Things I love

NafisaSB

There are things that I love

Like the cooing dove

The smile of the child

And the fauna in the wild…

Flowers that bloom

And the green waving grass

Tiny tots who scream

And run out after class

Myriads of things

Do make me glad.

But there are also things

I hate, or make me scared

Who could ever love

The nocturnal flying bat

Or come to peace with

The atrocious gnawing rat

Another thing I hate

Is a snarling, barking dog

Next on my list

Is a filthy dirty log..

Hypocrites who lie

Conmen who do cheat

Are some of the very people

I’d rather never meet

The list of both is endless

So getting it off my chest

So that I can wipe them off the slate

And attend to what is best

    There is much to love and admire, best to concentrate on the good things in life. There certainly are many negatives. Beautifully penned safina. Have a wonderful weekend dear poet.

                Charming in a disarming seeming sincerity, while also invoking that familiar song from Sound of Music, with a pretty twist of your own to add particular flavor. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a subtly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
