Hands up called
the commander of opposite army
sensing a victory.
Surrender not said
the commander of losing army
with hands down.

Children Together.
Children bring fun
and let us have a run too.
A run behind them
to the mounts and lands
to the nook and corners
wherever they fly in a speed
as bees all around the world
going in person behind
going in mind unobtrusive
monitoring them from
wherever we are
until they reach a stage
when they attain a maturity
in thought and a moderation in behaviour
when they could match with the rest
getting to the top of the world
until then we have to be on the run.

Maturity And Innocence.
Up in the front
holding his hand up
the boy always
bubbling with enthusiasm
comes with ‘I’
answering each and
every question rightfully
allowing none a chance.
The little boy reads
and writes a lot
with his spectacles
coming up and down
adjusting them
he watches the TV
with a special interest
in science and technology
Mischievous he is
as to his age
playing pranks and tricks
and making his little sister cry.
He is a blend of both
assumptions of maturity
and childhood innocence
perhaps in the brink 
of turning into the teens.

Inimitable She Is.
To the point
not less or more
a moderation
in behaviour and
of wants going about
in a strategic move
answers only
when she knows
that too in-depth
mild in voice
but determined
in thought
gets along with all
in an easy progress
an inimitable character
even at the tender age
imagine what would
she be as she grows
into a grand lady.

Born Leader.
With friends behind
the little girl
cycles to the park
getting angry
if anyone overtook her
Her brother, warning everyone
about his sister’s temper,
cycles a step behind her
and the whole neighbourhood watches her
in awe and gets going in the fun.
.Domineering she could be
at home quiet reasonable
but wanting to be the prime
with her play mates
perhaps illustrates her
inkling of becoming a leader
No. I am in the wrong
as she is seen is
a born leader

Crawling To The Fore.
Little knowing
what he is doing
the six month baby
crawls a distance
sits back in a fold
applauds his feat
with a smile cheerful
looks around to find
what his sister is doing
eyeing her with an iPad
gets to her in a crawl
with a great speed
without a break
gives a blow to the gadget
lo ! breaking it into four.

Washing The Hands Off.
The nuances of the language
keeps one astonished
Amazing is the English language
with idioms and metaphors abounding.
A single word connotes hundreds of
meanings when used in different contexts
Wash my hands off is an idiom
that keeps me wondering
and the significance of it
is really worth a mention.
The literal and metaphorical
intonations are one and the same.
Wash the hands off the dirt
with the hand wash
is a sign of cleanliness.
Wash the hands also
points out a wash off
of the responsibilities.
A further probe throws light
on the detachment that
gets on with it a moral
alert saying that the
liability does not bind him or her
in future transactions.
Locking the whole in amazement
I wash my hands with a soap
then wash my hands off
from the compulsions I hold
in measured manner relieving me
from the duites as I am getting old.

Reading enriches you.
Writing moulds and shapes you.
Talking degrades you.

The hand That Rocks The Cradle.
The hand that rocks the cradle
does so with a love immense
singing a lullaby to the babe
putting him to sleep sound.
The rocking gives a movement
periodical oscillation .releasing
a modulation which prompts
a sleep sound and peaceful.
The hands do this with pleasure
as the little one settles down
halting its cry and whimper
to a restful sleep in tone.
The baby grows up gradually.
hearing the mother’s song
experiencing the to and fro move
becoming a full-fledged toddler.
The toddler grows into an adult
under his mother’s watchful eyes
relating each and every turn of events
to her in a beautiful narration.
With that the mother fondles
coaxes and cajoles her son
reprimands him when times come so
to a plausible admiring young man.
The promising young man
rises up in calibre netting
a resultant triumph achieving
trophies in his endeavours.
The children get going in life
with the mother’s backing
and the hand which rocked
starts ruling the world.

Give A Big Hand.
The big hand incidentally
turns out to be an ovation
an applause of appreciation
commemorating the performance
of the artist or whoever it may be
of great quality and concern
be it in art, writing, governance
business and services
for the human and for animals.
Such being so the big hand
correlates a standing admiration
that ensues a reverberation which finally
turns out to be a celebration.
Give a big hand is a sensibility
that gets in with joy and mirth.
