The Forgotten Bards: Song of the Classical Minstrels

...
Forever extinct seems the age of classical poetry,
With all its cheers from caves, cottages, marble domes and temples,

When now a country honors not classical bards:
O Hugh MacDiarmid, Petrarc...

Stagnation

...In a dream, I was on a mission.
A mission to rescue a nation.
A nation in a quagmire.
A quagmire not as usual.

A high mountain, I had to climb.
Climb it, in its nakedness.
Nakedness and grass...

Grass

...I am that grass you love.
Green or yellow, I am.
Brown, sometimes, I am, and 
On me, your animals feed.

Greener, your life I make.
To make shelters, you use me,
To prettify your parks, you sh...

Such a Dry Tree

...When a tree dries  
It becomes like a plea 
Of a mannerless woman.

Roots feed and sustain 
The entire tree and branches;
And its leaves, long or short.

Such a dry tree
Stands alive while d...

God, Unbolt His Heart

...In the morning, innocent lamb left the farm 
Behind his master, moved to the meadow
A treacherous chapman loomed him
In his purity, he listened to chap’s distorted words
As sweet as honey, they l...

Farm Destroyer

...Unity and serenity, the farm had breathed,
For ages, superb it has been.
On it, Mr and Ms Farmer had lived blissfully.

Harmony, children had witnessed
Before a hyena in a mask of a farmer, 
Th...

Woman Hides Man

...In a woman such a man hides;
Alike, He rimes better with She. 
More sense, She makes with He. 
 
Because she embeds him; 
He always consults she,
To produce clear sound; 
And engender one grea...

Value of Shadow

...No shadow you can expect;
Awful, the day has been.
Some did not like it at all;
Everyone was feeling upset.

No shadow to see nowhere;
For the morning, the sun aborted.
Cracks in the wall, vac...

A Hyena At Home

...For ages, I used to rear my goats serenely;
Before I invited Mr. Hyena at home.
Green prairie my goats adored around the home.

Peace, the rustics relished too;
But an intolerable mistake I made...

I Am Tired

...I am tired of summer.
Loose outside, summer leaves me. 
Outside and indoor I sweat like a fish.
I cannot wait when winter comes.
 
Winter knocks at my door,
And my windows tight I bolt.
Doors ...

Shy To Spy

...The day had started to die 
At the sea, I thought no one to see 
Very embarrassed, I felt in my eye

Dark glasses I wore to slide my ashamed paces
While I goggled at them for hours
Why I made n...

Carry Your Candle Today

...Our world is enduring suffering.
Suffering countries are living in coldness.
Coldness is killing those sitting in darkness.

Today, light your candle and run;
Run with it in all corners of the v...

The Morning and the Evening

...The morning has been a lot gorgeous.
As a gift, the sun we get with no price;
With no fear, lizards and monkeys sunbathe.

Such good weather invigorates natural life.
Gathering creatures at the ...

Death of Mighty Cat

...Full of mice was the house,
As was my head, full of lice as well.
On those mice, daily the mighty cat fed;
Like pets, behaved the mice.

A mouse here, the massive cat has seen.
On it to heavily...

Together, We Can

...Together, we can push  mountains;
And move them to the sea for everyone to see.
We can plow, sow, harvest, and eat together.

Together, we can shun disunion to scatter peace;
Sow amity in hearts...
