My Cookie Thoughts: Poems and Reflections by Yashashvi Nathawat

Poetry is a rare gift to be able to pour out your thoughts into words that aptly reflect your state of mind, even more so when you are gifted to create poetry in languages. I may not be an expert in poetry, but what I do know and what many who read these poems will agree to is that they speak through the heart, and to the heart. Yashashvi's poems reflect her feminity, her joys, her introspection of life, her experiences and struggles of what one goes through in her generation.

Yashashvi Nathawat from Rajasthan is a young gifted poet and featured here are some of her writings including some pieces in Hindi that are truly touching and reflect the joy and contemplation of the human spirit

Celebration

White roses

Vast landscape

Colorful butterflies

Playing like a child

A smiling sun

Clouds forming images

Westward wind

Sparrows chattering

Rocks lying below

Happy with soil

Green grass and mud

Ants in turmoil

And there beside stands

an old neem tree

Around which squirrels

keep moving free

Sweet scented flowers

Bees gaining power

It’s a sunny day

Today and I

And I am among nature

Even I imagine

I’m a happy creature

Her First Day

She spent the whole day

Lying on her bed

Her bed supported her

Her stomach did not

She cried on her first day

A hot water bag

her only hope

Tea soon joined

Her line of supporters

And for three days

She never touched coffee

She rolled herself

in a blanket to stay calm

But lying on her stomach

She felt

Butterflies dancing inside

She somehow managed

Tired of tears

Though she always slept 

with the pain

 thundering inside

Yet she always

kept herself strong

On her first day

Here are some poems written by Yashashvi in Hindi

It Is Fine

It is fine if I don’t wear eyeliner everyday

It is fine if I rarely enter the kitchen everyday

It is fine if I’m less stylish

It is fine if I always wear T-shirts

Even on special occasions

It is fine if I keep my hair short

It is fine if I hate lipstick

It is fine if you all

Consider me sick

It is fine but I repeat, I hate lipstick

It is fine
