Once Upon A Time __My Memories Go.


Once upon a time I used to hear
not only the birds tweets
I heard the donkey’s bray
they with their long ears
wandered making noise not sweet
the lanky figure was in dirty grey.

Once upon a time I used to eat
all things cooked at the moment
no frozen or prepared food
never warmed in a microwave in upbeat
not consume anything that caused a torment
all fresh ones that did a lot of good.

Once upon a time I used to read
newspapers in the early morning
novels and poetry in my school
did I know any online read?
not I sat glued to the TV in the morning
nor did I spend time in the net full.

Once upon a time I led a healthy life
with walks and strolls to keep me in strife
breathed plenty of fresh air to keep going
now I sit indoors a way of my life
stuck to the digital world in my strife
live closeted to ward off mosquitoes in the going.

Once upon a time memories come up and go
reminiscing the good old days in the flow
well, they would not return in the days
it is prudence to adjust to the days in the go
nostalgic of the past causes a glow
live through all the more with the days in store.

My Teacher —The Driving Force.


Had been in the world for quite so long
influences had been not too many
had been an isolated person for long
think that I know a lot rather too many.

The days of my school might be of interest
I was among the toppers all through
that evaded me in taking any interest
as I thought I am uncrowned all through.

The teachers held me with such love
I dare not disobeyed them anyway
I studied my subjects with such love
I ranked high every day any way.

The one most important teacher I admire
being my English teacher in my High School
she drew the best out of us I still admire
grammar the toughest one turned easy in High School.

She went on and on giving exercises
taught clauses adverb, adjective, noun in all
screwed up the ears if we not do the exercises
behind us always while we mastered all.

The foundation she laid during those formative years
made many of us to learn to speak and write without mistakes
English being an alien tongue turned familiar during those years
we excelled in our writing too and never made any mistakes.

The teacher whom I am talking about was simple and strict
“learning should be your motto all through your life”
she used to say in her own way speaking stern and strict
well,it still rings in my ears and is my way of life .

She is not a famous or a world renowned personality as such
she did her duty to the fullest satisfaction in all
her influence still hovers over me having been so long as such
hope, I have lived up to her expectations in all.

My teacher, I salute you and I promise not to forget your ideals
they being learn, learn and learn to acquire wisdom
I, in my own style have imbibed and spread the ideals
the greatest gift man can possess is wisdom.

Know Not What To Do


The rains have abated
water has receded
a thirteen day wet spell
caused a disaster
the administration was rattled
knew not what to do.

Water is a commodity rare to get
now runs copious all through
lo!has gone into the sea
unimaginable sufficiency, an excess
has now gone into the drain
know not what to do.

Conservation has been forgotten
disaster management has been not learnt
the make do at the moment is in vogue
helps none in the end
governance is not be found at all
really know not what to do.

Rice In South India.


Rice everyday for lunch
had been the way in my part
that being in the southern India
where rice is the staple food till now.
rice in the form of snacks
would be on the table for breakfast
same rice boiled would be for lunch
again the snack form would be for dinner
it is rice in various forms all through
along with vegetables mostly
found in the gravy and soup mostly
seen as fries and salads
with a hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning
in between how many times many know not
could account for the diet of the South Indians
remarkable for the spicy food all through.

The Birds Foretell The Weather.


The birds have come out
those have been in the nest
resting all day throughout
they had been put to test
the weather not too friendly
rains in fits and starts
their outing would not be trendy
could feel the difference in their heart
the sun has slowly taken control
rains still loom in the background
the little ones have to be fed in all
have to find food within a bound
they fly not far and wide
hunt among the bushes and plants
pick up a few grubs by the side
fly back home with the available grant
they are for sure the weather experts
precise and exact than the meteorological board.

Changes


Changes in browsers
alterations in settings
introducing new features
all confuse and confound
a slow modifications
a slight unfold
could help in adaptability
an overnight shuffle
puts one in a corner
groping in uncertainity
as to how to operate
easy for the young
as they are tech savvy
difficult for the old
as they have to learn slow
a slow and steady approach
would WordPress.com follow?
I am struggling to find out the means
the ways to upload media.

Read The Epics.


Reading the epics again and again
lends us not a tedium but a gain
the lessons that we come across
would stay us for long without a loss
epics are illustrative teachings
they are practically not a preaching
they tell us what not to do
doing would put you in a negative flow
they instruct us what to do
an execution would lead you to the glow
read and read with a renewed interest
many avenues would open at each behest.

Poesy On Wings.


It is poesy on wings
never at one place
could be seen here
could be seen there
could be seen everywhere
flies with a velocity
speaks with an intensity
exalts the spirit as it hovers
enhances the soul as it lingers
clambers with an excitement
revolves with an endowment
the poetry is musical
apparently a song rhythmical
rings in the ears for a moment
away it flies high in a movement
the song reverberates all through

The World Knows.


A strategy it is
a plan so subtle
a decision very impractical
being a proposition
with a move not straightforward
boosting the status sky high
talking of capacities that do not exist
has led to an incredible fiasco
finally an acceptance of the status
a reconciliation whatsoever
know where you stand
not where you imagine
know your actual worth
not the fanciful value
know your intellectual capacity
not the fictitious faculty
the world has eyes all through
could find your merit in no time
the people would stick a label
that be your intrinsic worth

The Viral Infection


The viral infection after a wet spell
takes its cue from the pollutants
spreads in leaps and bounds
each one being affected differently
the strain is stressful and bothersome
could see on cough and cuddle in the bed
the other sneeze and unable to lie down
whilst the third going through a breathlessness
confined to a sitting posture unable to move
the vomiting and indigestion follow
along with the gastrointestinal issues
the infection goes viral all in no time
compelling one to a difficulty unimaginable.
