Spin A Yarn


Bales of cotton are opened up ,

The Blow room is set to gulp,

The cotton is beaten into a lap

Which roll out in a snap.

 

The lap is fed into carding,

Where they undergo a cleaning,

The sliver is sent to the draw frame,

Which recovers the fibre from blame.

 

The simplex machine contributes the hank ,

The spinning frames  commit the quality  rank,

Where the fibre is  spun  without blemish

And wound up as yarn in the premise.

 

Having been literally into spinning for three decades

Now out of it to a laid back upgrades,

To  a metaphorical spinning yarn  into threads,

Empowering  words and thoughts  to a fine  read.

 

Relinquishing physically to a state of rest,

The tiring schedules  that end up in extensive tests,

Expelling the  synergy out of the league,

The exhaustive exertions led to a  mental fatigue

 

 

The unknowing  entry into the world of writing,

Is a deep ,profound  passion of a long-standing,

Keeps  the physique in a fit selection’

Gives  the mind the much-needed relaxation.

 

The self is at constant work formulating idealism

Thoughts born  take the shape of  impressionism,

Words weave them into  a  format of narration,

The presentation commends a   tumultuous ovation.

 

 

The price of telling tales day in day out  is almost nil,

The monetary  portion needed for the work out  is of no fill,

The prize  of spinning words is a  winning laurel,

The accumulation of assets in abstract terms is one of plurals.

The Land Where I Grew- Madurai.


It is an ancient city full of life,

It never sleeps all night,

It rises with an unassuming humility ,

And  sets in with  revered simplicity,

Bereft of pretensions and detentions

 Which necessitates no retention

It puts on a trait of modesty,

Gathers no ill talk or foul thought,

 While it sustains with resolute faith and determination

Leads an  austere  and no frill life,

Marked not by coquettishness and affectation,

 My home town believes in values  and morals,

 By Distinguishing  real from fake,

By discriminating fact and fiction,

 It may seemingly appear as a laid back city,

With no  huge and gaudy shopping  malls,

With no glittering  entertainment theatres,

With no  theme parks and play centres,

But with lot of temples in and around,

Singing the praise of  God with innate ardour,

Chanting the mantras and slokas   with fervour,

Chiming  the gigantic bells  with religious frenzy,

Taking the Gods and Goddesses in a procession,

All around the  main streets of the town,

Yes ! this is a city of temples,

Where there dwells sanity and sanctity,

Where there remains truth and sincerity,

 Which is very much still  soaked in divinity ,

Cherishing the noble ideals  and ethics

 While  getting entranced in  the holy gaiety.

Bedecking The Almighty


Temples  are for  worship and prayer,

 They  are no place for ostentation,

 They  are  no  space for distraction,

 They  are no case for exhibition,

But a portal for religious reverberation.

.

 

 

We  see the Almighty as an idol,

Signifying mercy and Peace,

Symbolic of   grace not tease,

Denoting piety not appease.

Revealing a sacred denomination.

 

 

 

Darning the icon with gold,

Decking it with  diamonds dazzling,

Adorning it with  rubies  glittering

Decorating  it with emerald  shinning,

Exhibit a colourful hue.

 

 

 The idol bejewelled and bedecked,,

Looks astonishing and amazing,

Lights up  the  desire  unnerving,

Kindles the  enthusiasm undeserving,

Towards a deviated  turning point.

 

 

An artificial  recreation clamours,

Dispelling the rapturous recitations,

Diffusing the fervent allocations,

To a commercial presentation,

Setting an incoherent grandeur.

 

The sanctum sanctorum   emits a holiness

Purporting a spiritual transcendentalism,

Eliciting an ardent devotionalism,

Spreading a feeling of  sacredness,

Away from the   mundane  activism.

 

 

The decked  up idol in all its  man-made glory,

Lacks the gravity  and serenity,

 Has lost  its poise and divinity,

Defeating the essence of   sanctity,

Enabling a demoralization  of credibility.

I Saw


I saw a baby

Cute and chubby,

With a toothless smile,

Making me stand a while.

 

 

I saw a  bunny,

White and shiny,

With  silky soft skin,

Jumping amidst din.

 

 

I saw a Peacock,

Erect and stalk,

Dancing with feather s beautiful

Enacting a recital musical.

 

 

I saw a lovely rose,

Little and close,

With a  fine charm,

Dispensing a grand form.

 

 

I saw the  sky bright ,

A  refreshing sight,

With a feigned cast,

Creating a reckoning contrast..

 

 

 

I am blessed,

As I dazed,

At all things wonderful,

Which made me delightful.

A Painting


The ideas  put behind ,

The thoughts  pushed before,

The frame set  in front,

The concept placed  at the back,

The design sketched   above,

The pattern  drawn  below,

The colour  scheme splashed  all over,

The  background  settled all throughout,

Delivered a gorgeous portrait

Opening Out


The year which  has come  out,

Will have to make a sprout,

Gradually and firmly  cut out,

A planned   graphic blow out,

Forging an amiable stand out,

As there is a need for a break out,

Of prosperity and cheer all  throughout.

An Intense Red.


It was a dainty ruby,

Red and blood-red,

Beauty and very beautiful,

Fine and pretty fine,

Glimmering and a glamour.

 

 

The  little  stone,

Set in yellow gold,

Amidst white diamonds,

Presents a colourful hue,

Takes the eyes out-of-place,

Leaving an  amaze and an awe.

What Is In Hold?


What does the world hold for you?

Treasures and Wealth

What does it seem to offer you?

Fun and frolic.

What does it make you?

Sane and practical.

What has it made of you?

Sober and Serene

What  are you now?

Firm and Decided.

What will You be?

Stern and strict.

Looks like a puzzling frame.

Resembles a surrealism.

Yes ,A peculiar insight,

A baffling reverie.

Everyday Music


I go to no concert,

I hear music from where I am,

The breaking of dawn is music to me,

As I hear the  hen call cock a doodle do ,

It is a high pitch call,

Followed by the crows caw,

Which denotes a base tone,

Then come the sparrow chirping ,

In a gay collective note,

A little away I see a goat bleat,

Along with the cow’s moo,

Heightened by the donkey’s bray,

Jarring with the dog’s bow-wow,

Softened by the pussy cat’s meow.

 

 

As the day advances to mid morning,

The cry of the babies ,

Mark the loudness

While the constant chatter of elders,

In hushed tones,

The clatter of pans in the kitchen,

Bear a  deafening frequency,

The hurried sweeping of the floor,

Call for a hustle

The mopping and brushing,

Create a swishing noise,

The hissing of a shower,

Presents a comfort zone.

 

 

The day draws to a close,

With the birds flying back,

Fluttering their wings,

The animals get calm ,

By retreating to their dens,

The children become sleepy,

Giving out a tired yawn,

While the adults relax back,

With the television  on,

The  gentle breeze sets in,

Refreshing with its melody,

As the night slowly embraces the sky.

In a harmonious excellence.

An Excitement


Seeing a flower is captivating

Hearing music  is enrapturing,

Smelling fragrance is pleasing,

Feeling happy is enchanting,

Living peacefully is ruminating,

Presenting an excitement all over.
