Visiting Sunnyside

Ichabod Crane sprang from the brain
Of someone most deserving
Of Sunnyside, his proud domain.
His name? Washington Irving.

He also wrote a tale of note
About one Rip Van Winkle
Who found a sleeping antidote
To shoo away each wrinkle.

His home, intact, you can, in fact,
Both tour and pay a visit.
The costumed guide will not distract
From landscape most exquisite.

With river view, we wandered through
The rooms that Irving favored
And sampled life the way he knew
When simple joys were savored.

A worthwhile trip and here’s a tip – 
Before you go farewelling,
The gift shop’s one you shouldn’t skip – 
Cool souvenirs they’re selling!

Premium Member The Fall Alouette

The hammock invites
Fantasy of flight.
Not now though, small boy in tow
"Grangee, watch me play
I'll dump fresh mowed hay,"
His imagination grows

Cat and dog take place
At my sides in space.
Hammock starts to slip and slide.
Scat cat; shoo away 
dog before doomsday.
Zip, flip onto the floor bruised pride

I fell out of the hammock yesterday
my head hit the wall with a very
hard blow..I am having headaches
and neck pain as well as low spinal
problems since the fall.."Pride goeth
before destruction and a haughty
spirit before a fall" Proverbs 16:18..
I wonder what God wants me to learn..

Moments For Blooming 1 - 5

1	
the goose is putting signature
on the plume detaching from its tail

the queue is overflowed with crowd

groping in the memory of the gathering people 
so many safety pins and cello-tapes
are found  

on the shoulders of some wayfarers
there is the stammering cold

2.
the body-language of the moon
is being so changed 

the enthusiastic may test

blood came down 
when the tap is on

and sweat

now birds from siberia
are flowing in through the disc antenna 

the dravidian air is ever changing

now none can get ruined
following all the grammar 

3.	
the sole hunger of the winter 
is being noted down in the note book 
covered with human-skin 

the clouds of the summer and the rainy season 
are salivating 

the garrulous spiders are detaching the shells 
of the dead deer and putting the gardens in the iron-chest 

throwing dry leaves to shoo away the coke 
oh, the sleeveless palms 
are all the new girl-friends ok 

4.	
putting on the rain-coat to save the skin 
or it’s an armour
is your body safe 
fireworks are twinkling 
piercing 
the fire-brigade has gone to a joyful journey with the clouds 
admit the charisma of the bathroom 
you the adult buffalo 
don’t forget to tell
the experienced cormorants have  flown in from the marshland 

5.	
diving in search of kisses 
I saw all are stings 
even the wicker tray with the articles of ceremonial reception  
can’t escape bite 
would you be clean 
oh engrossed abir 
so many flakes of snow on the branches of the guava tree 
the festival is in your teeth  also
tame your blood 
don’t submerge the river into the waves
and there is the sky 
beg a rail

Hollywood Starlet

Your ship will sink and your star will fall
So you'd better be prepared
I hope you're well seated when you hit that wall
And the spotlight dims its glare
You step from your car like a debutante
You have everything you could ever want
Have you stopped to consider the ones you snub
Are the ones that have put you there?
The diamond bracelet on your wrist
That accentuates your tan
Rakes the rocks across your skin
As you "shoo" away your fans
You've got more wealth than you could ever spend
But ya don't seem to have it when ya hear from a friend
And ya "won't be signing any autographs"
At the festival de Cannes
You must be aware that you're gettin' old
And ya bore the paparazzi (or so I'm told)
It's a pity your grace can't act for you
As well as your ego can.

Premium Member A Sudden Downpour

Rain beats down on the window pane
As the flood gates of Heaven suddenly open
It is pouring out in torrential flow
Like a Reservoir, all at once broken

It has come down as a welcome respite
To fan away the humid sweltering heat
It falls in drops and flows in rivulets
Washing the dust of summer drought

With a sudden burst from the weight laden clouds
It lashes down in steam and fury
Plummeting to form ripples in puddles
And filling pools and ponds in hurry

In slanting sheets, it almost pounds
Flooding roads and making puddle
Gushing through pipes and rushing down drains
Water floods, causing men to waddle

Rain has its abode in heavens so high
And hides behind clouds of mournful gloom
In silver strings, it spans the Earth 
And cleanses the plants in resplendent gleam

Sudden is the wind, coming to shoo away the clouds
And the sky is once more cerulean blue
As the music stops and the humdrum stills
The water seeps, giving no evident clue.

After an angry couple’s furious fight,
 As the house goes back to an uncanny calm,
The rain has vanished, leaving little trace
Cooling the Earth and causing no harm
