Mother Nature ReconsidersMother Nature gazed happily on her brood,
until one of them spoiled her mood.
Her smartest monkey was on the take -
"Could it be that I made a mistake?"...

my mother thought me poetry unfortunately, fortunatelywith less words
risen are the river's current
melody in minnow's swimming
hollow that's able to hallow
climax of a cliche film
xerophile for desert's scene...

Mama Hikudown on the floor
hands and feet would lift me ~
i was a plane
blew up balloons
she made me animals ~
i was dazzled
taught me stitches
loved skilled embroidery ~
i was craft sown
drew paper dolls
sketched with clothes to cut out ~
i was prized fun
read tales aloud
fueled my fantasies ~
i was book hooked
spent time with me
shared skills and joys with...

Red Herring
As a young boy
when not very old
I did enjoy
being told
grisly bedtime stories
by my Mother
the favourite was
none other
than
altho' I was just a nipper

ECHOES PIERCE THE SILENCEECHOES PIERCE THE SILENCE*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I open the sewing basket, letting my eyes and hands run over the tools she had used—the scissors, the darning egg, the pinking shears, the pins, the tattered, tomato-shaped pincushion, and spools of thread. I gaze at the metal spool-shaped bobbins remembering how, as a small child, I flushed them down...

Sleep Well MamaMama, why is it that you can't sleep well?
Do you have insomnia coming on?
What's keeping you up even though you're tired?
Your husband who watches television half the day,
Your adult child who is packing up and moving away,
Your young hyperactive child who likes to play, play, play,
The ever present clutter all throughout the house,
You set up...

Momma's DittySometimes
alone
I've sat,
And thought
about
just this
and that
Today
I thought
about
someone,
Who floods
my eyes
with tears
I know
you know
It's you
Mother,
I've missed
you all
these years...

Wife and MotherI feel too overwhelmed.
I feel like a thousand hands have touched me.
I can't give anymore.
Is it the lack of privacy?
Is it the constant need of nurturing?
My mind is screaming.
Stop touching me.
Stop talking to me.
My body, mind, and soul are overwhelmed.
Everyone wants something from me.
Everyone wants my attention...

Brown EyesReminiscent of a doe
with a hue as rich as earth,
your gaze takes me home
to a cedar-filled hearth.
Welcoming like hot chocolate
and as vibrant as autumn's leaves,
your stare carries the life
that Mother Nature herself weaves.
Neutral, yet expressive—
as versatile as leather, but still so alive—
your eyes are the gemstones
favored by the sun and I alike....

Ways of Providence“The only real influence I've ever had was over myself.”
The Artist Edward Hopper ( Re: Altering or creating Providence.)
Assuming there are more brilliant ways,
That our life takes twists and turns like a maze,
Yet do we have influence over unforeseen plans,
For our future and the way it evolves and spans ?
I believe that our...

The Precious JewelsHow she loved diamonds, her birthstone.
Literally diamonds were her best friends.
She worked very hard and each piece
of jewelry she bought made her happy.

and sapphires with diamonds set in precious
metals of gold or...

Weathered Hands Are Beautiful
This scene occurred just days before she died.
Somehow I made it through before I cried.
While pale and weak, eyes closed, in bed she lay,
I thought of all the things I longed to say.
I whispered “Beautiful" and kissed each hand.
Confused, Mom said, "What? I don’t understand.”
“Your HANDS,” I said. She answered, “They’re worn out
and wrinkled. That’s...

Tiranga in the SkyTiranga in the Sky
By Amanah Imtiaz Kazi 8F
I see you, India bold and bright,
In every spark of morning light.
Not just in books or words we say,
But in our hearts, you live each day.
You're more than stories we were told,
Of battles fought and courage bold.
You rise with dreams in every face,
With every fight for truth and...
