The Orator

After a tepid greeting

A hush fell over the crowd

And as they took their seating

I spoke of my deeds so proud

On this stage I'd now embark

No teller of feeble lies

With a glance I saw the spark

And the wonder in their eyes 

So with a smile on my face

I just boldly clamored on

And soon all over the

Guess Who


15 October 1931 was his date of birth,
He is a man of infinite worth. 
Rameshwaram was his birthplace,	
Poverty was a villain in his case.							
						
A very down-to-earth man;	
As a paper boy, his life, he began.
He was a hardworking student;
And was always very prudent.

A low-cost coronary stent,
Along with a cardiologist, he did invent.								
As a ‘Missile Man’ he

Stage Fright and Solution

Do speakers sound articulate, 
For ideas they’d freshly conceived 
From the faintest flash just received?
Does pumped blood not circulate fast,
The steadied nerves later not last?

Rather a weak insulation 
Of a feared circumlocution,
Left ajar a stammering door
Begging for Great Orator’s jaw!
Its not helped by physical might 
What is a psychology’s fight 
Great panic and its twin

Greek Orator Demosthenes

Demosthenes was 'de most' famous of orators in ancient Greece!

His "Philippics" attacking King Philip of Macedonia is considered a masterpiece!

History recorded this and many other of his incisive orations,

For which he received well-deserved thunderous 'ovulations'!

(Written with considerable tongue in cheek!)

Boy Dancer and His Orator Girlfriend--

Boy dancer shudders at his reciting girlfriend,
He wants to leave but she wants the front end;

All his life he's dreamed to be a dancin' machine,
Two-foot spinning, twirling, whirling fiend ;

Girlfriend speaks she's a tremendous orator;
She stands before the audience a skilled presenter; 

Boy dancer shudders at his reciting girlfriend;
Stops abruptly standstills to listen;

For you see the

The Orator

I had three poems
- Short ones-
And was told where to stand
To read them
My time was limited
Only time to read the bare words
No time for introductions,
Side stories,
Or explanations

“Just read the poems”

So I did
My elocution was perfect:
Clear, and to the point
I left the stage
To a silent reception

Because no one knows
Who I am

My Poetry Defines Me

Shower of autumn leaves and acorns,
And rustling sound as I stroll.
Those mesmerising bubbles all-round,
As I dive in the pool.
And also, when, looking into his eyes,
Silently, I can walk thousand miles.

Yes! This is the poetry to me.
The power to see the unseen!

A lady dressed in pink, in my sight.
With complementing accessory soaked in glittery white.
And my

Elevator Orator

He's the type for whom it's an instructive
     display of authority
to talk loudly in a crowded elevator
     with impunity;

whether or not those around fume or explode
     in quiet violence,
he neither wants to know nor cares, doesn't
     make a hill

The Noonday Orator

In a Sunday wintry air
The pigeons, the sparrows 
And the mocking birds 

Without array 
Congregated themselves 
Outside the family house
 
Listening, intently 
To the noonday oration 
Of Her Majesty, the Queen

Whilst I, I quickly picked
The various colors and shapes 
Of myself, my dignity

Shortly thereafter
She, fumingly, dropped them off
Through the guiltless window
