With the spontaneity getting distorted when put to efforts.
the flow gets muddled when subjected to strain
Including a message is in itself a great test.
Bringing the emotions into the rhyme scheme is a drain,
The lilting tone and a tilting voice give the poem a melody
that entices and enraptures one and all with a grand testimony.
Leave the poet to work on his own scale
allow him to spin his own tale
in a scheme suitable to his theme
as that isS the most interesting part of the scheme.SS

A Little Humour
Shoving things into the shelves
putting unwanted ones in the attic
pushing the books back in the book shelves
doing all things in a speed frantic
as the guests would be arriving at any time
went to the kitchen to fetch a lime
squeezed it on the salad
then turned towards the living room
swept it with a big broom
dispelling the cob webs
rushed to browse the web
and checked the emails in a moment
dashed to the toilet to clean it
Having done went to the kitchen
warmed up the delicacies in the run
switched on the rice cooker
Heard the horn on the gate
Lo! having done everything
forgot to keep myself presentable.
On The Verge Of Retirement .
Passing over the fears with great strength
getting over the years in positive growth
the time to get out of the busy schedule
has got into the terms with an include
accepting the age to retire from the routine
and settle in comfort and peace with a liking
while there exists a sense of achievement
and a thought of having served with an attachment
worked so long with diligence and sincerity
having been true to everyone in entity
the time to bid farewell has arrived
and
the transition sets in silence.
As every thing has to come to an end
this period of life closes in style
opening a new chapter of rectitude and reticence.
The Phase of Life——Earning.
The world is so large yet small
it has large potential yet not showcased.
With these in mind having been registered firmly
and with the university degree in hand
got into the world of opportunities
seeking an appropriate opening
Hoping to clinch a great deal
and knock on a huge salary
as I had an honours in possession
went through the hunt in excitement
The interviews went on in a positive note
giving me a thought that all would work out well.
As I got into various destinations
exhibiting different challenges
I presented myself with moderation
emphasising my skills in the areas concerned.
Offers came down the line one after another
posing a situation of deciding right
.
Deliberate did I for certain reasons
considering the promotions and perks
as well as the job culture and satisfaction
hard to find such a job in the go
but had to decide on a career all the more.
Choose did I the most fascinating one
that called for expression and writing skill
as I feel out of all credits i own
writing is the best and most suitable for my temper
Opting for the writing job got into the world of earning
and from that day it is money that speaks though not the words.

In the University- A Grand Finale.
The life in the University was the culmination
All good things happened during that period
scoring high and ranked top among all
the life was really a bed of roses.
with fame and name to adorn
The university was a place of learning
much different from school
Relied on our references and research
The individuality developed in great strides
extending a self-esteem and reliance.
The wit and writing got sharpened
The mind took control over the heart
Wisdom overwhelmed emotions.
releasing a great insight and understanding
where playfulness gave way to seriousness.
.
Life in the University was not one of stress
It was the best of all the learning
A creative mind does extremely good in this phase
with lot of study aids in hand and in the library
acquiring knowledge as and when we study for a degree.
Being the wonderful phase in life
this life came to a close in a few years
leaving me in the world of strife
coping up with the nuances with ease and delight.
A life that makes one to wonder and remain awestruck
The School Days,
Growing up with the years
becoming a girl with cheers
life moved on without any tears
getting into school as be the trend
holding mama’s saree end
sitting aloof from the girls
who call me to play
But with a sad face and a sob
I refuse to take them
Few days go by as I stay in the block
with an unfriendly move and restricted talk
Then gradually got into the stream
as days become months
Becoming a popular girl with a beam
with qualities of leadership latent till now
rose to lead the school with a glow
elected as a school pupil leader with great majority
Many unknown faces turned familiar
while extending a warm cordiality to all
resorted to helping them if they met with a fall
both academically and financially without a call
It was a change metamorphic shy unfriendly girl transformed
and reaches the highest level in a space of a decade.

Those days keep ringing in memory now and then
hard to claim them once again.
The Days of Childhood
The days of childhood bring fond memories
Nothing to care all through.
Something to work mostly through,
All things to stare and devour through and through
With the hop and a pop finally a drop
the days went ahead in speed top
Bubbling with enthusiasm the years rolled by.
Eating every other thing hard or soft that came in the way.
Playing a lot outdoors inhaling plenty of fresh air.
Falling down and breaking the leg not once but many a time
Crying and weeping over the fall creating a scene
Fighting with siblings and friends for no reason
Keeping away from them for hours few.
Making peace with them by extending a chocolate
All these small incidents treasured in memory till date
added to the mirth and happiness of those days
which would never come however much we crave.
The Queen Of Hill Stations—-Ooty
Staying regally up in the hills
atop all the towns on the billstt
the Queen Of the Hill Stations
reigns supreme in a great fashion
with the greenery in the top brass
and commercial avenues across
teeming with population
and busy with transactions
while the tourists throng the gardens
the locals carry the burdens
of home-grown vegetables, tea and honey
along with fruits small and tiny.
The Badagas, the hill tribe
still stay in vibe
contributing to their native town
working day and night without a frown.

The Queen throws a rich royalty
different from her siblings down
who still retain the natural beauty
The glitter of the town getting to be a city no soon
with the make ups and add-on in a sense proves to be a boon
attracting people from far and near to its portals
The Flower show takes one to the ethereal world in totality
The horse racing makes the race goers float in air
The boarding schools are great money spinners and have a sophistication
making enormous money by imparting high class education
admitting the children of great winners in all fields
Business tycoons. film stars and sportsmen
spend their summer here in sprawling bungalows staffed by
Ootacamund Or Ooty as it is affably called is the best resort
and an idealistic place for holidays and rest.
Ketty valley
Driving through the blue mountains
with the lovely stare around
and gorgeous scenario overwhelming
reached a valley of abundance
aptly called Ketty
The small hamlet rises high and down
with the valleyfallig down
where carrots grow in the slopes of hiils
and potatoes in the terraced hills
cabbages and cauliflowers abound
portraying the fertility of the valley
in a vociferous and emphatic tone.
A little over there beyond the hills
there is a grove of eucalyptus trees tall and
and from a small hut there emanates a smoke
that of boiling the eucalyptus leaves
a process to extract the oil content from them
which is a potential remedy for aches of any kind.
There being a few schools of name
imparting the best learning
Ketty still is the same
untouched by the fingers of growth
but lately losing its fauna to developments
yet still pristine and beautiful to watch.
Military Residency
A little over the hill
a few mills up still
there is a barracks of grandeur
which is a magnificent structure
with tall and stately appearance
wherein the military commanders
and the soldiers are hosted
where learning is in progress
with the staff fully dressed
and the college imparting discipline
with the follow up of rules
being taught with great rigour and care
While every morning during the walk inthe thorough fare
get a glimpse of their march past of great talk
en suite by vigorous exercises in style
making the participants fit and agile
as they are the guards of the nation
when it faces endangers and threats
from external forces in a portion
and also are responsible to act
when there arises internal riots.
The Wellington barracks stands atop
with a brilliance and grace
