/Does the wind know?/
What has then wind seen?
Innumerable tales
Of succes and defeat?
Flowers that bloom
Without beauty unseen?
Silent tears
From beasts of burden?
Stories of refugees
Homeless and unsheltered?
Tales of injustice
Heaped on women?
Torture of prisoners
Unlawful and forbidden?
Tales of valour and courage
From commen men uncrowned?
Unheard, Unseen
Hidden and brushed aside
Do you know
When you blow ?
Wind, Can you answer
Yes or No? -

Word Art on a bland canvas
*****************************
" What travels faster than the wind?"
When questioned by a Yaksha
In the Mahabharata,
Yuddishtra answered, " The mind".
And with this answer
He saved himself and his brothers from death.
Millions of thoughts run through our minds
Every hour and every day
To capture them, hone them
Give them colour and structure
Sustainability and presentation
Is the Art of Poetry
The greatest gift we all have
Is the gift of communication
Poetry gives thoughts and words
An aesthetic form
Be it simple or complex
Ordinary or extraordinary
Embellished with similies and metaphors
They become a gift
Which if unopened and 'un-sent'
Remains unseen and unsung
Poetry to me is

/ Going back to a time when village life was simpler. An imaginary life because I have never lived one/
Beneath the Jacaranda Trees
------------------------------------------------
Take me back to the days of yore
Of yellow sunshine, village belles and old folklore
Blue skies, green leaves and cows grazing by
Hurricane lamps lighting up the night sky
Women churn butter with hands that heal
Heap ghee on rice on plantain leaves
Zephyrs mix with dew on corn
Rice fields sigh with breeze in the morn
Children run on empty roads and play
Watching Mother toil making hay another day
Without a care, without much strife
Beneath the Jacaranda trees, my village life

Where am I from?
I am from the shining land of Star dust
Equipped with wings of fire
I tie my hair with a string of stars
And let it down sometimes
Inspite of binding prejudices
And shackles of patriarchy
I am made of strong roots
But stronger wings
A soul with countless poetries
That tries to paint endless rainbows
On grey skies and cloudless nights
Reflecting a kaleidoscope of thoughts
Unhindered and unbridled
Unmasking the Blue Devils of winter
And shining with my own light
Pole star shining bright

/Eighteen till you die/
When you go to the beach
Get both feet in
You will be
Eighteen till you die
Whatever the trouble
Whatever the turmoil
"Sticks and Stones "
Is what they are
The sun may rise in the west
And set in the east
White can be called black
And black white
Ravens can sing, pigs can fly
Ducks will turn to swans
If you want to stay young
Get both feet in
And be eighteen till you die
And be eighteen till you dieEighteen till you die

/AUTUMN/
Leaves fall,trees sigh
And sometimes I wonder why
God created this season
Summer is fun by comparison
Spring is bright, Winter has snow
Then I realise - Autumn is when you renew

/ In a world full of tea drinkers, an ode to filter coffee/
Ode to filter coffee
Frothy, strong brew
To chase away Monday blues
Heavenly, sensory flavour
My daily saviour
They modernize you by new names
Blend, roast, grind and perfume your fame
Nothing can compare
Or even come near
The cup that revives
On which I survive
Dear Filter Coffee
Other drinks are mere apologiesOde to Filter Coffee

/ Disclaimer: All flowers are born equal. The winner is chosen because it is known for its resilience and is our national flower��/
Pic: pinterest
AND THE WINNER IS
Red rose was beautiful, like the first flush of dawn
White lily was pure and white as the driven snow
Lilacs and lavendars danced in bright violet
Magnolias and carnations shone like deep velvet
Sunflowers glistened in oranges and yellows
A bed of dandelions made a fine pillow
The judges were awestruck to choose a flower
All were beautiful, more by the hour
Until they came upon a distant pond
Bright pink lotuses were floating with their dull fronds
Their decision made, they declared with fervour
Lotus, dear flower, you are the winnerAnd the winner is

/Voter's dilemma/
Are we wise fools to vote
Or am I clearly confused?
I only have mild enthusiasm
To vote for a candidate
One has extortion charges against him
The other spews colourful venom when he talks
Another has no real potential
What should I do?
I will read horror comics
On election day
Or shall I make a forced choice
And choose an unacceptable solution?Voter's dilemma

Start wearing a smile and bloom like flower ,

The notion of beauty keeps changing with each passing moment. What might be considered beautiful today may not be considered beautiful in the future. But that doesn't matter. What matters is your personal idea of beauty. In the present times influencers across the world are trying to break beauty stereotypes and redefine the word.

This literary device is used as a means of enhancing the emphasis of words and creating both artistic and/or rhetorical effect in works of poetry, prose, or speech. For instance , slip - slop , black - block , flip - flop.

The invention of Printing press in the 15th century brought a revolution across the globe because it enabled knowledge sharing more quickly and widely. Since then civilisations never looked back. But today, try imagining a world without books!

Read MoreBRING ON THE BOOKS!
by Carolyn Glackin
A world without books?! Mon amie! Sacré bleu!
What a terrible thought! May it never come true!
Not one book to hold, nor one page to turn
No collection of writings from which we could learn
No trips to the bookstore, nor to the library
Oh perish the thought, for it's much, much too dreary!
Call me old fashioned, I won't mind if you do
But books are my preference, whether old or brand new
There's a quaintness about them
I just can't overlook
And you'll never get that
From a digital book
Their endearing and comforting, and fondly familiar
And to tell it quite clear, all this tech stuff's peculiar!
So a book's what I'll choose, to have and to hold
From this day forth, 'til I grow very old
Convenience is nice, and much of it's free
But regardless of that, I choose the real thing for me!
I can bring a warm blanket, hide away in some nook
With hot coffee, a cat (or two), and me with my book!

If hope wasn't there to save
If hope wasn't there to save so many broken souls would've given up their names.
With hope only the belief exists..
With hope it is easy to see the scope ..
With every dream that shatters gratitude is a sign of hope..
When world seems upside down the shaken faiths within terrified souls hold on to nothing but hope..
If it isn't hope then what makes us fight the odds..
Darkness in the hearts yet we enlighten up the houses..
Emptiness in the soul yet we celebrate togetherness..
Tiredness in the body yet we soak up the atmosphere..
Timidness in the soul yet we go for confidence..
If hope dies nothing could possibly sustain.
To every soul fighting a war in their own way,
may you always find a ray of hope amidst despair
Peace & Love
