Chance

A little boy had a thrilling riding experience

The boy was riding on the smooth road
He was enjoying the place near the wood
Taking the bicycle like a toy
Ran like a magic deer the cute boy
Sometimes he stopped riding for a pause
His parents rushed to him to know the cause
He smiled happily and started again
But riding was stopped soon by rain
The parents took him under a shed
They offered him jam and bread
He took juice from lovely can
He was ready again like a sportsman
He pedaled the cycle with bright smile
The solo rider would now ride mile and mile
He looked gorgeous with colored dress
He went far away taking a race
Suddenly a group of monkey came near him
He was frightened and started to scream
His parents assured him monkeys were safe
He then stopped his bike step by step
He greeted the monkeys and played with them
Monkeys taught him a wonderful game
The monkeys joined  him in a friendly dance
The boy became happy for such a lovely chance

What a touching story of one so small who believes he has grown big with his newfound Independence. Yet, not quite so big that he does not still need the assurances and comfort of his parents. I saw wonderful images of him dancing and playing with the monkeys.

Thank you for sharing this one. I came seeking the warmth of your words and found them in this charming and whimsical tale. :)

This is a great poem which speaks vividly of someone's great childhood. I wish I could see the snow already, but I might not be able to ):

I'm happy to read anything as long as I grasp the meaning of it (:

[zainul]

That makes sense.
Any obscure write does not hold me.
I stop reading midway.

Ahh imagination is our escape from this world, allowing some peace and story telling. This has childish wonder to it.

[zainul]

Thank you Poetic Beauty for the illuminating observations.
This means a world to me.

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome

i agree with Faith...children's imaginations play wildly...and they always feel that parent's hand to guide them...

now i am seeing what is like in reverse..my parents are 93 and 91..and the shoe is on the other foot.

they are riding the bicycle..albeit very slowly and carefully.

nice poem

[zainul]

Thank you Jacob for the wonderful comments.I am very impressed by the mention the present state of your parents.So far I understand that this is the
second childhood of your parents.They need the same care as you received in your childhood.
But,it is also very interesting to note that you also have grown quite old.
I am very pleased to read such thoughtful observation from you.

[Faith]

What a lovely poem! I think it really emphasises on the innocence and the imagination of children; but that might just be my interpretation. Very good write!

[zainul]

Oh, it is wonderful the little boy was able to have so much fun playing with the monkeys - he took a chance and it was better for him!!
Your story is entertaining and holds joy!! It should encourage us not to be so rigid with our thinking!!

[zainul]

You have nicely pointed out that we should not to be very rigid with our thinking :)
