Prancing through the fields
Golden sunrays yield;
Raindrops…
Fall from the grayed ceil,
Cloudy teardrops wield,
Pained crops…
Soon to be fulfilled,
Nourished and then tilled;
Good Marks!...

I don't realize,
how to read your eyes?
Tell me.

Is it love in guise?
Can I share with guys?
Be free.

Know views will be wise.
If yes, it'll be prize
for me.

(Lai) 


Morning is so great 
and coffee is sweet 
so good 
I can't resist it 
I have to drink it 
first thing when I 'rise 
and two cups are nice 
to have!

I, mister, I'm 
Alive, alive.
...Alive.

Cut my limbs off
Let me bleed,
Bleed.. Bleed,
Bleed the pain.
Out.

My... My Lai Masscre,
Cut my limbs off,
Screw me senseless 
screw me dead.

My Lai Masscre.
I'm alive.
My..
Lai Masscre.

Beautiful poems
they're precious like gems
they can
be in many forms
and your heart they warm
when read
rid your head of problems
beauty found in them
all said

Refresh my flowers
Lightning

Lazar show thunders
Excite molecules

Setting all in rows

Death Comes to All-Lai

Silent days face of a mere
.                                     stranger;
                                       Vancant tear
Hollow

End of life is near
Functions are not clear
SHALLOW

Breaths are numbered, dear
Ready? unsure FEAR
Must GO.......

playing in the dirt
better than dessert
fun toys
starting to exert 
sweating through my shirt
life’s joys
don’t want to get hurt
better stay alert
whoa, boys!

----------

a Lai is a pretty easy 9-liner with 5a-5a-2b-5a-5a-2b-5a-5a-2b:

The clench of the hand
when greed holds a man:
tightly.
Once not in command,
aligned with God’s plan:
lightly.

The battle of will
to hold tighter still:
nightly.
The feel of the thrill
just learning to chill:
sprightly.

----------

from Poet's Collective, a Lai, with triplets of 5a:5a:2b, 2 per stanza....

~Morning Salutations~ 
(Lai) 

Sunr'se softly soars in 
Greets all with a grin. 
Bells ring 
folks get out,go in 
the suns a tad din 
Kids sing 
making notes with pins 
Love birds sweet songs in 
hearts brings.

Sadhai sadhai Biyan uthera mo 
sapana herchu
Bholi palta feri mo uthera hijo ko 
sapana ferchu
Sabai jastai mo jitna ta khozchu
Tara kahile harchu ki bhaney kura 
kina sochchu


Aakash lai patal ma launu kasto 
lagcha
Garnu ta Kati le khozcha Tara sabai 
thakcha 
Garnu Ta sabai le sakcha
Tara garnu bhanda agadi nai yo 
soch nai bhagcha...

Patience 

If patience is a virtue
 Well then

 I take it as a lai 
 Wear it around my neck 

You can spin
 Me up 

 And push me down 
but I am not ready for that this time 


For the fact that
 I have given more 

And you have not 
Taken less 

 Again you can
 Knock me off

On the ground 
But that’s would be 

 Your last mistake 
Oh, my dear patience...

Words I cannot say-
within ricochet
ugly scenes replay
Distress!

Words I cannot say-
heavy stowaways
within spirit weigh
Depress.

Words I cannot say-
shades of yesterday
games I used to play
Regress...

Words I cannot say-
sins of youth repay
bars of iron gray
Oppress!

Words I cannot say-
inner self betray
secrets on display
(Undress.)
