Best Nepalese Poems

Whoa! My cabinet's 'not diverse enough!'*
This identity stuff is really tough!
  Greeks, Poles, Nepalese
  Turks, Finns, Congolese
You do it, Kamala ~ You're no creampuff

Away from the sun to the horizon
flaming road
Lamps with different colors and sizes
Different group of people
Came out of the house
In the thick midnight
Anyway, male or female,
Beautiful Couples
Completely natural
City streets
Street sidewalks
Street Squares
Garden benches, drifts
Sweet light, with a touch of cool air
and welcome to love one 
In...

THE SOUL OF A CHILD By Satis Shroff

They called me the ‘harelip monster’ at school,
And the schoolkids kicked me down the stairs.
I’d often come home bruised;
The children of my age called me:
‘Lakhe, the red-faced monster,’
Some even called me ‘Scareface.’
We were poor and my mother prayed...

Radio impulse
Stray songs invite;
Hip melancholy

Words and lyrics
Basket of moods;
Mental corridors

Espresso machine
Caffeine song;
Frothy brew

Dancing darling
Plucks my heart strings;

Vivid charades fix;

I wish I had time for poetry and plays
My mind allowed 
As I watched the same aged, bespectacled monk
For about the fifteenth time this month
 Patter his bare feet
Upon the pavement
Of the dust filled lane.

 Leaving me again
 To contemplate
  Broken shards of yesterday

Yellow leaves fall
Harsh humid heat;
Earth gathers debris

~~~~~~~~~


Time runs away
Space now bereft;
A change of heart

~~~~~~~~~


Empty space
Nothing much here;
Going away present

~~~~~~~~~


Odd couple here
East meets West;
Lovely colours

~~~~~~~~~


Old lady sells
Daily newspapers;
Sidewalk news sermon

~~~~~~~~~


Humid hot day
Fiery sun bombards;
SPF29 still tans

~~~~~~~~~


Morning crystal ball
Mirror exposure;
Wrinkles and grey hair

~~~~~~~~~


Earthquake tremors
Nepalese tragedy;
So many deaths

As the bus rode 
through the molting pine forest and
the crumbling ochre rock formations;
bits of colorful cellophane litter brought the only relief to the eye.

Inside, behind a profusion of people,
boxes, backpacks and assorted baggage
babies slept.

The bus creaked, shook and groaned
its way down the serpentine,
asphalt, mountain...

Lucy Locket lived amidst Lakeland Hills, where jay serenaded morning;
Like plum rainbows celebrate sunshine, with never any silent warning.

Lucy was merely twenty years old, like a peach rose, dusted with dew;
And she was also a dutiful teacher, unveiling what children never knew.

Lucy liked to sew...

I have researched the issue extensively
  and concluded most indubitably
The #1 problem we must confront immediately
  is that the NBA is Tibetan-Nepalese free                    ...

I can feel this thread running all over me, it’s like I am connected to the deep blue sea and the current is pulling me into the deep dragging me towards an unplanned destiny; the cords are running in vain and something profound is driving...
