       Humpty-Dumpty wanted ride on road side view.
     All the king’s horses were standing in a queue.
                     Humpty-Dumpty chose one,
                     In the last race that won.
    All the king’s cats and kittens started calling mew-mew.

     Jubilant Jack Frost wearing thin torn jacket
        stepped on snow descending from a rocket.
                  chewed snow balls from a jug.
                   Sister Jill gave him hug.
        Jack pushed Jill to snatch her snow ball locket.    

     
         On way Red Riding Hood met a wolf in white dress
           wearing shiny soft woolly shoes with white lace.
                  Wonderful wolf named Wow-Wow
                  nodded its head and made bow.
        Nice compassionate wolf tried to impress.

      Alice was was wandering in wonderland 
       Weird happenstances ! Do you understand ?
            She entered rabbit - hole
             to slide and roll and roll.
    She met rabbit to dance delight hand in hand.


  Black Sheep peeps pushing bush beside pool,
  when little boy is on his way to school.
           Sheep eats green grass
           always in huge mass.
  It makes no wool but makes the boy fool.

LOVING MEMORIES

       My cousin sister five years older was so close to me.
       She held a great polite heart, never thought to hurt anybody.
       Neither cherished grudge nor complaint against those rude to her
       Even she never used any harsh word to those who misbehaved.        
          
      I had special adoration bathed in showers of her affection.
      Over and above she was the mirror of my childhood.
      She preserved my most memorable happenstances 
      which I had left behind but she could rewind.
     
       She is now counting days totally bedridden,
       lying supine helpless, always praying for death.
       Her only longing is now to draw last breath.
          
       She was good, she acted good, fully devoted to family.
       How and why she was passing through this miserable phase!
       No proper precise rules of Nature exist to regulate life. 
      
       She holds a high rank in the list of my loving memories.

Premium Member WAYS OF PROVIDENCE

   Am I walking through Ways of Providence ?
    or walking  just to struggle on my own !
   I am confused , also amused to sense
    reality ! Am I guided or lone ?

     Are pre- scheduled all the happenstances !
     Am I instructed by Divine Power ?
    Is there a supreme strength to embower ?
     Or, I surrender to circumstances  !

    Does Divine Guidance fabricate my fate ?
    Then life will turn purposeless - meaningless.
     No use of brain -mind-soul to navigate.
     Just to be flooded , careful or careless.
 
    How can you define , what is Providence ?
    It's Supremacy in your soul to stay.
    On Moral Values , carry Reverence.
  Ways of Providence will be shown, I say.

Fail-Safe

                   While venturing on uneven path of life
            Fair chances to slip or slide at every strife!
            Or to tumble on rumbles of obstacles:
             How to tackle the shackles of hindrances!

        My brain alarms sending advice
         'Keep always Fail-Safe device
         active and alert to control and support.

         I dream ceaseless and continue my dreams
          as I proceed and wish to succeed.
          Dormant desires display designs of ambition
           through lattice of dreams in light and shadow of happenstances.
          Fail-Safe device to guard and guide.
                 It's my pride
           as I dream and dream till fulfillment.

Premium Member A Paradox of Juxtaposition


       Series of scattered suffused sufferings
         sprouting from shocks, stress and strain 
           appearing off and on in agitated brain
               sometimes igniting anger
                sometimes to lament or repent.
                 leading to diffused despondency.
                  reflexing complexity of perplexed mind.
                All disarranged disorganised 
             rather jumbled up creating  junk.
          How to assemble! ! Totally bewildered, confused.
      Juxtaposition in jugglery.
       
     Meaningless thoughts in hazard haphazard manner
       get crumpled, entangled, coiled turning surreal 
          fumbling voice of unimplemented wishes.
            Pointless feelings suffocating.
             Unfulfilled ambitions grumbling in vain.
              Trying to get rid of nuisances.
             Peculiar unthinkable happenstances 
           coming in dreams in streams.
          drifting on garage clearance 
       through nasty nightmare.
     May be Freudian slip of subconscious mind
  encompassed by smothered sensual feelings.

  All fuels are exhausted enfeebling  my venture..
     In last phase, it's only to ruminate over long past
        No energy left to plan for too short future.
           Most ridiculous even to think of past achievements,
              an those have turned obsolete.
                Failure - Success , Love - Betrayal, Happiness - Miseries
                   are jumbled swinging in juxtaposition.


Premium Member Lost September

LOST SEPTEMBER 

      Miracle flashed amidst rife happenstances.
      Seven heavens haply stopped on doorstep.  
      I met Mr. Perfect last September.
      Days sparkled glistened in amorous glow
      Dormant desires soared high on dreamy wings.  
      Unrest spirit set sublime cool and calm.

      He left gifting sweet and sour memories.
      Me alone carrying dreary dull days.
     Despondency swims in reminisces.
     to ruminate pointless useless thwarted.
     He just walked away, ruthless truth i faced.
     Glorious moments caught in lost September.

FATE                     

                         Fate may step in life
                            as best friend
                         or puts me in strife,
                          beyond prediction,
                          beyond prevention,
                          somehow compulsion.        
                           Sometimes silent, 
                             sometimes loud,
                           flashing bright or

                                doing miracles.
                          Ill luck when came,
                          putting me in shame.

CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE

           Discrete chapters containing several happenstances
            compose book of LIFE: An automatic process.
            Life is not a continuous function.
            Sometimes monotonous, sometimes glorious,
            sometimes success to assure,
             sometimes failure to endure.
             Sometimes rapture to capture,
            Or despair not at all rare.
   
           YET ONCE
           TOLERANCE in my childhood was compulsion
           in hostile domestic atmosphere.
           A helpless innocent girl in turmoil of domiciliary turbulence
           had to spend suffocated days
           being deprived of Mom’s love.
          Dad’s affection and Grandma’s care brought little solace.

        SILENCE broke on start of adolescence.
         Firmly determined to attain free independent life
         as soon as possible
        but circumstances were not permissible.
                     
         As lone fighter, I became self-trained.
        My dad implemented Universal Moral Values in me
        to shape my life.
       I tried best to lead a disciplined life
       on path of Truth and Honesty.

       Always attended associates
       with compassionate generous heart
        When cheated, my hatred discarded
        the offender.
       Never compromised with Lies and Malice.

       Completed duties, enjoyed Life.
       Most ambitions are fulfilled.
       Greatest happiness to raise up children
       up to my satisfaction. 
                
      BUT NOW
      All achievements are turned into junk.
      Life seems meaningless.
      Whatever potentiality still I hold
      lying indolent supine
      not to define
      me anymore.
      Future too short: Running useless through last phase.

                    turn delicate saplings
                  to be planted in my memory garden.
                       I nurture and nourish,
                   keep them fresh to flourish
                     spreading branches of joy,
             rejoicing me off and on or all on a sudden!

                         I cherish happy happenstances,
                        those stirring emotive instances
                             of blissful bygone days!

                         rapturous reminiscences to rewind.   
                        Posy of sweet stories in series 
                         blooming as flowers of memories.
                         I relish
                         to ruminate long-lost past
                        I cherish 
                        tit-bit fragments of events
