Two poems for children
----------------------------
Water
---------
Drink water
Which is pure
It is healthy
That is sure.
Waste not water
It is life
Harvest it
Sustains life.
Wasting water
Is no no
Preserve water
Wise say so
Water is elixir
Flushing toxins
Nutrient carrier
Water has been
Drink water
3 liters a day
It is living
In healthy way

Tree

I have a friend
Its name is tree
It gives me oxygen
Just for free.
I have a friend
Its name is tree
In my colony
provides greenery.
I have a friend
Its name is tree
Lets plant one
It is a necessity
I have a friend
Its name is tree
Earth now looks
Beautiful & lively
I have a friend
Its name is tree
Rains make it
Green and flowery

@tribhawan ji rejections mostly have no rhyme or reason - as far as i can see they are a sign the said people have a coterie and do not work on merit

And I concur with Nalini :) They are just the right kind of poems for Magic Pot but they obviously have and prefer their own people
