a politician is a kitchen
kitchen so smoky
cooking chicken ideas
got from private farms
with a lot of smoke
in hurry, rush and crash
prepares food so delicious
with local spices
sometimes red pepper
Then what happens?
the menu of smoke and spices
once ready
kitchen closes its door
citizens the waiting guests
go hungry but…hymmm
those who gate-crash
or demand
pick the pieces
E-cstasy of the moment
R-emains despite the rain;
I-t's a big exciting event,
C-ausing not ache and pain.
A-n ecstasy of the moment
N-ever lets pressure prevail;
G-reed tries to gate-crash,
U-sing hate but to no avail.
L-arge amount of mirth makes you feel so content;
O-n fourth September morn comes ecstasy of the moment.
Y-our birthday celebration
A-ugust fourth sunny day;
S-eems so nice and great,
M-aking sadness go away.
I-t's your birthday bash, bringing so much mirth;
N-ight so long has passed, letting the dawn break on earth.
L-et your birthday event
A-llow the rain to stop;
V-ile weather will turn fine,
A-s the sun starts rising up.
P-ure and perfect delight
I-s wrapped with pleasure;
E-arly light begins to shine, causing your heart some rapture.
B-irthday occasion of you
E-ndorses a thousand thrill;
L-et your life be filled with joy
T-o go on with hope and zeal.
R-eceive my warm wish
A-s you enjoy the jubilation;
N-o one can gate-crash in your birthday celebration.
Cool windy air
Rustling bamboo leaves;
Nature whispers
~~~~~~~~~
Warm sun beams
Light through bamboo;
Morning silhouette
~~~~~~~~~
Overcast sky
Gloomy ambience;
Flash of lightning
~~~~~~~~~
Blank page
Splash of e-ink;
Words gate crash
~~~~~~~~~
Change intervenes
Abrupt shockwaves;
Bloody bookmark
~~~~~~~~~
Prismatic light
Colour passage;
Rainbow dazzle
~~~~~~~~~
Food court tryst
Four for company;
Meal time conversations
~~~~~~~~~
Hair salon date
Sculpting new textures;
New looks emerge
~~~~~~~~~
Westward track
Mix food menu;
Stuff meets fancy
~~~~~~~~~
Cheer comes easy
Mundane happenings;
Poise entertains
