Vera Sidhwa Poems

I bought apples and oranges,
And rolled them down the sidewalk.
All the kids did the same.
We made apple juice
...

Hello blue sky,
You make me wanna sigh.
Oh so beautuous are you.
You look radiant through and through.
...

It was so much fun managing you.
You laughed too,
At such a silly notion.
...

It was well said, when you mentioned,
The love between us.
We always traipsed in the woods,
And looked at the tops of the trees.
...

That door I opened showed no scenery,
Only that elusive, vacuous kind.
The second door,
The same of a kind.
...

I woke up innocent this morning,
But my innocence was swept away.
I had to listent the news,
The way they gave it anyway.
...

I tripped over the TV cord.
It turned my TV on.
I had decided not to watch it.
I had sworn.
...

I cried,
I whined, I sobbed, I did.
But to no avail.
On all this trouble I could not sit
...

I failed and failed and I did wail.
I wailed and I failed again.
It was my nature at the time.
I could never concentrate worth a dime.
...

I ran,
And I sang.
I loved the clouds going fast.
I drank love at last.
...
