Mahatma Gandhiji

My humble tribute to a great personality: When India won freedom, he did not attend the celebration, rather he was on road helping all, trying to end communal violence. He said how can I celebrate when so many are in distress. _________________________ Aagadhi Bagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji was loved by countrymen for his good deeds. He lead life practicing spirituality as laid out in scriptures and had no greed. Cagadhi Dagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji was feared by Britishers for all loved him. He always lived life of admirability like a poor and like them he had no whim. Eagadhi Fagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji fought with high principles, Govt felt helpless. Such was his heart touching emotionality that he worked tirelessly serving helpless Gagadhi Hagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji was idealistic with willpower He never aspired for materialistic possession, position, any power Igadhi Jagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji believed that we should teach through our actions He was never caught with uncharacteristic display of violence Or bad actions Kagadhi Lagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji could not bear to see sad face of people. He spoke truth, was never sensationalistic while giving speeches to country people. Magadhi Nagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji strived for happiness, freedom for all. Professional lawyer, academically brilliant, he sincerely strived for all. Oagadhi Pagadhi Mahatma Gandhiji wanted to give all his people freedom. He took upon self the responsibility and India regained back her freedom. ______________________ Dated : 31st Jan 2021 Written for Double dactyl contest by William Kekaula Syllable count checked at poetry soup syllable counter.

you did yours with much ambition. I think you did it right. (You had left a comment on mine that you were unsure). The only thing throwing me off was having to use a "made up" word in one line, but I think the sponsor did not do his that way, so I think without making up a word, you did the form very well. This was a very weird poetry form for me, but I think you really did the challenge well.

A weird form for me too. Wasn't wanting to participate, then said take it as a challenge. Big not only out of ambition, also out of love for the character. Gandhiji is my role model especially his non violence. Thanks for checking and telling it is correct. God bless! Take care Rama
