and post notes and photos about your poem like Krish Radhakrishna.
I randomly picked 10 words with my eyes closed from a book that happened to be by my side as suggested by Caren. It was a book on Gayatri mantra that I had read earlier! I omitted some words that were pure sanskrit but the rest 10 I used to put this poem together!
In feverish pace of todays world,
God is not a concern of the young,
No time at dawn sunrise to behold,
nor ears for the psalms in His name sung!
their positive thing all for money,
while you and time watch from the side line,
evening's out with their own love 'honey'
money and nights lost to food and wine!
Should you advice even by error,
flicker of sarcasm rides past their face,
your ego shrinks to size of finger,
and respect for you may not find trace.
they are in shower for hours and hours,
you patiently wait, twiddle your thumb,
as a parent you have no powers,
you may be dismissed like you are dumb.
thing, twiddle, shower, dawn, concern, while, finger, positive, own, error
2nd placement
