Festivities
A whiff of cedar, strong in the air
Joyful cries as days grow near
When single a day, makes men wonder days
Moving about without delays
With sales rising to fullest in spike
As domestics cry out and plants alike
Tunes cheery, food savoury and dance happily
Yet man starts to act rather humbly
But wait, there more to this sunny side
More crimes

Winter Tidings
Midwinter - means
transparent ice walls
pressed against shrinking skin.
Dead-eyed horses are revived
only by the steam of their nostrils.
No one predicts a beginning or an end,
'mid' is a frozen idea
in an ice-locked fountain pen,
it will not write even in warm hands.
Killer clowns' shelter behind
their fixed, blood flaked grimaces,
the whites of their eyes
reflect pinpoints
of a dawning apprehension.
Roads decelerate,
creaking

GLAD TIDINGS
Dear beloved,
I bring you glad tidings
To some a hard pill to swallow
Others, its fills the hollow.
For I've seen it all
Our vows are unbreakable
We fall, but we always stand tall
The bond we share is unshakable.
Joy in marriage, blood to life
Is not something expected in life
But a mutual strive between partners
Takes responsibility

Sage Tidings
Deluged with the nostalgic era of you,
Your lush verdant scent lining
Wistful sentiments upon idle reflections
Scattered in fragments and fine dustings, as
I acquaint myself with futile intricacies—
Devoted to your unwritten absence,
Wandering in a haze of misty wastelands,
While you eternalize your presence in our
Heart of hearts and in the
Cavernous corners of our

Time's Tender Tidings
You look not your age, due time knocks...
Beauty is key to the prompt guise locks,
Off eyes gauge that seek thy real face
Value, be known to mind's pencil trace.
Aging stories are not cook up
To scare the young, but to check them up:
For young people to live the best,
Before old age takes account for rest;
Cum benefits on

Spring Tidings
Spring heralds wellness of natural glow
Creation zest birthing bud, bulb and bloom
Wondrously greeting with hope-filled hello.
Highlighting beauty of garden tableau
Designed by the Lord Who overcomes gloom
Spring heralds wellness of natural glow.
While welcoming abundant blessings’ flow
Spring birds chirp in glad symphony costume
Wondrously greeting with hope-filled hello.
Cascading crystals conquer crisis’ woe
As abundant harvests waft blessings

Month of Glad Tidings
There is beauty to be found in December snow,
drifting upon the wind, where gentle breezes blow.
A month of glad tidings; wreaths of holly and pine.
To memories, we sing farewell in 'Auld Lang Syne.'

Tidings
positivity in voice,
mannerism, mollycoddling
may bring tidings
up from down-in-the-mouth
to a weak grin
if that doesn’t work
perhaps, a little gin,
olive plops,
fizz fizz,
a little sun, a little breeze
wings flapping…
just
omitting, oblivious,
staring straight ahead
tethered
to fair-weathered feathers,
free-and-queasiness of tears
