you to breathe, to cry, to see. The waiting
of all who hope for you, so...

Horn Combined Not Maligned Haiku

Cat is not a pain
Over house has a free rein
Which is domain.

I did discover,
To interrupt is corrupt;
Always done abrupt.

Is agitator
Also manipulator;
Even a traitor.

Between is schism;
Nationalist populism;
Read in catechism.

Was on Morning show...

In the center of my chest sounds;
A pestle and mortar that pound,
With the rhythm of tudu-tudu-tudu;
In a manner that flows,
one and two and three;- breathe;
The ratio of three to one,
Three beats of my heart followed...

What if we'd met at Jackson Memorial in the neonatal ward,
Placed ever so gently, side by side, facing the outside world?

lest we forget angels
lifting up
the fallen child,
the one within
the rocking carriage.
thumb-sucker delicacies,
in fetal position,
cosseted by wings
of a fan, blowing
away the neonatal blanket.
lest we forget angels
just out of reach,
palms up,
waiting for baby steps.
down on your knees,

To Subhashinidevi

Due to thy grand opening
Now poets are mushrooming
Till now ten poets have got
The reward after much sought 
Such is thy unique entry
In NASA Contest of Poetry
But yesterday I missed thy cheering
Of the pretty poets...

Nurse for Better Or Worse

Had married my wife for better or worse.
And she ended up becoming a nurse;
Not only that became an Registered RN;
On general floor is where she did begin.

With others her each ability...

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit NICU

Are things at times we may be laughing
But never, ever will one be under-staffing
With fewer nurses who were often needed
Assist along a birth that could be impeded.

Then there was the time...

Things we can compile
Depending on poem's each style
But it might beguile.

Were never right type
Like yippy dog which would yipe
Hard had been my hype.

Don't want things fatal
All about neonatal
And baby cradle.

Love should be like mine;
Always good...

stars gleamed naked, then hid in a half-light.
Between the glimmer, night ran as if hunted.
No one thought this a good sign.
No one blessed...
