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"

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
