See yourself Rhinoceros. – Delhi Poetry Slam

See yourself Rhinoceros.

By Noa

Oh Rhinoceros, how cool you are!

Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? 

Your horn is so pointy, even sharper than a knife. 

Oh Rhinoceros, you need to see yourself! 

Oh Rhinoceros, how cool you are! 

Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror?

Your body is so bumpy, even bumpy than a camel. 

Oh my goodness, oh my God! 

Oh my god Mr.Rhinoceros, how many shapes you are? 

You are like a hippopotamus, but I don’t know what shape you are! 

See yourself in the mirror, you’ll be looking cool. 

You can put a tie on your neck and look cool as 

Rhinoceros, rhinoceros, how cool you are!

Have you ever seen your pointy ears just like a pig? 

Oh rhinoceros, you need to see yourself. 

Your hair is just like an elephant.

Rhinoceros, rhinoceros, how cool you are.

Rhinoceros see yourself up in the mirror. 

How cool you are. 

You eat a bunch of grass, just like a zebra. 

Rhinoceros, rhinoceros, how cool you are.

You are just the way I want to be in my dreams.

Oh! You are my goodness. Rhinoceros, you know what I think in my dreams?

I have horns on my noses, I have hair like an elephant, I have pointy ears like pigs, I have a snout…oh my goodness. Oh rhinoceros, I think to be, the bumpiest animal I can be. 

Oh my goodness, you are cool and strong. You can even break a car with your nose. Oh my goodness ho!

You even sometimes have two horns, just in one go!

Oh, the babies look so cute; they have warts on their noses. It will become a sharp-sharp horn, oh my goodness nose!

I am so lovely with you, thank you so much to you.

I brought a mirror for you Rhinoceros. 

Oh my god, I have never seen myself like that….What a horny horn, and snout on the bone, and pretty feet tall I have got. I am so gorgeous; I am the gorgeousest animal after all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, bye-bye.

  • प्यारी और प्रतिभाशाली नोआ, विहान की बाल नाट्य कार्य शाला में तुम शामिल हुई, ये हम सबके लिए ख़ुशी की बात रही। उसी वजह से तुम्हें और तुम्हारे परिवेश को जाना – समझा। तुम्हारी चित्रकला और कविता की रुचि को जाना। चित्र देखे, कविता पढ़ी। तुम्हारी सृजनशीलता ने बहुत आनंदित किया। और भरोसा भी पैदा किया कि तुम प्रकृति और सारे जीवों के प्रति प्रेम और संवेदना से भरी हो। कला में तुम्हें रस मिलता है।

    यह कविता रायिनोसौर के प्रति अगाध प्रेम और निष्छलता पैदा करती है। बहुत मासूमियत है कविता में जो राईनो के प्रति ममता से भर देती है। इस कविता से यह भी अनुभव होता है कि बच्चे प्रकृति को, प्राणियों को कितनी आत्मीयता से महसूस करते हैं। उनकी दृष्टि में कुछ भी डरावना या हिंसक नहीं होता। बच्चे उन्मुक्त मन से बाँहें फैलाकर सबको गले लगा लेना चाहते हैं। पहली बार राईनो याने गैंडे को देखने का नया नज़रिया मिला। नोआ बार बार उसके बारे में लिखती है how cool you are. राईनो को शांत चित्त कोई वयस्क शायद नहीं देख पाता। उसके सिंग, आकार, उसका मन सबका वर्णन सुंदर है
