Quote: “You don’t scare me. I have triplets.” — Anonymous
Wait Bigfoot Wait
My kids are in bed
They might be dreaming
I’ll wake them up gently
Getting them afresh I
hurry to cook pies in plenty
Wait Bigfoot Wait
I run around kitchen to
Fetch creamy custard
Serve them with kiss
A joy to see them gobble
All alike in bliss
Wait Bigfoot Wait
I run to the window
Get the dried clothes
Dress them up great
To take them to school
Never once late
Wait Bigfoot Wait
…………………..
It’s ok, it’s ok, you
A mother of three
You be busy, I love
Your kids, cute and rare
I’ll go away at once
You take care.
This is a revised version of one of my previous poems on 'Friends'.
Friends are like gems precious,
rare to find, pure and gracious;
Friends are like butterflies charming,
cheerily fluttering in the garden of our lives,
persuading us to positive perceptions,
with their wings of hope gleaming;
Friends are like glossy stars, steady and bright,
embossed perfectly with their yellow-white,
to the dreary dark velvet of our minds,
adorning them with eternal sparkles of light,
inspiring with their deep insights,
each one unique of it's kind;
Friends are like the filled pages
of the year-end autograph book,
filling our minds with myriads of memories,
as its letters of teen fragments eagerly you look -
a glow of warmth reflecting in your smile;
Friends are like the poetic picture prompts,
waking up our slumbering souls
with creative instincts anew,
to pen fresh verses on 'Life'.

Purpose prompts prize
String subtle spice
Picture prompts poise
Vouch vibrant voice
Craft cheery charm
Apt ample arms
Dry distant dance
Claim clever chance
Words wrestle well
Dress dreamy dwell
Taste telling tale
Script succinct sale
Mind moves matter
Feel forms fatter
Rich rapture rhymes
Thrill tasty times
Ink icy ire
Frame furious fire
