The Display of Colours —Holi


The display of colours

orange, red and blue

come with a wish true

orange for the blossom

red remarkable for  a caution

the ocean reflects the blue

seen from the sky

so go the colours in a varied spectrum

the yellow, green and pink

the sun’s rays go for yellow

green a sign of prosperity

while the pink a sense

a  caricature of  love

as girls have an inclination

the soft mildness enhance

with that we go along

a speech for so long

cause not a slur

creates an enhancement

one of a tricky tone

well that is a way we win

a success found in colours

I go again with them

red, blue and yellow

come with me to sing

green, red and pink

a great going in a strength

that be it in all its chorus

that be with it in all its ambiguity.Holi

The Course Of Life


Easy to point  a finger

the anger could trigger

an animosity in the larger

there are ways to say

accusation is not the only way

firm words would keep one in a  bay

before that look at yourself first

are you, above any criticism in test?

could you render your best?

if given an opportunity

say it with all humility

if yes, take up with  courage

perform without any demurrage

halt your curse with an action

enjoy the sanction the credit be yours

the credit be yours

hereafter let it be your course.quote-clean-your-finger-before-you-point-at-my-spots-benjamin-franklin-328235

Not A Penny.


Part of the way

I went in a bus

with not many a person

a four  or five altogether

absolutely no sound whatever

reclined  and dozed off

the breeze lulled me to a siesta

past the town I had to get down

the fellow passengers had alighted

I was the one left out

the driver sped ahead

the bus entered the busiest town

had to slow down to negotiate

perspiring I woke up

found that I had travelled very  far

straightened  I in a hurry

ashamed of my carelessness

got down with an awkward smile

the driver cast a  knowing glance

happens these things to me now

not once but in occasions more

reasons could be varied

I detest to examine Neck_pillows_in_action

as they are  worth not a penny

Public Speaking


A  boy of ten years

talks without fear

details every issue

be that of a small tissue

elaborates with such specifics

not all knows such intricacies

spoke to him last night

he, with his eyes bright

made a speech in his school

that of gadgets and tools

his classmates went to sleep

got up after a beep

his teachers listened in keen

well that has always been

he felt very sad to note

told him elaboration is his forte

has to limit it to an extent

add some anecdotes past and present

a way he could improve his reach

as  an fifth grader speechoration  should enlighten not teach.

The Music Within


The music I hear

causes a tear

the heart cries

the soul stirs

the eyes of the poor

though not speak words

express feelings of hurt

their suffering mostly silent

sings many a song

of struggle  and scarcity

their hands  bear

scars of toil red and black

their feet have blisters

the nails all broke

niggard they are

hear them rant

ignites a fire

that rises up

darkens the cloud

pours down as rain

a feeble way

to assuage their  bruise

smothers now and then

keeps them in the poor-in-spiritflow.

Those I Meet


While taking a walk

saw  two men talk

I passed them with a nod

A few steps ahead

crossed  a reptile with a small head

I hopped over it  without a fall.

In a little distance

two sparrows flew very low

I deviated with caution not to hurt.

As I turned right

a cat jumped from the wall

scared for a moment I stood still

Continued my sojourn

came back to the start

saw the men in conversation.

Talk the men all along

for hours together even longer

know not what for

yet they carry on.morning walk

Within A day


Within a day

all went away

it is  in such  a way

the ill -gotten wealth

disappears in the fray

the greedy hoards

diffuse in the sway

the self-conceited designs

fly from the rays.

the  hurriedly piled stock

turns into hay

the evil thoughts

strikes back in a pray

such be the way

within a day within a day

The Cuckoo Clock Oscillates


The clock before me oscillates  to and fro

sullen and sober it is indeed

the movement is in perfect flow

right and left it goes in a  lead

the clock performs with the perfection

at one point it loses its exactness

at times gains minutes  infractions

at other loses hours  in tardiness

a winding  at the least corrects its run

or a repair at the most sets it right

lest it climbs into the attic  be no fun

as one of the old unused ones out of sight

sure, it might one-day jump from above

and surface with a demand unknown

as antiques command great value  in glow

this one a fifty years from now

would fetch a fortune to my cuckoo clockchildren

who would think of me for a moment

when they count the dollars in earnest.
