Crickets

Crickets.


Crickets silent,

crickets chirp on.

Crickets chirpy sound on.

So familiar, because I've heard it since I was born.



O, now it's mute,

What can I say about them?

They are or ugly nor cute.

Nor pretty as a sparkly gem.



They are simply familiar,

but not as a grasshopper.

I remember not knowing what they were.

So I screamed hitting it with a mopper.



Thinking back,

 I'm not sure whether I've known crickets since I was born.

                                          Because then I wouldn't have hit it- oh smack.

                                But, yes but. I do remember the familiarity as it walked past my lorn.

                                                      

                                                                          Maybe...

                                                                         Yes, Maybe...

                                               I should let a cricket be with me.

                                               Letting it be my friend. Forever until it comes to my end...

Poem 1. Red By Khadijah Dilshad Red is the lipstick that girls wear.  Cherry is my adorable teddy bear.  Rose are those cheeks that are squeezed.  Ruby are those lips when mom is pleased.  Blush is her face when she isn't pardoned.  Crimson is the lovely roses in my garden.  Tart is when the skin got atopy.  Scarlett is the lovely poppies.  Maroon is that handsome shirt. Rufous is the color of the tiny hummingbird. Poem 2. Grey By Khadijah Dilshad Grey is the little cheeky kitten.  Grey is the winter woolen mittens.  Grey is the dull college school bag.  Grey is the old throw away rag.  Grey is the rain that falls down.  Grey is the face of one who loses his crown.  Grey is the mind of the one with depression.  Grey is one that has a phenomenal obsession.
