Poet Introduction
I've been writing poems since ages ,many readers say they get entertainment /message from them. I won silver and bronze medal for my poems in international poetry contest based in USA . I won several golds and silvers in other inte
Stop the warmongers and aggressors
( A poem I wrote in earlier months when muslims were being killed in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, but it still applies in recent refreshed genocide of muslims. )
Wars round the corner,
wars at every bend
Could it be that all this warring
would never ever end?
Mass massacre and genocide
is what we fear and apprehend
Selfish apartheid oppressing poor folks
On suppressing others they depend!
Why can't folks borrow love
and peace too learn to lend? ...

Incredible India: My motherland
Ah, to this land of the monsoons
or should it have been the sunsoons?
Yet for frozen land tourists,
a tropical hot boon.
Where bullock carts, stray dogs,
horse carriages, goats and cows
pedestrians, , bikes and rickshaws
scooters, trucks, motorbikes and cabs
all compete together in quirky
medley of traffic jams
On crammed roads you could
ram into bulls and rams
So brakes forever screeching,
the cars forever honking, hooting
while beggers begged and pickpockets
could go a' looting on a footing ...

Nature's Beauty Pageant
https://youtu.be/XWjx6oSgC4M
Nature held a Beauty Pageant
Guess who was crowned the crest
A flowering green plateau was the rostrum and stage
Watch who won the contest.
The peacock from India was crowned beauty king, prince Charming
The bird of paradise from New Guinea, was beauty queen
And last but not least in glamour
upon the catwalk the Bengal tiger
he was what I shall call the runner up.
but what care they for beauty, crown or cup?
All they want is to chow and sup.
Only Nature lovers applauded

water's life and feels alive
Waves on the rocks a' crashing
In it human feet go splashing
And elsewhere in the swollen river
'gator tails go thrashing
Water may be stagnant
or it may be thus moving
Sometimes softly dripping
at times forcefully gushing
In brooks babbling
In streams gurgling
In springs bubbling
In rivers running
From faucets freely flowing
or from pipes coercingly spurting
At times noisily sloshing
But in lakes musically rippling
In it diving and wading
In it refreshing bathing
Or...

Autumnal ceremony
https://youtu.be/dCBgDAu1Bkw
A bevy of invisible houris 🍁
🍁🍁🍁and imaginary fairies,
cavorted about as elfin brides
under a saffron maple tree🍁🍁🍁
Dressed in prism-hued layers
of chiffon in ethereal shimmers🍁
🍁and delicate silken gossamers
They having their group wedding in the fall
And fairy folk bustled about all round 🍁
as flimsy and flighty as they could be
while bronze leaves fell upon the brides🍁 ...

The better Gems
What's better than gold?
A heart of gold and any golden rule
Thus do not over the mined thing drool.
What's better than pearls?
Any shining pearls of wisdom
grant the oyster respite's freedom!
What's better than diamonds
Heavenly supernovas
and stars that dazzle like them
So don't you fret if you can't afford
the earthly underground gem.
What's better than rubies?
Crimson roses and rosy lips
I do and maybe you too already have them!
What's better than emeralds? ...

Inspiring pile of shoes
I attended a large gathering , and took some time
to observe the great assortment of shoes stacked on the racks
I saw new shoes, pricey shoes, shoes not worth a dime
and shoes that seemed to have crossed many paths and tracks.
I saw dainty sandals and flighty high heeled ones too
I saw sporty sneakers and rough and tough trainers
I saw both the laced and the leathery buckled shoe
Then I saw the humble yet hardy pair of slippers.
I saw pointy shoes, furry shoes...
