Hi Poems

Hi May

Hi January
I miss you
ah, not you
but January. I miss May,
who smiled in the flower field
to the strains of the melancholic song
that played in my head at that time.

Hi May, let's go together again to January
so I can see you again
spinning merrily
among those swings.

Hello May
You will sit again by the North Sea
catching the tide
as I loved

W S Rendra translation of 'Hai Ma' or 'Hi Mom'

My English translation of "Hai Ma" by W. S. Rendra, a son to his mother and soulmate.

HAI MA ("HI MOM")
by W. S. Rendra
translation by Michael R. Burch

for Zeelhan Zahraa

Mom,
It's not death that disheartens my heart
but a lifeless life, a life unlived
because life loses its power and nature.
There are nights when I walk these corridors
with nowhere

AI versus HI -2

And you suffer confirmation bias,
Seek only what supports what you decide,
Objective as I’m, suffer no such ass,
AI posed, I’ve no monkey mind beside,
Nor my emotions blur reality,
Nor ever short change the reign of reason.
But I’ve this gift: Devil’s Advocacy,
Human intelligence is rare, my son,
To err is human and to learn divine!  
And there’s one

AI versus HI -1

In dream last night when I talked to AI,
Our dialogue went on back and forth like this:
I said, look, we see what we like well nigh,
Hope, you’re not held with such human disease. 
We can read misspelt words as fair and right,
I hope, you’ve acquired this ability--
To ignore what might fail to conform quite,
We can

Hi, It's Me

For the story
I would ruin it—
just to write it.

I'd be ruthless,
less private, shape up 
my front porch,
sharpen these claws 
on concrete 
images—
metaphorically speaking
imagine 
how to re-frame
bad guys,
wrench in a plot twist,
unmask villains' masquerading
makeup—
maybe even 
find 
myself.

Hi,Humans

Hi humans,
Memo to Earth,
For what it's worth,
Peace and love are the aim,
Never bombs, weapons to maim.

Jo Dil Me Hain Unhe Dil Me Hi Rehne Diya Jaaye To Zahoor hai

Jo Dil Me Hai Unhe Dil Me Hi Rehne Diya Jaaye To Zahoor Hai.

"Jo dil mein hain unhein dil mein hi rehne diya jaaye toh
Zahoor hai.
Dil se aage gaye toh fasaad hi hona hai.
Jo kehna hai, ishaaron mein kaho,
Zubaan khuli toh, malaal hi hona hai.
Dil mein hai woh aapke,
Toh dil mein hi rakhiyen na, yun

Hi ! Goldfish

   ‘ How are you going on ? Hi, Goldfish !
     You are so shiny fins seem polished:
      Sparkling , glistening !
       Are you listening ?’

     ‘Yes ! I am hearing, but no energy

Hi-Choo

Hi-Choo

Early spring in Corinth and I’m bathing in a pollen shower as fuzzy green seedlings are whisked here and there in the blustery March breeze, I sneeze!!

Remnants of last night’s thunderstorm cruse across the pale blue canvas of the afternoon sky as pine cones fluttering in the breeze make me sneeze, I sneeze, I I

Spring 8 by 5

I love pretty spring,
flowers it will bring,
now I want to sing.
Colors flowers wear,
in cool spring day air.
Pretty is my yard,
looking like a card,
fence will be a guard.


I really see,
a big yellow bee,
it's looking at me.
Look a butterfly,
flying real high,
is he saying hi?
The red ladybug,
I want a big hug.

Hi Stranger

It still had fun the other night
Though I couldn't get you in my sight
I tried and tried to catch your eye
I understood and I knew why
You looked so nice I have to say
You always look nice anyway
I thought I may have smelled perfume 
Your essence always fills a room

Hi-Five Hai-ku

Problems pass on by,
they are hard to hold onto...
when now never ends!

In this dark mansion,
phantoms of fear are vanquished...
by the flames of faith!

We part the Red Sea,
of flesh and blood to escape...
our evil pharaohs!

Points of light appear,
where the velvet sky wears thin...
and heaven shines through!

The light it shall come,
shining in the eastern sky...
betrothed to the

Buddy Hi-Di-Ho Santy

Buddha meets ... that is strange,
Announce the meet ... strange the more,
Buddha meets ... not so strange,
Announce misquote ... Buddha just wrote,
Though history ... Buddha's story, 
Timing bit off ... historians scoff,
What came first; egg or chicken ... what came post; begs a question,
Christmas or Buddha ... Buddha or Christmas,
It is neither ... here nor

Hi Hey Ho

Connor Constrictor 
crept through the carpet.
Marianne Marmot 
marched through the market
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
 
Tutu Toucan 
turned to and fro
while Wally Walrus 
watched in slow mo.
Singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi

Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Hi-ho the derry-o

I've two computers I'd like to sell,
They're old, but they both still work very well.
They are Windows desktops, aka, a PC,
One browses with Firefox,
And one with IE.
I can't recall, now, which is which,
But as near as I can tell,
The latter's in the Acer,
And the former in the Dell.
