A Lovable Picture Poem by Meena Somasundaram

The monkey out there
sitting on a tree
playing all alone
somersaulting so beautifully
caught my eyes
and I stood there for long
totally captured by its pranks.

A little while later its mother got near
took the little one by hand
leading him through the branches carefully
fed him with what she brought
eagerly the kid munched the berries
and in turn gave a little nut
that it had gathered.

This took the mother by surprise
who took the kid and gave a kiss
patting it on its back
nestled it close with love
the little one was joyous
ad clang to the mother tightly
being a loving picture to see.
