gush of emotion
pent up feelings
burst forth as release
recalibrated midway
by spherical vision
auto correcting
our direction
by grace

Spring enters like
a welcome maid in a dirty
room, cleaning all of Winters mess
and correcting Fall for putting him up to it,
spreading her beauty and love, leaving her
fresh scents & perfect memories...

Artists have great roles.
Correcting what is wrong.
Checking what is false.
And advocating for what is right.
Not instigators of conflicts.
Not as well crafter of falsehoods.
I love you, artist.

Ten minutes of solitary free time
at the end of class, they’re correcting their tests
I have nothing to correct
Oh! Dream of physics!
Oh! Dream of astronomy!
Oh! Dream of Chinese thought!
Oh! Dream of writing!
Oh! Dream of love!...

God I constantly do wrong things
Think the wrong thoughts
Wrong ways
When am I ever going to be mistake proof?
You are going to be so busy with me
So be warned
I just don’t know why I keep thinking the wrong thing
Wrong way of every subject that there is
And you keep correcting me
Aren’t you getting tired God?...

Besides competitions;
Besides being "liked"
or my poems getting comments,
I want to become a better
poet each day by reading other
people's poems,
and correcting mistakes my fellow poets
see in my work.
Poetry Soup is also a virtual family-
it is another home for me;
my mind is at rest in this site.......

sinful acts committing 
shallow desires feeding 
stupor bliss throb stifling
seeds ego spawned spewing
soiled thoughts heart contracting 
stance needing correcting
soul requiring cleansing

Mother
                              Selfless, irreplaceable
                        Loving, correcting, sacrificing
                   Best friend, adviser, ally, confidante
                   Understanding, helping, supporting
                               Special, trustworthy
                                          Friend...

I  see
Your fall
Instead of
Picking up
I brush you off
But allow
To take
A try
Again.

I see
Your mistakes
Instead of
Correcting
I let you
To find
Your own way
Though silently
I drink
Poisonous pain


I see you cry
Instead of
Wiping out
I let you
To shed tears
To wash
The dart
Accumulated
Long
Inside
To see
The things
Clean and afresh....

She was supposed to be the office underdog.
She had less experience than the rest of us.
Less credentials than the mail opener.
No one told her she was not supposed to come in 
acting like the overdog.
She strutted, bragged, barked, demanded.
Correcting the rest of us.
Showing off knowledge that was minimal.
She did not last the week....

Once again, here we are celebrating
Fathers through out the globe
With a cheer, with a smile
Thank you, dad, for being my guide
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for supporting me 
Thank you for tolerating my flings
Thank you for correcting my wrongs
Thank you for staying strong
Thank you for being around
Dad you are special to me....

I guess, next to actual
transfiguration, writing
is closest I will ever come
to sainthood.  Not that 
everything about me
needs correcting, the 
old nun would scold me
with a suspicious smile – 
for more than once I saw 
her sneak a candy from her
top desk-draw, just before 
lunch, and the Sacrament
of Grace...

I forgave her
with a smile.......

heartbreaks 
soul aches 
they teach us
impermanence 
thereby correcting
our orientation 
to be void centric
moment by moment
breath by breath
embracing and releasing
the rising and subsiding
of waves of emotion
as they ebb and flow
that we finally get to 
vibrant nonchalance 
in a mood celebratory 
flowing through life
leaving no residue

You sing to me
another day
To keep me from going 
the wrong way
I've trusted in you
for many years
My love is strong
through all the tears
Even though 
We're far apart
I hold you dear 
to my heart
You see me as 
your Angel of Light
As life moves forward
correcting wrong to right
An eternal love 
to have for each other
Soon I pray to be 
with one another...

Building things together is the best way to make changes,
Having partners every step of the way makes things possible,
Working together we can help transform,
Make thorough dramatic changes,
Where changes are needed,
We can accelerate, move more quickly,
Correcting unfairness,
Better understanding build-time,
And creates a better future,
Together we stand, divided we fall....

Toot, toot goes the train.
Jump, jump goes the brain.
Moved to a new house.
Old one had a mouse.
Sometimes change is good.

It's all the same!
Play the sleep game!
INSOMNIAC!
INSOMNIAC!

I can't sleep!
I can't sleep!
SLEEPLESSLY!

Passed out!
Passed out! 

DREAM!!!


This is a Dimished Hexaverse, thank you Dr. Ram Mehta for correcting me. This is a fun type of poetry....

Summer evening   
The day is gone
Darkness is moving in
My day
Correcting poem
Writing new ones is over
Time for TV.
I have read the news
Not uplifting
Seeing Trump
The elected dictator
Triumphant boasts.
Why are the Americans
So stupid
Can he not see
He s shyster
Dragging you into
A new war
Marching happily 
Into war for his benefit
Thousand of your soldiers 
Die painfully
For his honour...
