Memories - Lol

Happy me! 
Dressed up in new pink sheath dress,
embellished with white sparkles.
Excited to flaunt it to lasses and lads.
Quickly walked out swaying my tress.

Inspecting eyes stared at me in amazement
 “Baby walk with style!”  that was cerebrum’s announcement.

Oh hell! 
I fell down from my porch escalier,
Down into the mire.
I just hurtled to avoid the huddle.
Remembering those happy days, together we crackle.

On a holiday, at Agra Fort.
With my friends, gushing and rushing on the ramp.
Hay scattered just like sand.
Uf! Suddenly what happened?
 I slipped and slithered!
“Now what was that?”, I was out of my head.
“Dry elephant dung”, bursting with laughter, someone dispreads .
Entire herd weirdly cracked up!

It was my lucky day.
I just rode my bicycle all the way.
Proudly I declared, “Hey I can ride without any strain.”
And before I could finish, found myself in the drain.
Laughing out loudly, friends applauded once again.
Hey! This is how every story must begin!

My list goes on, but I think, now I should stop!
Else, laughing out loudly, your jaws will drop!

Spectators Applaud

spectators applaud
as breeze lifts a lady’s skirt - -
a husband scowls

We Applaud You

Come on in, the Crowd awaits- the Nation is on its feet
Expressing thanks for your service-dare not be discreet.
We roll out the red carpet - of jubilant praise just for you
Expressing our gratitude for all you've done and do.
We tip our hats to God for he has heard us as we say
Keep the soldiers under your wings he heard us pray.
You went into a battle yet, didn't know what to expect
Fought for our countrys freedom without any regrets.
We indeed are so blessed by the ones who did survive
Even those who succombed then, in our hearts are now alive.



Dedicated to our Veterans 
Thank You

Forgivers of prominent killers

To... 
The first black president
I applaud you
Please ignore the repetition
I was just taking this time to write about those 
that deserve recognition

I Applaud...

I commend the apple fallen on Newton’s head,
Man’s gravity realized with a Nature’s gift.
I rejoiced in the waves picked up by Marconi,
Human voice felt for its living presence.
I was thrilled by the tungsten glittered thro’ Edison,
Light shone across the darkness.
I flew with the flying machine of Wright Brothers,
Man’s proximity counted with knowledge of speed;
But I APPLAUD the Blessings from Above
Who hath built man in His Image.

Waves Applaud

moon's beaming allures

Never Applaud a Fraud

Give no accolades to the man so sly

To avoid some blame by telling a lie.

But he earns respect if he takes reproof

And the risk of shame by telling the truth.

(Let me remind us all to be more truthful, then we won't have to remember what we 
say.) James

Premium Member Verse Freed To Applaud

A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.

Premium Member The Winds Applaud

The leaves engage in

      Colourful acrobatics,

            To the wind's applause.

Applaud Your Own

applaud your own
my words are stones
throwing bones
dusting thrones
leave me's alone
ha ha ha
voices through chalk
gawking like hawks
feathers on ponds
pawns release
two dollars
treat
meet meet
meat
of
the
vegetarian root
straw with soot
hollow toed foot
bopped a popped
puffing a spooned dropped
dripping from meaningful
landing in worded handfuls
just a mirage for clones
applaude your own
?

I Am Proud To Applaud God

When I'm at the Kingdom Hall, I do something to honor God.
I am a Christian who is proud to applaud.
I applaud God and you should too.
God loves me and he loves you.
When it comes time for us to give God our applause,
we should not hesitate to clap, we should not pause.
Jehovah God deserves applause because his only son died for our sins.
And Jesus's death will make it possible for us to see our loved ones again.

Recognised Performance To Applaud

Life can only be understood backwards and yet we must live it forwards.
Such a confusing analogy that could leave your head spinning relentlessly crazy.
And yet our desperation to resolve the riddles that plague us on every occasion,
Can merge appearance and reality, into a mist that seems a kind of hazy.

We cannot change upon reflection and regrets are a waste of time.
Yet lessons can be learnt if contemplating honestly what has resulted in this space.
Prevention a cure, not always an option considering the trials and tribulations,
Incredulous variations hurled at a mind-boggling alarming pace.

So with all the reverse psychology comes procrastination of course,
Another futile action that produces no positive results for one and all.
And yet our desperation to fix what we perceive as broken form words not actions,
That bring us this reoccurring turmoil resulting in this consequential catastrophic fall.

And so I wonder is there any point in attempting to comprehend our circumstances,
When our perspective on the analogy is without doubt, twisted and selfishly flawed.
Maybe this adventure is not for us to question or fathom its underlining reason,
But an invitation to play, not our need for a recognised performance to applaud
