their cold little home
Blessed is the child,
Who gift from the heart
Rest she will ever in the arm of her Lord.

AISWARYA T ANISH Comments
Is it possible that you are only 11 years old? I can hardly believe someone so young can write such eloquent poetry.
its crazy how you flow so smoothly and you're only 11 years old, i want say its hard to believe, but its amazing, i love your style
Aiswarya, power of your poems should change those who could never be changed and that needs change... for good. All the best.
I like your poem comment on my newly written poems I wish I wrote back then
This is a very beautiful and well written poem. Way beyond someone of your years. I also feel bad for the people who do these things to the beautiful gifts from heaven that God himself gives to us...
as the man said ¬`the pen is mighter than the sword` keep writingI I also love fiowers best regards archie
