You must have heard many rags to riches stories,
this one is one such fairytale with happy ending.
Once upon a time, in a remote village,
lived a happy boy, called Manik, in a farmer family,
up until his parents died in an accident,
and he became an orphan,
having no one to take care of him,
and in lonely nights he slept hungry.
So, he left the village and went to the city,
searching for a job that nobody gave.
He loitered on the road, begging to survive,
until one day, out of pity and compassion,
Anil, a merchant, gave him shelter.
Manik was happy once again,
for he became a part of Anil’s family.
But problem arose as he couldn’t sleep at night,
because his room was full of mice.
Thinking to do something about it,
he borrowed some money
from Anil’s daughter, Lucy,
and bought a cat, he named Billy,
that killed all the mice to his relief.
When Anil went on a trading trip
to the neighboring kingdom,
he took Manik and his cat along.
Business over, as Anil was ready to leave,
the king asked him if he had any solution
to the menace of mice plaguing the palace.
Anil sold Billy to the king who was so pleased
for it killed all the mice in no time,
he gave a large amount of money and gold to Manik,
making him instantly rich beyond imagination.
When Manik returned home immensely wealthy,
he wanted to pay back the money
he had borrowed from Lucy
to buy the cat of fortune,
but she refused to take,
saying she had helped him then
because she loved him.
They got married and lived happily thereafter.

Hey, you, chillin’ in my spot,
why did you not ask
if I’d mind you sitting there
in your Bandit’s mask?
Couch potato (not some man)
just a real cool cat.
Where’d you get your cattitude?
I want some of THAT.
Where might be my popcorn bowl
left where you now sit?
Did you steal it? Because I
wanted more of it!
With your bushy big black tail -
knowing what to do -
you sit comfy on your tush;
making me serve YOU!
Here’s a kitty treat, ok?
Roly poly pet,
let me rub your tummy tum.
How purr-fect you get!

There is a great gal on our ‘Soup’
Renowned in our poetry group
She’s ready to show
How our poems glow
With comments that give us the scoop.
Sincere as she gives us her view
Of writes we submit, old or new
No sooner we post
She’s there like our host
With greetings to look forward to.
Her poetry’s lovely to read
No matter what subject indeed
Some words leave us sad
Some words make us glad
And some provide lessons to heed.
So friendly to all on our site
We love her with all of our might
Although she has woes
Her care she bestows
On others to help with their plight.

Flashback to an enchanted time in my life
So long ago forgotten any trace of strife
A dogeared corner to a most favorite page
Four rainbow budgies and an oversize gilded cage
In my youth my dreams ever waiting for a sign
It was a time of drenching floodlit sunshine
Inpouring from my kitchen patio doors
The energy from bright blue skies outdoors
The bubbly chirping happiness is what I remember
It lasted on through right until september
Four rainbow budgies who could do no wrong
How I loved each one as they sang all day long
They chanted and wholeheartedly I listened
It was as if my life just glistened
The bubbly chirping happiness is what I remember
Not the sadness when rolled around the first of december
Four rainbow budgies in an oversize gilded cage
Right before my whole life was up on stage

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
NAT KING COLE
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
WHEN WE FELL OUT OF LOVE
Tears fall from my eyes; you said we were over
Now you’re walking out on me
Never dreamed you didn’t love me
You were always right there by my side
But you had a secret lover
You’re a rat it cannot be denied
I can’t sleep at night for my heart is aching
Now you’ve chosen her not me
I am hurting oh so bad I don’t know what to do
Why did I fall in love with you?
I am hurting oh so bad I don’t know what to do
Why did I fall in love with you?

A long time ago I had an adorable pet,
his name I fondly gave was Billy.
He liked to lie on the sofa, dripped it wet,
I thought, of him that was silly.
He would never use the assigned place
where he was trained and supposed to pee.
Outside of the house nobody saw his face,
too lazy, inside he always wanted to be.
His insular way of life I didn’t at all mind,
too cute, I wanted him always around me.
With his constant presence I was entwined,
for he became an integral part of my family.
One spring, outside he started daily to run,
my heart broke when after a long wait
one night, home I didn’t find him return.
My neighbor said he ran away with his mate.

Contest : Write a rhyme about your favorite PET,
living or not
Sponsor : Regina Riddle
Pet : Cat
You Have to Hand it to Couched Bandit
There's a cat just like me
A couched bandit on the spree
Her raccoon eyes hankering for more grub
... and another belly rub
Did I say with baby oil?
For she pre-purrs to be spoiled
Carte blanche in her pocket
Bells and whistles on her docket
For the remote control is hers
The newspaper she'll read first
The conversation she'll hoard
Wield, wield her mighty sword
Fur, fur the couch is all hers
That ... should I say, she pre-purrs
This epiphany glistens !!!
Honey, honey are you listening?

My love cars
My first rendezvous
was Honda Civic iVtec
black automatic,
1799 cc, 4 cylinders
130 bhp, torque 172Nm,
Stole my heart
speed bound no limits,
Left me for a new owner.
Shunning loneliness,
Magnetised by
his macho shape
and pearl white colour,
Graceful eye to eye
luxurious costume,
I let his lusty belt
embrace my waist,
One button start
and we were together
Adrenaline gush
to a four by four,
Off road
over tough terrain
wondered his guts....
2800 cc, 4 cylinders
178 bhp, torque 350Nm,
Pajero Mitsubishi
my passion SUV.
Five years later
as it betrayed,
My heart cried
Grief of parting .....
Toyota Fortuner
my next fortune,
D- 4D, inter cooler
Turbocharger 2982 cc
168 bhp, Torque 343 Nm
Walked into my life
tough milky white,
Hugged me dear
wiped my tears,
My next love
its exquisite walk,
I try to escape those
Green eyed monsters
those road runners....
One Land Rover
Range Rover evoque
is now eying at me,
Waiting for
another heartbreak....

If you listen, you will hear Him
Calling faithfully out to you
Like a nightingale in the dark
Or a choir of crickets chirping;
As the wind within the willows,
His very stones cry out for you
If you listen, you will hear Him,
A Father calling urgently
For all His children who are lost.
Hear His passion and His sorrow
For loved ones who will not listen
Who won't believe that Someone cares.
Listen through the pens of prophets
To the words of our wise Master,
Asking us down the ages to choose
Eternal joy we cannot lose.
With faith’s oil let us trim our lamps
And follow the light of the Lamb.

Contest: Write a Psalm
Sponsor: Regina Riddle
I travel on the road arduous and stark dark,
God, show me the grace of your divine light,
save my soul from clutch of devils that lurk,
don’t forsake me, don’t go out of my sight.
On the way if I slip on slime of cardinal sin
God, hold my soiled hands and lift me up.
The pangs of penitence let me feel within,
teach me lesson, God, so I’ll clean me up.
When in deep grief my fragile heart breaks,
I start losing the meaning of me being alive,
and see my world crumble in forlorn wreck,
you’re savior, God, in your shelter I’ll survive.
I have reached the near end of my journey,
I now wait on the bank of the eternal river.
God, send the boatman, take me across early
to the other side, so I’ll be with you, forever.
