Premium Member In Grateful Appreciation

Yesterday before I went up to bed
I noticed an email that I hadn't read
It was from Soup thanking me
For sending them the PM fee
It must be a mistake or so I thought
They sent me something that I haven’t bought
I thought about what I would say 
And email them the very next day
I told a friend what the email said
And read her response before going to bed
She said that she was happy for me
You've had a gift; someone’s paid your fee
Whoever you are you've made my day
I’m lost for words don’t know what to say
Your very kind and generous act 
Will stay with me and that’s a fact.

Thank you.

Premium Member Friendship's Gifts

Christmas nears, I am gone but Yasmin fills my mind
in old Bombay she sits and writes to aged dames like I.
So far away, all we have is words to bring us near,
so often times I hear a ring, and her voice loud and clear.
I know what she wants from me and it's something I can give
friendship, loyalty and companionship and nothing to forgive.

Now, neither Yasmin, nor my dear Kash are Christians, nor am I,
but still, at this time of year, the gifts of open heart ally.
And, I know of wisdom, of learning and of love, I share,
hoping Kash accepts the gifts, and waylays all his cares.

To Chas, now I have no need to give him worldly things
for he has his wife, his Carolyn, and their loving hearts sing.
Yet, I would give them days and nights a house, and home, needs be
if they had need, if they wanted for a step-daughter.. me. 

For my little sis, for my Dee, our mischievous Cyndi,
I give her books with pages blank, for her and Verity.
My gift to her and Verity is the space to bloom to grow
unfettered by conventions, transformation to undergo.

Last, my Vie, to her I'd send a picture of my wrinkled smile
and know she'd sit, stare and think "Perhaps, I'll see her in a while."
She'd ring her chimes, and I'd ring mine, and continents would merge
for friendships such as ours, take patience and pathos to emerge.

Video Games

Video games are popular I admit
                    People of different age level played it
          It’s an interesting game that everybody love
But not for me, I feel so sad

I know it’s an enjoyable pastime
          You can forget you problems for awhile
                    But there are many disadvantages if you can see
                              Especially my students who are lazy to study

                              Their parents think they are in school
                    But they make them think like a fool
          The money given for their everyday allowances
They spent it at the internet cafe and forgot their studies

Here comes the issuance of the report card
          The parents saw the grades and became mad
                    The students blamed the exam because it’s so hard
                              Just to hide the fact that video games make them bad

                              For me it can promote violence for the young
                    All I wish are the family members act like a guardian
          They can play video games as much as they can
As long as they will promise to be a responsible daughter and son

Premium Member My Joys

A day away from work comes only once
A day away from hurdles which makes me pounce
Such a day, blissful, is spent by being ecstatic
Such a day makes me amnesic!

A day given to my art, known as writing
Once or twice a month, it is what keeps me breathing
A day spent with my dreams in weaving,
Best comes the time of penning!

A day also dedicated to the Muses
They know best how to tend bruises
Pain gives way to relief 
As feels the bandit in his mischief!

A whole day filled with writing verses
Such a day makes me the sole chief
Accompanying me are all the universes
Such goes my joy in brief!

Premium Member Someone Listen

“Zoloft.” was someone’s loud, quick answer.	
“Yasmin.” I heard, spoke by another.  Huh?		
“Xanax.” Was then offered.						

	While these people shouted, I stared, perplexed.	

“Valium, is inside my pocketbook,							
Unisom, too.  It’s up to you.” said some voice.				

	”Thank you,” I began, “you are all dear,			
	Seems though, I have not been clear.				
	Really, all I want and need ….”				

“Quick dissolving antacid is here, amid						
Percocet in the drawer, in my desk,						
Oxycotin, too.  What bothers you?” again, someone interrupted me.				

	”Now that you ask,” I started to reply, “my only request,
	Made just moments ago …”

“Lexapro, is in my bag.” Another spoke,  					
“Keep it with you all day, see if you’re okay.  					
Just know at work you can’t rest – it’s no joke.  					
It will tire a person in no time flat.” She went on, 					
“Happens fast, you will feel sleepy once you digest.”					

	”Gosh guys,” I felt mad, “this is like combat.			
	For goodness sake, do stop speaking out.			
	Everyone, hear my question, don’t make me shout,		
	Did any of you in this office						
	Consider that all I wish to 
	Borrow is a simple, genuine
	Aspirin?  Well, maybe two.”

Premium Member Fire and Ice

` ` ` 

on fire …
with a silken face bouncing gently
in the bath of combed sunlight, her eyes open
like a newborn rose sprinkled by drips
of honeyed laughter;  the sheer mist floats
into a world where robins wing around her feet,
as if to chase a meadow filled with morning
coffee scent… and she feels the natural  brightness
of people humming violin tunes inside her head;
how she loves with arms knitting tender flames ,
a slow fire in the rush of breaths flowing in cool
breeze:  lungs floating  in and out between
the piety of her bones…she rambles along
greeting everyone she meets with a soft smile.


fire on ice…
she taste the tears of  both wrath and liberation,
flowing down the sunken river in a hazy blur;
until she hears a voice,” rock –a-bye, baby girl”
silencing herself, unaware of her twin lives,
for her eyes cannot see the difference
between another time, another place
where elements of fire and ice cannot blend.

Letting Your Hair Down

Letting Your Hair Down


Looking to sit back and enjoy the day
Aiming for the patio table, our little get away

Kick off the shoes and sit with the family
Share todays news and laughing happily

And you know we have to have that ice cold beer
Best way to chill out over here

The neighbors wave and sometimes sit to chat
Our home is like a big welcome mat

Before you know it, here comes out the barbecue pit 
The more the better, I must admit

Home is where you can just relax and do nothing
Its when best memories are made and lots of good loving

Doesn't cost nothing to just enjoy and rest
This is when we are the happiest

Let your hair down and take a little time
Do this often and learn to unwind

Premium Member Alphabet Soup

Alphabet soup served piping hot
                            
                              In your bowl ladle up the lot 

A Poet Destroyer stirs up the soup  

         While A Nathan joins in the diverse group with his works

Michael Ainsley joins the conglomerate 
                            
                                 with his poetic alphabetic tricks

Who in the bowl floats up next

        Daver Austin a music whiz laying out stanzas quite appetizing

Which letter would I like to see now
  
                 Maybe some who have come and gone quite recently

Therese Bacha who pours out her soul

                               Poems written with passion and emotion into the bowl

James Fraser whose romantic and passionate lines

          Filled the bowl with affairs of the heart

Now they've gone missing from the soup pot

Time to regret in life

Not so done for brotherhood’s good,
Charity nor for truth you’ve stood,
The day you fuss, your failure fret,
That be the time ought ye regret.
_________________________   
Translation |12.09.2024|life, truth, charity, brotherhood 

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhaashhitam. This one is taken from my selection of translations. One regrets so many things that he need not. Yet, there are but a few things that he should really regret if not accomplished. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:

hitam na kinchit  vihitam parasya,
daanam na dattam na cha satyam uktam |
yasmin dine nishfalataam prayaatah,
sah eva kaalah parikhedanasya ||
