A Good For Nothing.

He is a sadist

 talks like a therapist 

preaches like Godly man

 all said and done 

 he is an illiterate
knows not the basic
shallow and crazy
 does talk not do
 a foul-mouthed   being
 lives in the world
 as a good for nothing.

Bringing Up

A bringing  up
keen on values and comforts
 is sign  remarkable

A Cough

A cough incessant
 kills me to an extent
it does not go in one way
 bouts come all through the day
 the one issue along with it
 is the wheeze that  accompanies it
 puts me down to a  position
 neither lying or sitting in a situation
 difficult and strenuous  all the night
 without sleep and with work to do
 the morning becomes problematic so
I quiver and fear the days ahead
 when I would be in a sheltered shed
 away from the crowd and their bytes
 have to battle and fight.

This And That

This being the status
 a relative word this
shows an out of focus
comes handy  with a hiss
 well that is even more relative
 could mean anything under the sun
 something far beyond  the tentative
 so this and that bring  a lot of fun
 one choosing to point to an object near
 the other as stated something out there
 this and that could be used without any fear
anyhow these words facilitate a share.

Love Thy Neighbour

Love thy neighbour
 goes the Bible in a trigger.
Is love meagre?

Loving the neighbour
 a preaching of values greater
Is love dear?

Thy is yourself
love yourself  for the self
Is love selfless?

I love  neighbours
extend affection without any arbours
Does love harbours?

The fact I Live.

The fact I live
 is in the give
 how much have I given?
I do not know for heaven
 extended voluntarily
extracted involuntarily
which one surpasses the other
 I know not rather
 I have helped many
 and been robbed by many
not literally I mean
 but metaphorically  I mean
keen to make me suffer
 placed me in the buffer
 went round the way
 took all from away
 it is a fact no doubt
 I can say it aloud
still I  have to live
yes, I live enlivened.

A Bob Cut

A bob cut

 was the famous hair cut

 the best  cut.

Hair shortly cut

 slight waves in the cut 

provoked a bet.

A charming cut 

 both young and old  did cut 

a convenient cut.

 To the neck 

it dangled beautifully  in tuck

a lovely stuck,

Blame Me.

A  home away from home
 further away from home
 could be called a second home
has been there for some time
 say some seven to eight years of time
 a partial stay here in a set up different
 a partial stay round the year in the original

 has been the way of my life
 it has taken my life
started as a pastime
 has turned a full time
 with years passing by
 age rolls by
 making it all the more difficult
it is I who is to be blamed?
 if reasons I give they would turn lame.

Where Would I Be Now?

Read and write
 commanded my teacher.
 Wait and go
 said my instructor
listen and reply
coaxed my mother
think and speak
told my father
 so many  and so much
commands and sayings
 instructions and advice
 mark my life in the go
if not where would I be now?

I Love You - Haiku

I love you
 you are so much true
I love you.

The Talks That Hurt,

The talks  of many
 care a little penny
 they speak so bad
 makes one sad
 yet they continue to brag
 impelling a drag
 from commenting on a child
 to a remark on the adult
 mimicking the old
 create an ill feeling
 mind they, not their caustic
 go about in their rustic
 jib and jab with no remorse
 they are the people in force
 think they are great
not know what the future
 holds in store.

Hop And A Stop

A hop and a stop
 a flop and a drop
 a pop and stop
 all these happen
 none the less dampen
 yet we have to move
 ignoring the negative proofs
that be the way to look at life
 ignorance is bliss in a strife
attach to it when

appropriate
 detach from it when inappropriate.

A Travel

That is the end of a journey
 a very long journey
 travel in all modes
 on  the road, in  the air,
on the sea with no pause.

The long travel ends
 the body is in a bend
 the eyes close automatically
 the limbs and joints  voluntarily
surrender for a cause.

The exhaustion is tremendous
 the exertion is voluminous
the mind is still in a travel
 unable to adjust to the  travel
submits for a toss.

The body is in  a state of abuse
 would become of no use
 if such ventures  are in use
never undertake such a cruise
as it is beyond any ruse.

Madurai Malli

The little white flower
 so small like a clover
 looks like a pearl
 has no lively curl

has a fragrance amiable
 very enticing  in a preamble
 takes you unaware
 no other flower would share
 the smell typical of the soil
being grown in an ancient city
dubbed as Athens of the east
is still a city with industrials least
 famous for its temples all around
 the great Meenakshi Amman is found
 the presiding deity of the Pandya kingdom
 even after centuries holds the fiefdom
enough clues for you to find the place
you would have found out the face
 the city is none other than Madurai
 and the flower is called Madurai malli
 widely known as Jasmine all over the world.

The Bunny

A bunny looks so funny
 with snow-white  everywhere
 plump and stout it is
 like to give a kiss.

It runs here and there
 not very timid and bare
 it seems to have a share
 away from a glare.

The lovely bunny bleats
munches the cabbage in a treat
 in no time takes a fleet
extends a warm greet.

My Toys.

The toys I had as a small girl
 were all of wood and alloy
 plastic and rubber were not found still
I played with them in an enjoy
 the wooden ones were colourful
pink, green, red and yellow all wonderful
 a girl dressed in a pink skirt
 a boy  had a black belt
 the men in dark suits
the women wore beautiful outfits
so did the animals in colours appropriate
 they assembled before me  in  order
 the small ones  first in  order
stood the rest according to seniority
they were trained in  discipline   military
I commanded them with an authority
 I played all through my days
 with a delight and rejoice in a way.

The Communists.

It is the right wing
 and the left wing
in the  communism
the one is a milder form
 the other an extreme
 with the marxism  in between
 so goes the  party  in wings
 very much present in China
 found in India   to an extent
 a belief and a concept
 very  pragmatic in a sense
has now turned wary in a way
 communists are  scary
 activities  are under a cloud
 they keep them away from the  crowd
 the popularity  is minimum in a shroud
a strengthen would bring results
 the party and its goal would be cherished.

Angry Dance --Haiku

The earth quakes
lightning and storm rakes fierce
an angry dance

The Tomato Juice

Tthe tomatoes red and lascivious
 looks so delicious
 I cut them with care
 the juice spurts out  in a flare
hits my face in a dare
 the seeds splash all over my face
 create a mess in a trace
they remain there for a short while
 as I am busy with my cooking in style
 forgot the mess  went my way
 all looked me in a quixotic way
I  brushed aside their taunts
  went to my favourite haunt
 by chance I looked at the mirror
 Gosh! I looked like a terror
 amused and bemused I rushed to wash
  I got a clue, a beauty tip in the course
 tomato juice has invigorated the face
 while it blushed pink in

a phase.

Nature And its Ways

The variance in Nature
 is now a great feature
 as all the divisions
 have gone out of proportions
 forecasts have become defiant
a rain predicted turns deviant
 none other could be  ascribed
none the less could be described
 the ways of Nature  in all
looks devastating in a call
 the beauties of her remain
 the man made structures go in vain
 that be the greatness of nature
 sustains and survives any stature.

A Song on Poetry.

It is poesy
 that keeps you crazy
 it is poetry
 leaves you not sedentary
 it is a poem
 you hold to your bosom
 it is a short entry
 as poems are generally
 impregnant with  thoughts
 stored with feels hot
 all done in a style
 lyrical and  musical
 rhythmical and inimitable
that be a song on poetry
 which includes all my entity.

The Discovery

Great is the discovery
 so be it in  recovery
 think it is  meaningless
 true it is worthless
discoveries go miles ahead
 it there  be  a strength  instead
 if they turn a ruin
 they are not genuine
 both could be possible
also could become impossible
 the better takes you to a prosperity
 the worse confirms a disaster immediately.

To My Mother

it is my mother who I recall
 her face comes to me in a call
 she saw  me through the years
 could I say the formative years
 she was a paragon of virtues.

Being the youngest daughter
 out of the two of her daughters
 she loved my sister the most
 spoilt her  to the utmost
she fell short of her virtues.

I was under her eyes
 never she relaxed her ties
a teacher strict, a mother affable
she took turns in all possible
 she upheld her virtues.

I used to feel  letdown
 as she cast a frown
 especially to me
 my sister was always in glee
she slipped in her virtues.


 Now she is gone forever
still I could feel the terror
 her eyes still follow me
 she had  been kind and firm
 not so to my sister in terms.

Her attitude and thoughts
has placed me in a slot
much higher than my sister
as I have  fairly performed  
now I worship her virtues.

All things that are sugary
would not make you happy
require a bitterness

too
 a juxtaposition  of the two
 would  aid to achieve greatness.

A Hearsay

it is a hearsay
 that crosses the way
a  day after day
 mind you a lot
  besiege  in  a sort
 you would get caught
 know not how to extricate
 as it is a design intricate
 much of a provocate
 be wary  of such says
keep off from them

Winds, Storm, Quakes

It is expected
winds, storm and quakes  are  anticipated
when none knows.

It is ambiguous
disasters  come not with schedules
arrive in multitudes.

One after another
 strike they with force rather
hostility in  a

gather.

A Family Affair.

It is a family affair 

 brought to the square 

 to a common place 

 though in a phase 

 need  not be discussed

 yet dances as if in a circus 

 a little out of range 

 cause a mental derange 

 the family lets in outsiders 

deliberately  into the sides 

 a schism would stay sharp

 with that chaos would harp 

a way to bring the world 

would create havoc beyond word.

 

A Perception

A way to celebrate
 could be of any rate
 either expensive or modest
that depends on  a  test
includes a grandeur
 excludes an honour
holds a respect
 disdains a  disrespect
 a small gathering would  do
 a large crowd would undo
could be a vice-versa in  ways
 again it banks on a choice
 individuals  perceive different.

The Sabbath Day

Sunday is sabbath day

 totally  a free day 

 relaxation is in the way 

 no hurry all through the day

 up late in the morning  

break the fast in the late morning

  through the news  in a going

a siesta in the afternoon a dozing 

a stroll round the garden in the evening 

a book  from the library provides the reading 

 finally an off to bed in the night 

 as darkness descends so does slumber.

The Tibetan Plateau -- --- Today

The quake recurs
 the Tibetan

 plateau  trembles
 a horror in the course
 as the entire region stumbles
 cries and moans reach the sky
 people bewail and bemoan
dead bodies in heaps lie
injured struggle with a groan
 the beautiful valley echoes
 not the serenity of  the day before
 death stares with an inflated ego
there is pandemonium all the more.

Symmetrical---- Haiku

A yellow rose
 flowered as the sun rose
symmetrical in  close

Give One And Take Many

Invest money for your living
a return is encouraging
 a revenue keeps you going
 .

The time you invest in writing
 gives a return enthusiastic
 a revenue not enough to a going,

Investment is for a  profit
 nothing more than that in any outfit
as we sow  the seeds we wish to reap.

It is an exchange rather
 give one and take one
lies underneath every scheme

Neither I Nor You Know.

The desire  to win
 the desire to conquer
 the desire to overcome
 the desire  permeates
 either for good or bad
 neither I nor you know.

To win is a goal
 to conquer is a perversion
 to overcome is sadism
 the wish infuriates
 either for power or wealth
neither I nor you know.

The process that goes
 could be straight or defiant
 the will to survive is natural
 the wish to suppress is unnatural
 yet it pervades  all through
 neither I nor you know.

Quake In Kathmandu

It was mid-morning

schools were busy 

the roads were teeming 

not anywhere fussy 

 as all was going well 

 a sudden tremor was felt 

 it rigged and creaked as well 

 buildings collapsed  in the belt 

 roads gave way in a moment 

 huge disaster on the edifice 

there were thousands of deaths 

 amputations and mutations  in the debris

many struggled for breaths 

 the seismic earthquake

 in Kathmandu

 spread far down south with  the minimal velocity 

it was another natural devastation  beyond understanding.

To Make money----Haiku.

To make money

 struggle worth, not a penny

 is truly

 uncanny.

An Apparition

It is an apparition
 straight from heaven
angelic face very kind
 gracious it looks
 with magnanimity in full
touched the head with love
 turned and flew away
 happened all in a second
 likewise the goodness
 seen around us
 comes unnoticed
 leaves in a second.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Prevention is better than cure 

a maxim of value great 

 the inoculations should be pure

the  effectiveness  brought to a state 

such that many fatalities are avoided 

right from infants to adults  in the fore

  preventive measures are to be

adhered 

this need to be practised with care 

 an awareness  is  a strength 

 a campaign to spread the message 

of how to restore good health

be part of the purview with an envisage.

 

Mothers' Love ----Haiku

A mother's love
 is far from a disallow
 a perennial flow

The Spider's lessons ----- A Teach.

The spider is so quick
 builds the web in a pick
 beautiful is its weave
 makes one to unbelieve
 a little insect being so deft
 weaves in such depth
 the designs being intricate
 I, for one, try ti inculcate
 the lessons so discreetly taught
 being  one very  neatly bought
the time you remove the web
 another comes out in a hub
 that is the spirit admirable
never feel that  anything

is impossible.

Lot More

Lots more to do.
 Lots more to see.
 Lots more to hear.
 Lots more to feel.
With lots and lots on wait
 the time has come
 the time to leave
 leave I with a thought
 could it be an hope
 I could see, hear
 feel and do
 in the years to come.

Gold a mania

He is a Midas
 fond of gold
 wants to buy the metal
 every now and then
  a  mania  perhaps
what could we call?
 gold a mania
 a name coined by me
 as I see these people
 with awe and fear
 the lureof gold
 makes them  shun
 the necessities of life
 forego the simple delights
 they hoard and amass
turn crazy and mad
an addiction on the go
 would wear them out in slow.

Sat On The Floor

Sat on the floor
 quite near the door
 my knees felt sore
 had to bore
as squat  in core
helps more
frees the joints
keeps them in tone.

One After Another.

That be the day
 with guests all the way
 come one after another  quick
a  full engagement  in the pick
serves of tea every now and then
 nothing more could be done
 a talk over a cup  of tea
 set the form in glee
 a time after knew not
 what I talked   in short
 it was a tiring day
with fatigue on the way.

Tears -Haiku

The tear drops

fall one by one nonstop

a sad state.

The Term Called Life.---Allegory

The rains and winds
 the sun and the moon
 the day and night
 come and go
in a system
so do men in a way
 come and go
 live and die
within a system
 while battles rage
 ships wreck
 flights disappear
 cars collide
 trains overturn
 all the mishaps
 get going in the system
 along with  his temper
 boils and fumes
 froths and subsides
 extends and shortens
while his physic
 from young to old
 from wellness to illness
all undergo a process
 that is life in short
 like a leaf green
 falls down in yellow.

Reconciliation.

To get into the market
 to reach the target
 to win over the readers
one should not turn a pleader
the content is valuable
 so is the presentation
With that, there needs a patience
 and a clean conscience
 resort  not to invalidity
 maintain the vitality
 wait for a time
 the revenue would chime
 so I tell myself
a reconciliation

of self.

The Ice Cube Rains

The rains pour  in ice  form
 they fall causing a qualm
 the small cubes of ice
 more or less like pebbles in size
 come down from the sky
knock the vehicles in a sly
 the children  jump with joy
the ice cubes are like toys
the kids run  to collect them
 the mothers stop them
else they would catch a cold
 the ice cubes lie on the road
an interesting scene to watch
a rare phenomenon in

a catch.

A Blue Sea.---Haiku

A blue sea
  is very beautiful to see
betrays a flee.

Vociferous

The controversies run amock
 with the" I "in the forefront
 all from the same flock
 try to barge to the front
 where the ego rises in a blaze
 the aesthetics die down meekly
 the louder you cry  amidst the haze
 the more you are heard  forcefully
 this trick works out wonders
 one who shouts the most comes to the stage
 the silent  gets away in an asunder
a universal fact in a range
one that goes well without bumps
 the vociferous would see only trumps.

Wears A garb.

My acquaintance  is service-oriented 

 she is a  personally disoriented

the proclaimed attitude

is of a deserve 

 found later it is not of a preserve

 wears the garb of service 

 goes about in a flourish

 she poses to help others 

 she helps herself rather 

 donates  generously to charity 

 by then has amassed wealth in reality 

 service to her is a profession

 it is an occupation

 make money is her ambition 

 has well reached her destination.

Lives Without Recognition,

A friend of mine
smiles with a shine
 never she disallows
 a laugh hollow
 here face looks so pleasant
she lifts her eyebrows in a crescent
 quizzes nor queries any
 tries to help out many
 not with a handsome giveaway
 but a very helpful takeaway
 for she believes small is beautiful
 and what little is wonderful
 I admire her actions
 she lives

without any recognition. 

Thumbs Up To The Mangoes

The mangoes green 

 hang all over the tree

 

 the squirrels have a feast 

 with them the bees enjoy 

 so do the men  with a love 

 the unripe ones are so wonderful

 none could desist from tasting 

 the mouth waters with a devour 

 the small ones that fall are bitter 

 the pickles of these are crazy 

 the salt and chilli added 

 make them delicious 

 a few days after 

 these would turn ripe 

 shine with a golden yellow

come there a majority 

 incline to pluck and store 

the alphonsa, the malgova,

 the sour ones and the grape 

 the varieties that abound 

 send a feel of nostalgia 

 thumbs up to the mangoes 

 big and small

 green and yellow.

The Monkeys

The monkeys on the tree
  play a tumble down dee
 swing to the right and left
 leave nothing to rest
 I see them every day
 they occupy the tree
  opposite to me in gay
always busy like a bee
they somersault and jump
 run from one end to the other
 the little ones are plump
live happily without any  bother
I forget myself the while I see them

extend a refreshment to my tired soul
 as my spirits are revived  without a dole.
