Migrant Bird Famida.Y.Basheer
- The globe's my world. The cloud's my kin
- I care not where the skies begin;
- I spread my wings through all the din;
- Through fears and fright I fly my flight.
- No walls for me,no vigil gates,
- No flags, no machine guns that blast
- Citizens of those border states-
- Brothers of her brother' s sons.
- No maps, no boundaries to block
- My sojourn into unknown lands.
- I spawn and splash in distant spills,
- I breed my brood where'r I will,
- I won't look down. No I will not.
- With speed of my wings I hasten past
- And close my eyes against the sun
- To dream my dreams and make them last.
- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Going For Water Robert Frost's poem
- The well was dry beside the door,
- And so we went with pail and can
- Across the fields behind the house
- To seek the brook if still it ran;
- Not loth to have excuse to go,
- Because the autumn eve was fair
- (Though chill), because the fields were ours,
- And by the brook our woods were there.
- We ran as if to meet the moon
- That slowly dawned behind the trees,
- The barren boughs without the leaves,
- Without the birds, without the breeze.
- But once within the wood,we paused
- Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
- Ready to run to hiding new
- With laughter when she found us soon.
- Each laid on other a staying hand
- To listen ere we dared to look,
- And in the hush we joined to make
- We heard,we knew, we heard the brook.
- A note as from a single place,
- A slender tinkling fall that made
- Now drops that floated on the pool
- Like pearls , and now a silver blade.
- rhyming words:
- can/ran,fair/there/ trees/breeze/ moon/soon/ look/brook
- made/blade

Rudyard Kipling ------- Manliness -poem
https://www.spreaker.com/show/raoguidess-tracks
- If you can dream and not make
- Dreams your master;
- If you can think and not make
- Thoughts your aim;
- If you can meet with
- Triumph and disaster;
- And treat those Impostors
- Just the same;
- If you can force your heart,
- Nerve and sinew
- To serve your turn
- Long after they are gone;
- And so hold on
- When there is nothing in you
- Except the WILL which says
- To them ,"HOLD ON."
- If you can fill the unforgiving minute
- With sixty seconds' worth
- Of distance run,
- Yours is the earth and
- Everything that's in it,
- And, what is more,
- You will be a MAN,
- My son.
