POEMS By Varsha Sarma, New Jersey, USA

If I Were In Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel popular kids,
Bad movies,
Sicknesses, and also
Boring classes.

If I were in charge of the world
There’d be chocolate everyday,
You could swim all the time, and
Everyone would be environmental and help the world.

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have bad influences.
You wouldn’t have wars.
You wouldn’t have crazy actors and actresses.
Or “Don’t get into trouble.”
You wouldn’t even have trouble.

If I were in charge of the world
All harmful animals would be soft and sweet.
All sugary candy would be healthy.
And a person who forgot to brush her hair,
And sometimes forgot to find good clothes to wear,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.

====================================================

The Park

The people laughing and enjoying,
The tall trees surrounding the park,
The small sweet animals crawling here and there.

The constant scream of children,
The chirping of bird everywhere,
The chipping of branches all over.

Pine trees giving off their strong aroma,
Pollen circling in the air,
The beautiful fragrance of fresh flowers.

The perspiration in my mouth,
The vanilla/ chocolate soft serve over whelming me taste buds,
Water cooling my insides.

The dew filled grass,
The dry dessert like dirt patches,
The smooth ball I am tossing.
