New Delhi.


Seen not many places
seen a few of them
that be the important cities
seen not my own capital city
been born and lived so long
that be New Delhi
a beautiful city they say
thrives with a population
lies on a beautiful layout
has many architectural wonders
along a wide sprawling gardens
the city turns misty in the winter
becomes cold during the season
transforms into a hot dusty city
being so in summer
the mercury rises abnormally
a most controversial city
different in appearance
so much apart from the other capitals
yet it breathes life incessantly
never it sleeps to wake. parliamant

The Gleam Of Blue


sjamacdonaldA drive down the road

a long time on the highway

the traffic not so heavy

the stretch goes not in a wind

but all straight through

with “on routes” on the way

have the Tim Hortons in there

refreshing with a toast and hot chocolate

proceed further into the east

on sight is the City of Ottawa

the small city with fame as Capital

limited be its attractions

there goes the beauty with them

the lake goes around the city

cheerful and colorful in one stroke

stand there the Prime Ministers past

look from their pedestals with pride

on the vicinity, is a memorial for soldiers

two guards below with least expressions

a beautiful sight it is in a way

that hold our fascination in great sway.

goes with it an enchanting splendour

to see the Rideau canal run through

an engineering marvel that holds one aghast

All be that a fastidious scene in the groove

that pleases one with a gleam of blue.
