Long Cbc Poems

I learnt to swim at ten
But was afraid of attempting a dive from height
Stayed in den!

I must be bold
I vowed to dive no matter plight
Why hold?

One day then
Took the three metre flight
Yen!

I learnt to swim...

Could not wait for recess 
Straight to the playground towards the low hanging swings
Shouting yes!

Higher, higher
Reaching for the sky fun it brings;
Flier

Spirit
Inside me sings
It

Could not wait for recess 
Reaching for the sky fun it brings
It

Summer beneath clear sky, 
Squalling seagulls swoop to pilfer a bit of food
hurl up high. 

Boys bask with joy
in the sun breezy playful mood. 
Enjoy. 

Blue sea, 
honey-sand you'd
see.

Kites fly in open sky 
as they...

caress me with soft love
and a lullaby it would sing a starry night
up above

fierce flame will burn
harmony of passion will light
unworn

breath kiss
by candle light
bliss

fleeting glance awakes Love
bathing in afterglow moon's light
bliss

When I was  ten years old
At that age I was considered to be brave boy;
I was told.

I loved hiking
Friends had nicknamed me, with great joy--
'Viking'

Made me
Happy, yet coy
Gee!

When I was  ten years old
Friends...

One leaf left on tree
No undue unhappiness
Always in great spree

One leaf left on tree
All by itself in the airiness
Feels never lonely or retiree

One leaf left on tree
It spends itself as it sways
Breathing with utmost glee

A brand new year will soon begin…new page,
one sheet of twelve to see upon the wall;
it cleanly hangs, no scribbles, signs of age.
New Year...so many days to get things done;

Let go of, to get to
All we see unreal, why for then confusion
Joy renew

There’s no hero
The manifest, an illusion
Zero

Thoughts stream
The conclusion
Dream

Let go of, to get to
The manifest, an illusion
Dream

Petite five-pound Yorkie; 
mother nature is full of small surprises, he's 
scant dorky. 

Mind of his own, 
always so hungry, gnaws on his
dull bone. 

Wind howls, 
Tator, my whizz,
growls. 

I wish my small Yorkie

far from wintry England
into caressing warmth of a tropical beach 
sun and sand

fun and frolick
in a lazy temperate breach

"Peacock feathers will grow"
If kept in a book ,nourished by pencil shavings;
I raised brow!
 
Probing to test~
Borrowed some from my friend's savings;
With zest.

Inclined
By false ravings--
Pined!!

What means this word, bizarre?
Quirky in appearance and character- offbeat!
Strange, by far!

Platypus has
Beaver's tail, duck's bill, and webbed feet.
Pizzazz!

Revered  
Yet bittersweet!
Weird.

A Pet Minichu
(original title) Dearest Pet

Long ago - dearest pet -
a miniature cute white Eskimo doggy
I would get.

Great joy unfurled.
A light my doggy came to be -

Love!

Playing on grandpa’s farm,
just I and my sisters, and I’m around five.
What alarm!

Too late we see
we've somehow stirred up a bee hive.
We flee!

We run
to stay alive.
Fun?

Them magic tricks bizarre!
Bodies slit in pieces, pigeons fly out of hats;
Minds ajar!

Heartbeats on edge!
Wonderstruck, no chitchat;
Sword wedge!

Whoosh! whoosh!
Wand's airborne splat;
Touche!!

Them magic tricks bizarre!
Wonderstruck, no chitchat;

of vast nature be part
hear the salty sea waves rush in with froth and foam
steer the heart

stretch out on sand
merge to make sea, sand and sun home
disband

go dive

Grandson’s hindu wedding,
English grandma wore an Indian silk saree,
Not kidding!

But, without exception,
an imprecation to the old, a shibboleth
perception

then filters through:
the final, awful end of death
in view.

To some,
just their next breath
comes.

But, without exception
the final, awful end of death
comes.
