After 365 days of
Balancing our daily routines,
Caring for our loved ones,
Daring to dream of relaxing days - yes,
Even after realising it's all
Futile, we still wait to have our
Great days, our very own
Happy mornings - long live our
Imagination; But let's not just
Judge the year gone past, badly;
Keeping ourselves in good health,
Longing to have some "me time",
Maintaining good relationships -
Never have all these been more important
Or sought after, than in these
Post-covid times - rather, an essential
Quiet gap between difficult times of
Rains, virus and wars, among others;
Somewhere between tragedies, we became
Thankful for the silver linings - appreciating
Universal peace and helping each other;
Vacations and holidays recharged us and I
Wish that we get more of those every year.
X-mas now gives way to the start of a new
Year - a year that I hope keeps us all safe,
Zestful and yearning for a peaceful life.

"In those vernal seasons of the year when the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injury and sullenness against nature not to go out and see her riches, and partake in her rejoicing with heaven and earth." - John Milton
Valleys, fields, meadows and hills take on a sunny glow.
Everything is fresh, and nature’s new creatures flourish and grow.
Rains pour down; mountain streams joined to rivers flow.
Never at least till fall must I worry about streets filled with snow.
Abloom are various flowers and trees; they put on beautiful show.
Life renews and songs fill the air as spring’s birds fly to and fro.

An Acrostic Storms
Snows and rain.
Tropical cloudbursts cause clouds burst.
Occasional rains pour.
Rains snow rain pour.
Many hits kick flash erupt.
Small whirlwinds sink surmounts as acrostic.

i magination loosely knot ted
a decending
brilliant thinking thought
-thing into a sitting lotus
lip /\_mOUNT_/\ains of freshly
brewed beans of fearing sweat!
we poets love each other very
dearly and TEN derly cry when the next one dies
as fear is kin to praise within impossible mayflowers:
and three cheers for brevity
in a mindLocked world of mindless
activity!

S-harper than any double-edged sword,
O-ne God's truth sets man free;
N-othing ever is impossible,
N-ew result of His promise
Y-ou will see.
G-od's message is so clear
E-verytime it is conveyed;
R-ains from storm shall stop,
A-s everything is God-made.
L-ife comes from God's wisdom,
D-eath is willed by Him in time;
O-nce man follows His mandate, he shall be away from dirt and grime.
C-reator's command is so loud,
U-sing its power to convince;
S-eptember twenty-eighth morn
T-he Lord says what He means.
O-pen your heart, mind and soul,
D-enying not the Lord's holy word;
I-t can turn one's life around,
O-r it's sharper than any double-edged sword.

H-azy air and annoying hassle
A-re barred from joyful affair;
Z-one of sheer happiness
E-radicates the pressure's
L-air.
J-oyful affair bars the drop
O-r fall from the heaven's grace;
Y-our birthday is a blessing because many people praise.
B-ig affair bars the haze,
A-s well as hassle and drop;
R-ains that come in torrents
T-wentieth September, stop.
O-n this day the sky is so bright,
L-etting you see the current crop;
O-ne huge joyful affair bars the haze, hassle, and drop.

J-okes that break the ice
O-bliterate the dull moment;
H-appiness is truly brought,
S-o does the joy to the event.
E-ighteenth September morn
D-enies the boring wish;
E-xpressing the sense of humor,
R-ains of loneliness vanish.
V-ery nice jokes that break
I-ce provoke fun and laughter;
L-ife becomes so easy,
L-etting you brave the bad weather.
A-nother joke that breaks the ice
N-ever brings any pressure;
U-sing its climactic twist,
E-veryone feels the pleasure.
V-ile clime can no longer cause tears to the smiling eyes;
A-s you celebrate your birth, hear the jokes that break the ice.

Little or large, it doesn’t matter
Illumination makes everything seen
Gains the fear of darkness
However condensed it captures a corner
To reveal, stand out and dominate

SUMMER SUMMER
‘S earing is believing’, so to say
U mbrella-shaded or not, all is hay.
M uggy months with their max-it-out man hours,
M ay being the maddest in gods' asylum.
E ven the other three and those scrimpy
R ains tend to simmer a la summer.
S howering and changing and showering
U nwinding at night under the awning.
Mangoe-like season's fruits, local palm's gifts
M ade-at-home drinks and coconut juice.
E ndothermic, bodies turn, to sink extra heat
R efreshed and trim, it is COOL summer times.
Note:- Second stanza (acrostic) added subsequently .
