Here is a small poem on Reading and Writing I would like to share
Reading takes me to another world
many characters they unfurl
It improves my vocabulary
and makes me feel happy
Reading is a must
it makes you believe and trust
It clears all the waste dust
it makes you feel robust
Writing makes me busy
sometimes sneaky sometimes peaky
sometimes chubby sometimes bleaky
Making me Miss Inky
Words just flow, they just give me a blow
words reach to a high, sometimes a low
so i mind my words as they give me strength
and give me the liberty to write in lenght
Words give pleasure
words are measured
words also console and cure
new words can be learnt for sure
So keep writing and reading
in pleasure or pain
as it is a good “let out”
when you are bored and in vain.
