Arm- Dot- Cor-W

To Lord Ram I sent my soul Some letter of that after-life to spell And my soul returned Answered, “I, myself am Heaven and hell” Then I tried Christ as an alternative That I nurse a sacrificial motive Soon I got the answer in negative It’s in heaven is now inactive. I thought I am short of ram I am marred by His Arm Need more memories before harm To be worthy of his charm. Then an old man like me came to my door Walking with a small stick, With his hand on back with pain Thought to be a medicinal doctor. Keeping the show on, gave him a long oar Walked away with décor I thought my ram memories in perfect order. ============================= Dr.Ram Mehta The poem is patterned on my poem "Installed ram by RAM in Ram" ============================= Fifth Place win in: Contest: Anagrammatically Speaking sponsored by oink a limp okra

Dr. Ram, this was one of the best entries. In this contest I found the serious writes more interesting than the humorous ones. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Keen insight from a deeply spiritual perspective, Dr. Ram. I, too, believe we make our own heaven or hell as we make choices in life. Excellent entry for Nikko's contest. These anagrams are very interesting, aren't they? Some took a humorous route, but like you I chose the write seriously about a previous poem. Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
