                         BALLOON MAN

               We see a balloon man at
                                    'Thursday Night Out' fare,
                who curves long inflated stuff
                                     to a funny shape with care
                 for the children standing in queue
                                      holding parent's hand,
                  when the music fills the air
                                       from the hard rock band.

                   Balloon man has a funny face
                                        with a broad-chick smile,
                   which attracts the kids around
                                         to queue up along the isle
                   with patience to get the balloon
                                          of desired shape they want----
                    may be an animal or butterfly,
                                          or sword, hat,or gun.

            Yesterday was Fourth of July -----
                   America's Independence Day.
             We went at night to see fireworks
                   emitting bright coloured ray
             in the neighborhood school park,
                   where assembled a big crowd;
             everyone was clapping hands
                    and cheering themselves loud.          Oak Park,IL.05.07.2014.
               
           
       

         OUR BACKYARD

     We play at the back yard
                   
                    under the shade of tree,

      see some squirrels few rabbits

                     scooting in grass with glee.

       I swing and sing sweet songs

                      when Dadan reads his book,

        gentle breeze blows away
       
                       clouds in the sky we look.
