Sand storm begins as barely a twitch--
at most she's profoundly amusable.
She warns tiny spiders weaving a stitch
their web will soon be unusable.
She grows and swirls into pirouette,
fitting her slippers to Enpointe toes.
Dances with a gentle breeze, and yet
invites pebbles to go where she goes.
Plucking a few blossoms for blowing hair,
paper skirts of amber, golden brown,
crystals of sand for evening wear,
she swirls, enticing all around.
Her friend, wind, challenges noisy gales
animals shudder and hide their eyes.
Sand has tantrums, and often wails,
pretends as queen of blustery skies.

All leaders are enough capable
To remove problems analyzable;
They set few goals achievable,
And strive to solve snags tangle.
Ready to meet challenges triple
Without any hurry or hustle.
Calm in disasters are as a temple
Faith and hope run apprehensible
In them, and are always adjustable
With all – top to bottom in jostle.
Have rights and duties analyzable
Keep them at length allowable;
War! Can forever involve trouble
Ready to fight with vigour amusable.
Leadership is a quality - acquittal
For those in difficulty are adjustable.
Beating below belt not admirable
Kind yet hard like a steel, abominable
And sweet both lie in a leader capable.
Solidly soft, yet greatly defendable;
Rigid, tough but right in tight tousle.
Napoleon and Gandhi are available
With him to any problem tackle.
Modi’s tongue, Teresa’s struggle –
All are there in a leader capable.

A whinstone varigated thoughtless vegetative scrumptious.
A thanksgiving theology scrupulous splutter simultaneous.
A wistful zephyr as a wizened face vehemently wiseacre,
A filibuster recommends fiddlesticks to extradite fabulous.
An extraordinary amusable, desirable or sustainable flush.
