The Aunts of Mine


A beautiful day it is
the mind looks wonderful
nothing much to think about
as usual retrospecting
got stuck at one point
back to the days of my aunts
they were four altogether
knew them for their loveliness
the eldest being short in stature
tall in her decisions
spoke in form and authority
humorous and practical
a favourite of mine
the second one wasaunt not serious in anything
a spendthrift and very kind
the third one was quiet and went about her way
while the last aunt was petite and soft
hurting none spoke in whispers
the clan of mine now dead and gone
still rush back to me when I am alone
keep company with me spelling out love and care.

The Spellbound Eloquence


 

 


 

 

 

The coy little girl nodded her head

smiling shy but with a glow

with sparkling eyes she stood there

looking graceful and pretty.

 

Feeling shy is natural to girls

as they feel insecure among strangers

turning to their mothers now and then

expressing in terms with drawn.

 

The little girl talked in tone soft

words came flowing like a song

making gestures lovely and smart

holding the attention of the beholder.

 

A girl so small and shy

spoke with such determination

her oration being laid with ideals

while her eloquence was amazing.

 

As she went through her speech

supported by quotations and statistics

the spectators listened to her in rapt attention

being there a pin drop silence.

 

She received a standing ovation

that lasted for a longer duration

her mother beaming with pride

as the little one came running to her.

 

Circumstances make the man

goes the adage with a veracity

that being proved in 970267564045126969850569921216nthe girl’s attempt

a shy petite girl emerged as an eloquent orator.
