Actions Poem

One Man’s Meat.

Talking straight is a trait.
Liked by a very few.
Not palatable to many .

A guy standing out of the crowd
speaks nothing but the truth
in no terms to bargain.

He is an odd man out
in this world of adjournments
where there is lot of adjustments.

He talks little with sharp wit
Speaks out only when called for
never aligning himself to a faux pas

That being so he lives on
in a place of his own happy
living in great harmony

Our man with a tongue
speaking ideals earns not more
as praise or money.

He is not praised
None eulogise him
Yet he lives honourably.,

Pasta Sumptuous

Cooking the pasta in haste
with pumpkin and corn
the chef smeared spice liberally
added finely chopped chilly to taste
mixed tamarind juice to enhance the gleam
spruced it up with butter and cheese.

Decorating the pasta with parsley leaves
adorning it with lascivious little tomatoes
that appeared like corals and rubies
setting it in a flowered ethnic china plate
laid it in the elaborately arranged buffet table
along with pastries grilled potatoes and milk shake.

The pasta looked so sumptuous and elegant
very tempting, deliciously attractive and fragrant
Each one took a large share of the enticing pasta
Sat down to eat with expectations high
The host in his best attire was beaming
A spoon of it in the mouth brought a frown
as the delicacy lacked the main ingredient salt.

House Secure

Locking up my house
shutting all doors and windows
setting the security alarm on
installing the surveillance camera
posting a guard outside
flew to different lands far and wide
enjoying the scenic vegetation
interacting with the natives
taking note of their architecture
and tasting the food of the alien land
As everything has to come to an end
returned home with revived cheer
Espying the normalcy and decorum
Opened the door happy to be back
Then flung the bedroom door ajar
found a fluffy white cat lying snugly
on my bed curled like a ball.
Disturbed by my entry she got up
walked past me coolly beguiling
the guard, the alarm, the camera
ridiculing all in one go.

No Comments on Jack And Jill -Different.

Jill went up the hill
Jack came in the back
Jill ran fast till
Jack followed the track.
Jill called in a voice shrill
Jack answered like a crack
Jill reached the hill
Jack climbed up with a knack.
Jill saw MR. Bill.
Jack met Miss Black.
Jill and Bill ran down the hill.
Jack and Black tumbled down the track.

Gamble

2 Comments on Gamble

Gamble is a game
not of fun primarily
but specifically a play
for money exactly
while playing cards
and while dealing with stocks
where there is a need
for wit and alert
where there is a necessity
for moves and designs
where there is a requirement
for reverse and forward
where there is an initiative
for a quick change
where there is an instigation
for a quicker shuffle.
Gamble would lead to a fumble
if transacted improper
leading to a tremble
ending up in a crumble.

Actions Poem

Down Below.

Wallowing in wealth
he lives in pomp
Splendour is the word
that takes him across.
Rides in mirth
and revels in joy.
Alas! he is unable to swallow
as he has a hole in the hollow
down below the throat.

Actions Poem

The Will And The Way

She has a deep swell
around the eyes.
Bulging it closes the eyes.
it is not painful says she.
it is neither disturbing too.
Amazed at her predilections
I stay confused.

She goes about her way
doing her chores in perfection
With one eye workable
she does perform adorable.
Drives, works, cooks
does gardening too.
Amazed once again
I remain astonished.

it is not the lack
that affects work.
it is not the fault
that cancels actions.
It is the determination
that works wonders.
Where there is a will
there is a way.

Actions dream Poem thoughts

Dreams Across.

Dream is a reality
in a far-fetched sense
calling for a creativity
with an attempt intense
going with it is an uncertainty
but an attempt hence
is no way a hindrance absolutely

Dream is a sketch of the mind
a plan imaginary
drawn in the broad canvas
not in paper bonded
but in the sheet of the mind
an alibi proposing a carry out
with no obstacles and hiccups.

Dreams lead to a progress
as the mind works out
both in sleep and while awake
drawing a modus operandi
as how to execute and how
to go forward in a form
appropriate and with relevance..

Actions Poem

The Tadpole

<A little tadpole
came out of the hole
to take a dip in water.
It hopped and jumped
and knocked on a passerby
The tadpole ejected water
which got splashed on the man
Sensing a feel odd
the man shook his leg
The tadpole fell on the ground
tumbling in threes and fours.
In anger the man was
about to stamp on it
The little one moved fast
in an escape and fell
into a pothole of water.
The man cursing
went about his way
as his dress got wet.
and his day spoilt
As it goes the tadpole
signalled a bad omen
and the ugliness
invited a repulse
stirring an unpleasant outrage.

Bespectacled Boy

Under the street light
a boy was reading
wearing thick glasses
and torn trousers.
Straining his eyes
already bespectacled
he was memorizing
Peeping over in anxiety
found out finally
the name of the poem.
“On His Blindness” .
a sonnet that ends
“They also serve who only stand and wait”
a fitting tribute to both Bard and boy.
