taTan taTan taTan....
'taTan tatan taTan taTan taTan'
Little Tinkle playing with a vessel
Beating it with a stick to sound taTan
The sound made him happy so to giggle
Giggled, giggled little Tinkle beating
Louder, loudest that dented the vessel
Broken the stick, Tinkle started crying
Mom came, consoled Tinkle saying good words
Promised to buy a new vessel to play
Indeed a new stick too to beat high chords
Little Tinkle but stood strong on his quay
Wanting right then a vessel and a stick
Short of time to buy a new one, 'hurray...! ! '
Angered mom screamed 'taTan taTan'till sick
When a child plays he or she thinks little and giggles little. Childhood reflects innocence. Mom keeps her promise and keeps her care and love and affection. The Balanced Sonnet is stanzaic having two septets and this poem is very interestingly and amazingly penned with much beauty. A nice poem is shared of course...10

Quite amusing. Tinkle is a small child whose antics are normal but irritate beyond a point. What transpires between the child and his mother is a study in child psychology. Great poem. *Thanks for the info about its poetic form and its essential features.
