The Childhood

When I was in three

I chose the park instead of TV

Children came with families

We all galloped like fleas

Common were the wounds on knees

 

To swings and ride we deemed

To grab the ball we leaned

Fights and friendship was our creed

Daily matches were the premier league

 

Creativity was imposed on sheets

Parents taught how to greet

Slowly learnt how to write neat

Best part was to stand up ‘n’ read

 

Our maths project was table of three,

 In assembly lines to lead

Was like the leader of Nazis,

It thrilled to roar someone “freeze”

 

There was no comparison to our riding skills

Riding a locked bike at a speed of nil

 

A different competition with girls was the trend

Every new student was my best friend

Eating the new bought ice cream at night

And Picking up an unowned pencil was my heist     

 

New toys were indeed

For more chocolates I greed

We mastered in making crease

The only pose I knew was ‘cheez’

Weapons by copy paper in hand

Much believed can chop any gland

 

Learnt to ask politely ‘please’

I felt like a bidder when I asked

“Whose pencils are these?”

Never knew to attend school, needed fee

Held the class register with a glee

 

Small punch was enough for dreadful shriek

Every day was a marvelous treat

Felt elder while holding a cup of tea

Grand Thief Auto was full on cheats

 

From tensions my mind was free

I knew there’s a Bruce Lee in me,

Doing weird crawling on bed

Thought now I can join army

 

The title given to me was ‘Dheet’

Of course in doing mischiefs

I was an elite

That’s how I remember my childhood

 

"A fine innocent grin on a child’s face

 Is the art carved on a piece of wood

 

 Live your childhood like again you never would

 Coz friend, you’ll not always long with the same hood"

-Vyom Singh Rajpoot

Happy Children's Day!

to all the children present in us somewhere lost in the corners which needs to be revived! to be blatantly bold and freed!


The Tale Behind This: A poem i composed as a early 8th grader. When my family had just shifted to a new place. At the time I was unpacking our cartons I discovered my childhood album, where particularly this special photograph of my class reminded me of our playtime and the nostalgic roller coaster of emotion blended with me entirely exhausted! Gave me a spark to poeticize about it the next day.
