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

    I have a friend
    His name is TK
    He is a veteran poet
    But looks very quite
    Even one reject won't quit
    We like his poems & he is great

    The language may be aimed towards children but useful hints for all!
