My LTL friend Ishita Garg sent me her poem,which is so motivating and hence took her permission to post on blog-
"There is a basket, my ball has to reach.
No matter how high ,it is in the sky
Every time ,when I attempt to score
I throw the ball ,with a mighty force
The ball hits the ring, and falls back again.
And I am left to try, and do the same again
The basket in the sky, sways and swings
As if teasing me ,of the blowing wind
I smile at it ,and ask her to wait
The next time I come ,she will have her bait
The next day ,I was back
With a steady mind ,ready to attack
I gave her my salute ,before I could start
And then after gathering ,all my power
I shot the ball ,up in the air
And saw it ,reach there
There in the basket ,I had made the score
With nothing left ,but happiness to store......"

A very motivating/motivated poem! Keep up budding poetess.
Beautifully written and expressed one's imagination! The poet has so much to say through a basketball game, on how to achieve the goal in one's life.

As if teasing me ,of the blowing wind
I smile at it ,and ask her to wait"
