Rhyme Time

By Veera Das

My book is a collection of unique read aloud poems for children of all ages and the child in us. These amusing poems capture the imagination, as they pack in a rhythm and bounce that make them ideal for recitation in elocution competitions; or as a fun filled bonding activity between parents/teachers and kids- that inculcates a love for poetry and develops spoken English skills. At last, a collection of amusing poems for children of all ages, that sees the world through the magic and mystery of a child’s eyes… Ideal for recitation in elocution competitions or as a ‘fun way’ for parents/teachers to bond with kids... here is what some happy readers have to say…

“ Kind of Dr.Suessish in style, but defiantly your own. I smiled while reading this and could not help thinking how much children would love it too! “
- Anthony Lane Stahlhut
“… a great way to introduce them to poetry. It’s clever, with good rhyme, and the repetitions give it a bounce. Original and most enjoyable.”
-William Muth
“… a delightful poem with fresh language and appropriate parallels. I can picture the Snail, Crow and other animals. The imagery is vivid and alive!”
- Gregory Christiano
“I like the hesitations; it breaks the fluidity, just like children like it.”
- Roger Crique
“… Great poem for kids and the kid in all of us… Well constructed with good rhythm. It made me smile and made my day… humorous, serious, and warm hearted all at once….”
- Richard Reed Junior
“…your poem created a sense of me looking into the sky… Taking me back to when I was a kid. Innocence is spoken in these words of the butterfly”
- Jack Curson
“Ah...this was a delightfully amusing work!”
- Debra Rose

This book is dedicated to my dearest son

"God is an eternal child

Playing an eternal game

In an eternal garden."

Sri Aurobindo

Three little men

Blue is my book

And blue is my pen

And in the draw of my desk

Live three little men.

The first called ‘rubber’

Is clean as can be

But doesn’t like it

If you use him roughly

The second called ‘ruler’

Is rather tall

So has to lie sideways

Or he wouldn’t fit at all

The third little man is my pen

So now,

Back to studies again.
