Premium Member He Gave Her a Book

She grew up in the modernity of urban culture,
fascinated by the rhythm of contemporary music,
decided to make the career of choice
as a professional pop singer.

An exponent of traditional art, her father
didn’t like the idea of his daughter straying.
So, on her eighteenth birthday he gave her a book, 
“Geetanjali” (song offerings), he cherished most.

A collection of classical lyrics with central theme
resonating the serene music of devotion to God,
didn’t appeal to her youthful vibrant mind,
so, she stowed it away unread in the bookshelf.

Time didn’t treat her the way she wanted,
destiny rolled for her the unkindest dice.
Before she could cross the prime of youth,
deadly disease destroyed her sonorous voice.	

As all her songs sank in the abyss of agony,  
she remembered the book of song her father gave.
From its pages lyrics of solace echoed in her ears,
she lost her voice, but discovered the divine melody.

(Geetanjali (Song Offerings) is written by Rabindranath Tagore for which he received the nobel prize for literature)

Mischievous Ashes Quips from previous trips

Blowers basked in causing quite an iffy stir with his devious quip & slur on a previous Ashes trip…mischievous when tasked Customs asked do you have a criminal record, Sir ? 

Delicious not really malicious..the Aussies beaten by the squiffy mellow spiffy commentary don from Eton.. as he did bellow in a jiffy "why my dear old fellow..do I need one?"

The blizzards of OZ.. team and crowd are bullishly proud about how it’s not allowed for them to be kowtowed..having the fizz to do the biz in any tizz..so crass..brash and loud.. Vultures

Which is why I still enjoy how that blonde boy.. sometime fool or tool & England envoy Lord Fauntleroy (yep Gower) did annoy .. as public school cruel did rule..

Dave did wave from his Ivory Tower...mean as Jardine made them glower when asked what he thought about the cricketing war between two powers & Cultures..

Like a lush lefty skied cover drive…the plush curly exponent hard as he tried couldn't hide enjoying the moment & ride...

As a proponent of some early hurly burly.. made them smart..denied being snide but slyly wryly and dryly replied without hesitation

The baronial blondie or country squire fondly did chide and deride with his aside..

Did confide the question implied but lied that there was actually factually a plied allied Culture..

Or indeed an applied appreciation of art in this dire Colonial upstart nation & his opponents entire side..

Jasprit Boom Boom Hurrah

Camera zoom...Boom - Boom shakes the room


All eyes on the prize

Rise & lies of franchise

Moolah the crueler ruler

Sparking doom and gloom

Marking Test cricket’s demise


If there is a golden ticket 

Doing his bit to save it

King of swing..ping and kerching


Another out of orbit gambit

Harder to decipher than sanskrit

Sure fire hit…well it has to be Jasprit


Vortex vex…whippier…that flex…nippier 

That stammer…batter’s cortex hex

Voodoo..hoodoo..hullabaloo juju

No real defects..trippier zippier 

Sledge hammer..T Rex


Bumrah unravels…travels in a perverse 

Parallel universe..almost tectonic

Every component…supersonic 

Reverse exponent..demonic


Bucolic rollick & frolic

Bionic hypertonic

In cricket's lexicon

The bowling Don

Definition of iconic


Out of the box…runs amok..

Forever will outfox…bubonic

Deadly as smallpox

Cricket’s salvation & emancipation… tik tok sensation

No mystery how he’s making history


His gall…feats with the ball

Puts the most bums on seats

Gets them in a spin…hear 

The din….gleaming…beaming grin


Watch him spar…gory glory

Top fella & stellar superstar

The death kneller...genie in the jar

Fortune & story teller…nobody on a par


Best seller…so fans near and far

Come on let’s give a massive hurrah 

To the one and only…Jasprit Bumrah!

Premium Member School Time Crush

Dear strong, mysterious Mr. Richter,
I have adored you all semester.

It's all about the way you say "cosign"
and the command you give to busy equations.
You keep those numbers all in line,
as if any one could give dissuasions.

With exponent passion you draw me in,
a mathematician first, then a teacher.
Each number's a friend, a neighbor, a kin.
Each student is a math-munching creature.

You couple denominators, strong and alike,
a prismic marriage of commonality,
then suddenly you divide them like
a Shakespearean tragedy.

Then you flip-flop like common weather,
and in a calm numerical tangent,
you bring those digits back together 
like a quadrilateral sonnet.

Your rhombus eyes, like tigers animate
when you say the word "perpendicular."
Could you say you'd ask me for a date,
anywhere logarithmic, but I'm not particular.

Take me away on a coordinate plane,
parallel to a median integer
with stem-and-leaf plot as the terrain,
and a commutative property perimeter.

I can offer admiration and a laugh,
just teach me how to use a protractor.
Of all the variables on a bar graph,
we are the greatest common factor.

Premium Member The Pursuit of Contentment -POTD

Whatever the offerings of time may bring
Whatever song my heart chooses to sing
On life’s small pursuit I shall meditate
Elysian splendor around me, I appreciate
The simplicities of pastoral living unfurl
I’m graced in your stellar light, a cosmic pearl
Serene contemplation, moments well spent
A transcend of intellect, I pursue contentment
Humbled, a mochila drapes my shoulders 
Now weightless, old tomes heavy as boulders
Once laden with Maslow's hierarchy of needs
The cause of sight itself as Plato laid the seeds
Streets of an unclean soulless city no more 
Once blemished and ugly as a repellant eyesore
Until this vacant shell had found release,
acceptance paralleled an inner peace
A new perspective can only see the beauty
of the craftsmanship and the ingenuity 
On this celestial hike I embrace “carpe diem”
A lesson learned in this hour spans a millennium
The power and value of each moment 
however brief, I walk along as an exponent                     
Unfurling love that rids me of my emptiness
Colloquially speaking I have found happiness

Vocabularist

His use of English was exquisite
His vocabulary superb
He could use the mot juste
To make his thoughts reverb,
Tousled moppy hair above
A big bespectacled grin
The sort of warm personality 
That could really draw folk in.

And he swore with such panache,
Such flowing verve and style
You just couldn't take offence
Just had to sit and smile.
The intensity of his delivery
Varied according to his mood,
Unaccentuated for a joke 
Severe if being rude.

And his throaty little chuckle
As he looked you in the eye
Always eager and ready
To meet your reply.
A scholar and a gentleman
A wit and raconteur
A truly gifted exponent of 
The art of how to swear.

We dissected many a word
Over many too many a drink
Sometimes being so drunk
We could barely think 
A friendship of the past
Years later still valued
The way we lost touch
A fact so sadly rued

He was my friend 
For just a few years
And as theses things go
He suddenly disappeared.
I'm pretty sure he'll be dead
After all theses years
From far too many ciggies 
To many shorts too many beers.
.
My life has  been a joy
And looking back to the front end
He gave me so much pleasure for
Those years he was my friend.
He gave me his friendship,
Made me more aware 
Of the art of conversation,
Of how and when to aptly swear.

Premium Member Day Of Passage

From my door in a lovely town,
I look straight ahead in wonder,
clouds, seascape, distant boat,
are core  of an early morning view,
a homely place now awakening,
the sound of each window heard,
people sense this charmed spot, 
has depth, magic, and mystery,
which is such an attraction say,
as the day of passage in sunlight,
a green and brown leaf exponent,
from tree top towered ring fence,
on blissful watch as passersby,
aware of  sage eager eco eye,
that glances o’er round the clock,
plot, play, pursuit, and presage.                                       
of an urban gathering  on purpose,
with infectious soul stepping forward,
in directions of a wonder world dream,
which at this point has only begun

Premium Member My New Year Resolutions

"It is so easy to make resolutions, but to keep them is an uphill task"~ By Poet

We take new resolutions on each New Year’s Day,
But never seriously stick to them and success ebbs away.

I am no exception and like many, I must sincerely admit
That I may break my resolutions, but will never feel guilty a bit

First of all, I won’t make resolves that would hamper my day.
In most things, I wish to have my own personal way.

But to good propositions I am open and never shall be deaf.
As all wish, when the year ends, I want to turn over a new leaf.

With novel schemes, I don’t want to be an exponent,
But I will not sit back like a couch potato and be my own opponent. 

When someone provokes me with words and actions rude, 
I wish to stay calm, but excuse me if I blurt out a little crude.

I will try to do as much as I can, for time ticks away,
Won't wait for the last minute, which I feel is the right way.

Try to adapt to surroundings and move as quick as a wren.
Ramble through my garden and enjoy flowers now and then. 

Spend more time with nature watching little objects and scenes.
Wander into meadows to get lost in the charm of sprawling greens.

Carry a walking stick, that at my age, even a small fall
Can break my brittle bones and into serious damage it can haul.

Though I don’t hope to be a body builder at my age
Will exercise daily, not with hopes of retracing my steps to teenage.

Once I was in good shape and had an hour glass figure
Though can't retain it, careful, from the mirror not to have a scare

Now with so much said, don’t ask me If I could keep my resolutions live 
At the end of the year, if I am fortunate to stay sane and alive!
