April 9, 2017 – Meenas Poems

Going in circles,
I do not move ahead.

Thinking in angles,
I stay where I am.

I gain nothing.

But, I do all these in a row
unable to fall in a line.

A Visionary June 6, 2021

The huge mass of a being behaves with a discipline year in and year out. The one which spreads across extends a shelter, a kind of support, to the passer by. She sings with the wind, whistles when gentle, roars when fierce,flexible as she could be. Designing a carpet in appearance yellowish in hue. during mid February significant of an yearly occurrence.

Tough Lady May 31, 2021
