A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole.
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.

I Remember That Day…

Let me tell you something about my home. My home is full with some wonderful people. Mom, Dad, Chinki and me. It’s made from white marbles, beautifully crafted wooden furniture and love. And my room is in the lime-light. It’s in between the drawing room. It’s named “the glass room.”
It was the three months from now, I was in the fish zone in the water tank with some of my friends. Chinki came there with Dad and she stared me for a while and I made her smile. It was the moment. I became the part of the family.
I was happy. I loved them a lot. They loved me a lot. Life was going on the smooth way. But one day….
I remember that day; it was the chinki’s birthday. Everybody was very happy. They organized a party on that day. Firstly there was a celebration of the cake. All sang the Happy Birthday song. All ate the cake. Then they started the dance party. All the people were lost in the music. I was also enjoying by watching them dancing. After some time they started the rock music and did the light low. The environment was dizzy Chinki and her friends were dancing like anything…and…..
Somebody gave the push unknowingly to my “glass room” and it fell down from the Table. All of sudden I was not able to breathe normally. My glass room was totally broken and I was out of the water and nobody knew it because of low light and loud music. But one piece of glass was near chinki’s leg, and she kept her leg on the piece of the glass while dancing and she shouted. Then the music stopped, somebody started the main light. And all of them were shocked by watching the scene. Everybody was searching me. Suddenly mom saw me under the table. She rushed in the kitchen and came back with the glass of the water she kept me in that. Then they treated chinki’s leg. All the people were shocked by the accident and they called the party off.
The day after the accident they bought a new “glass room” for me. With some new toys and some new rocks. On that day chinki was at home for the whole day because of her broken leg. She kept watching me and smiled the whole day. She is fine now. And again we are back to regular life.



Wake up,
