The Sounds We Hear.

The sounds we hear every day

distract us in a way

the crow caws early in the morn

could it be a wake up call

no , even more before you say

the cock strikes with a cock a doodle doo

mind you it is the cock

not the clock that strikes harsh

the chirping of sparrows

with a twitter gay and musical

invigorates the dawn in its rise

over to the afternoon

there be a lull of silence

perhaps a faint cry somewhere

the evening resumes the chant

the birds are in full form

return they to the nests

the hoot and shout of the owl

accompanies the darkness of the night

send a frightful feel down the spine

with them the animals too join

though the orchestra completes a round

the men and their gadgets

stream up to the bustle

the rhythm loses its cadence

as the menfolk enter with a bang

the horn and the speakers

decibels range high

force a fall out from nature

harmony is lost

finally Man is the great destroyer

Over the head
lies a sword
dangles to and fro
about to descend any time
comes the wind in a blow
the sword falls down with a thud
not on the target as expected
but down below with a blare
be it an end of danger
a symbol of significant peace
the head escapes unhurt
the taint remains unfazed

Grants

There is in my country

impetus to every scheme

with the noon meal in schools

to the school bags and slippers

there runs a long list in stretch

comes there the job for all

extend one hundred rupee

an hourly basis routine

along with that

few more indices

a television set for the needy

free power to the poor

seat allocation for the backward class

in schools and colleges

age relaxation for the schedule tribes

in admission and retirement

a discreet case study grades

all these to a level of defunct

The River in My Town.

The river in my town. Vaigai in name

flows with a frown

runs almost brown

dry not on its own.

ruined by a tone

it is mostly known

the contamination is sown

by man as shown

who revers nothing grown

tarnishes most to a bone

naked it lies with a moan

patiently borne

its charm slips unhoned

the river is dead in the drone

a sad end to the mighty flown

thoughts

The Curry leaves,

The coriander plants

shoot out green leaves

on all seasons without fail

greener during rainy days

paler in the hot months

healthy most of the year

spotted they turn

when rains fail

bloom profusely with cheer

spread a pleasant smell all over

collect them every day

they being an ingredient

to season and supplement

the diet with aroma and iron

Lovely they look when cooked

Lovelier they seem

as they dangle in breeze

great is their value in regular terms

greater they stand with heads high

when tagged with medicine .

Simplicity overwhelms gracefully.

Essential they are for preparation.

Cheap and best in diction.

brushed aside wholly by most

held in esteem by a few

like to sing their praise

commend their value

with a fervour and passion

they do carry voluminous refer

with a coy bright decor.

The Wish

The unrest in the world
goes without a word
the disturbance exists
unable to resist
the governance staggers
new spark triggers
battle starts in no time
airplanes fall in a trend
innocent die in hundreds
old and young in the trend
apprehensive to fly to places
the Atlantic poses a danger in space
a route round the Pacific
turns expensive and terrific
security is the look out
Well, there should be a way-out.
Peace on earth and goodwill
should enter into the bill.
It is the wish of all in intensity
should happen with a passion.

The Resemblance

The resemblance strikes much
a father and son as such
look similar in features and physic
mannerism takes the lead in a trick
the significance is so obstinate
takes one by a seize in an instant
realization dawns a little late
the age factor comes in straight
the difference shows up quick
that be a study in terms alike.

A Story Told

A story told
is retold
year-long it goes
from ear to ear it goes
add ups are too many
left outs are very many
it turns sweet at times
becomes sour at times
loses its originality
reads as though new
a different tale in lieu.

Well Within You.

Best be what you do

not forget what is to you

incline towards it in true

set out with a motive all true.

The efforts put by you

be strong and steadfast in true

shrug not at any cost

nor go about it in fast.

Do the best at all point

It is well within your joint.

Does this sound as a preach?

Sure, it is within your reach.

The Rains Come Finally

The day is a shine and a dine
with a clouds almost in nine
the weather seems to be fine
with the rain almost to pour
the drops come in four
thunder descends in a roar
the clouds draw to a close
the sky engages in blows
the drizzle sets in with no force
lightening strikes with a blind
the battle is fought with a bind
the vapours burst out from hind
the rains fall down in torrence
a struggle in exasperation
Well! it turns out to be an inspiration.
