(114) View Of The Sun Poem by Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)

Greeted by the rooster's usual crow
I watched the fishermen at sea
As their little boats began to row
The people were in a hustle bustle
Getting ready to go for work
I saw a man with his tie stuck in a fence
I let out a soft smirk
Children are running around their homes
Getting ready for school fast
But on their way they broke things like
Showpieces in their haste
After some time saw
The school kids studying
And taxis and buses
On the road were hurrying
I wished I could play with someone
The clouds were always rude
They always hide the view of Earth
And they always spoil my mood
My friend Moon is very nice
With him I share my light
But I can’t play with him because
He only comes at night
It was afternoon on earth
And the people were making a racket
I was feeling so hot I wished
Tiny Pluto would lend me his cold blanket
Time flew and it was evening
All the kids were back from school
Some were doing homework
While many others were lazing in the pool
Some people were back from work
And preparing food for hungry mouths to feed
And I saw a lone boy in his garden
Planting a mango seed
Before I knew it, night fell
And it was time for me to retrieve
But I wasn’t going empty handed
With many memories I leave
I felt myself being pulled down
On my way I met the moon
I felt drowsy but managed to say
Goodnight, I’ll be seeing you soon.
