If seeing is believing
then determining global warming
over the last umpteen years
  is a simple matter of

Tiny Twinkles

I searched for stars 
on a cloudy night...
Absence of stars
provoked my pain...
umpteen firefly
amazed me with 
their tiny twinkles;
Telling me with 
their silent lights,
" I am not a star
but I can replace their lights".

Premium Member Celtic Daydream


There was an old man who marched in Dublin,
danced to malachite past, wore shammocks lean.
            Guinness stout in clinking glass
            he drank whole night en masse.
Through the day he dreamed Celtic dreams umpteen.

Mad March Hares

The boxing, leaping mad March hares
That chase and dash in umpteen pairs,
That tear through fields, and hare up hills - 
All jealous Jacks, or Jacks and Jills
(The femme fatales, the luckless beaus)?
But are they crazy? No one knows…

June birds 
Umpteen wings
Notes from the blue
Endless flight
Tweeting palms
Equine response
Emerging windows
Nuclear sparks
Thermal flowers
Harvesting season

Premium Member Enough Already

If I turn on the TV news, they’re talking about Trump
If I go to my computer, umpteen pictures of the Dumpf
If I go to a party everyone’s talking about the Donald
I am sick and tired of being Donald Trump pummeled!

Premium Member Utopia

Under dim sky of doubt
umpteen times I’ve wondered,
unkind world would ever
usher in empathy. 
Utopian thought this,
unless the base instincts
usurp us forever.

To My Mommee

Please write leisurely 
I read it eagerly

Bilogical mom's sketch character

Full of delight

It will make my evening
So I rock next morning

Having moms twain
Is a matter of luck umpteen

Ever grateful to thee
For bestowing me glee..!!

Vulnerability, thy calm.
Mirror! you are my soothing balm.
You soak my umpteen drops of tears,

World Cruise

We like to respond to
Oysters on sea beaches
Rustling branches in the wood
Love the tall birches
Dews drop as she blushes

Cucumbers smile on thatch
Roses call from your pots
Umpteen snails roam 
Inquiringly on moist spots
Sands sparkle at riverside
Elegant horses we ride

Singing

Singing is my hobby
For it boosts me
When I am in distress
It gives me a great bliss
One can sing while at work
And cycling gives a kick
When one sings and pedals
Crosses all the hurdles
Kills my solitude 
Builds up my attitude
I love singing
For it keeps bringing
Energy umpteen
Day becomes a sheen..!

Kidhood Kinship

The kidhood friends duo in action
Ignited my poetic passion
With twin torrents of hair in pic
Bestows me the joy cascadic
What a way to appear on screen
Well, it's enlightened me umpteen
Inspiring is the bond unique
Between these belles prolific
A wish gushes from heart mine
May their kinship be intact and fine..!!

From Trial To Triumph

In the days of his trials
When the dreaded meals
Turned to be his delightsome delicacies.

In the days of his trials
When the umpteen labours
Brought in peanut pays.

In the days of his trials
When night rains
turned to be night ruins.

But in the days of his triumphs
The testimony of his treasures
Tickles many ears.

Still Together

Your hazel eyes I still remember,
your unuttered vox I still discover,
The dew of breeze says umpteen words,
With a stone's throw we are still together...

In the eve of rain we still have pleasure,
In the tears of clouds have still treasure,
The sorrows of sea are always hurts,
In the flow of winds we are still together...

Dance dazzling dream,
Imprint intent;
Sense sacred scheme,
Choice charms content;
Etch each export,
Reveal right reach;
Nurture nice nought.
Oblige outreach,
Urge umpteen use;
Rapture rooms right.
Feed flaming fuse,
Ask apt alight;
Time trades true thief,
Exploits each eve.

Sweet secret solace strange
Rich ripples reaping range


Moist misty mellow mind
Feed feisty fragrant finds


Nice noisy nimble near
Spread succinct sanguine spear


Use umpteen ugly urge
Prize picky playful purge


Lift lazy luring lease

Sliver the Soul 





Had it been easy to construe meaning of life,
Logical mind would stop digging and being keen,
No fear of death could put an end to all strife,
As we unveil treasures of nature umpteen,
Sliver half the soul that doesn't believe in unseen.

Premium Member Meltdown

Absolutely contented people,
Banking collapse in America,
Dropped like a bullock, lay like a block,
Lost to meltdown.

Umpteen colossal buildings,
Symbol and homage to science,
Devastating earthquake , tumbled down,
Lost to meltdown .

Avid bewildered desires,
Rising high with a dash but going adrift,
Bemused their zing to malady prostration,
Lost to meltdown.

Premium Member Death By Oppenheimer


For knowledge and wisdom, I glean
     geometry, physics, science,
philosophy, and tomes umpteen!
     In search of shrewd intelligence,
I forsake college's campus scene;
     and pursue rhyme's magnificence,

spinning lines on the wheel and loom,
     and threaded weave, of the rhymer
than idle in a dull classroom
     (wishing for death by Oppenheimer).
