Just like his
stories and novels, Ruskin’s poems, too, are simple and engrossing. As we all
know that Ruskin Bond epitomizes children’s books in India, and we have been
reading his stories since early days. Well, did you ever try reading poems and
verses written by him? Probably no, because publishing houses take no interest
in publishing poem books. For them publishing is a business, well our hero
Ruskin writes poem for fun and children.
We have
brought forward some of his best poems – they are for all ages, alike. This
poem in particular appeals most to the malleable heart of children, as they are
new in life and everything, it is must to make them realize that life around
them is beautiful and they can contribute towards keeping this planet beautiful
by preserving nature and its allied species.
Colours are
everywhere,
Bright blue
the sky,
Dark green
the forest,
And light the
fresh grass;
Bright yellow
the lights
From a train
sweeping past,
The flame
tree glow
At this time
of year,
The mangoes
burn bright
As the
monsoon draws near.
A favourite
colour of mine
Is the pink
of the candy-floss man
As he comes
down the dusty road,
Calling his
wares;
And the
balloon-man soon follows,
Selling his
floating bright colours.
It’s early
summer
And the roses
blush
In the
dew-drenched dawn,
And poppies
sway red and white
In the
invisible breeze.
Only the wind
has no colour;
But if you
look carefully
You will see
it teasing
The colour
out of the leaves.
And the rain
has no colour
But it turns
the bronzed grass
To emerald
green,
And gives a
golden sheen
To the
drenched sunflower.
Look for the
colours of life –
They are
everywhere,
Even in your
dreams.
