5. Bless thy mind blossoming to the degree of all these, brimming ashore
    the fullest hymn, in the innermost shrine, pearls of wisdom and adore
    Cleanse thy impurity, bless them a glow
    Beauty, may the diva touch the unborn heavenly , beyond the creation
Awaken, prepare
for the gallant cause, intrepid
Do good to others, be active, make them sure and certain 
 Bless thy mind blossoming to the degree of all these, brimming ashore
    the fullest hymn, in the innermost shrine, pearls of wisdom and adore
reach to the souls soaring higher in the flight in assonance
to remove the impediment of the voyage
Calm and placid a reach, to beseech humbly
thine speechless impeccable trochaic
The foothill and the fragrant Jasmine, make them a humble duo
be praiseworthy, be praiseworthy
be praiseworthy
Bless thy mind blossoming to the degree of all these, brimming ashore
    the fullest hymn, in the innermost shrine, pearls of wisdom and adore

Poetry Time

     Poetry time
     Every line chimes
       Stop on a dime
       A buck for a rhyme

    What’s a meta for 
    Similes are, like, a bore
      A terzanelle’s attractive 
      Tho a villanelle’s more proactive 

    Witches vex trochaic pentameter
    Curse iambic HEXameter
       Traditionalists eschew free verse
       Blank verse is that much worse… 

    Romance, a hackneyed chore
    While humor is adored
       Satire rates high too
       Tear-jerkers ~ boo-hoo

    Poetry time
    Elbow grease and grime
      Lines sparkle and shine
      Craftsmanship sublime

My      intertwined shrine, beating eternally within a cosmic trochaic, as min
          Mystic troubadours tell tell heart, shalom, I beseech thee to stay calm, oblivion
       In articulating the orator prodigy, they too, let me down with the subtlest clue, refrain
           Serenity taken a vow, to greet the suffocating spur, speech impediment to rush , her lame
           T’was plethora a remnant efforts of lonely mourner days and nights, so long to belong
           Sonorous, I was a reverie there, of your playful churn , yours pleasant companion
This day, with you in me , you stay there,  festive to know my may
               To rejuvenate a soul sharing you and me, splashed once to say, wills met the other day!.

Ways of Wayne

Beneath the sapphire skies A love poem we dedicate To you, our secret star

Longing for your sight Our hearts beat like thunderclaps In trochaic rhythm

In every sunbeam's sway And moonlit whispers We see your painless grace

Oh, how our love swells And echoes in the world Like John Denver's songs

Your spirit does set us free Underneath a canopy of soul Two hearts in sync

And as we bloom A garden of dreams we tend In your presence, my love

We wait for you to see The beauty in our words Onomatopoeia divine

Gaze upon us now And let our secret grow No longer kept in silence

Our love, a force like sun Bathing all in warm, golden light A true secret admirationited.

The setting sun weaves a poem, blossoming unsung trochaic along the river basin

The setting sun weaves a poem, 
blossoming
unsung trochaic along the river basin 

(Nurulhuda Junction. Teesta)

Sometimes it feels quite an estranged thought to realise that living is a mundane day to day thing to sustain. The welfare causes are demanding all those intricate , subtle personal delicate feelings, into a powermonger possessive expositional ownership, for no good understood parameter. 

The book was well versed. Muzzammil was lying  on his bed, half awakened. He took his glass pairs  off. A pair of opaque spectacles, with the littlemost effort, both the bifocal parts are often sweaty. He was waiting for his wife’s special morning tea, everyday.  Remote area in the suburban side, every day newscaster is often  quote  a  belated story there.

Again and again, looking back to thee, once more,
Days and nights these foamy churns awakened, in parables, mind approached out there, rested on armrest
The verses and the divine bell, awakened on the festive zeal, with the foamy quest on a tempest
The raga-based vibes, orbiting around the tides, ecstatic zeal
From the deepest a sound diphthong, to eloquent most trochaic meandering trail, a hymn
Bhoirobi the three with the sixth, the festive fair of Ramkeli mela, Purvi, armrest, strumming along the whim
Along the foamy tempest through the golden jubilee, joyous, eloquence in ragas through vibes resides in a song, songs among
Floating through the trail of thine, intertwined mine, meandering we
Songs among these will begin a journey to nowhere, in bliss
Trochaic, greenery, forestry, serene, motherland, a yesterday belongs, in tap dance
Along the way the must and the bohemian wind and unbridled they
Tap and tap on and tuned in, around a finely attuned may.

FOOTLE the background bio

in 2009 whilst word-playing around
the trochaic monometer I then found
two lines short& sweet
terse enough to tweet
an integral title is also vital
for this recitative recital
christened it 'footle' as a memorable name
Sadly- it is my only claim to fame

FOR THE RECORD
FIRST FOOTLE Jan 2009 (Plural footles never really appealed- I prefer my original creation)

Bonnie & Clyde

too snide

both died

all day long!

The sponge was smiling back, to me, with all those arithmatics, done dishes
(a predestined setting) 
Cordial, versatile with a blatant truth, to shy from a trochaic, rythmic sounds 
The killers are a synnonym for strumming fingers, almost an ensuing song
Although, an earnest rush felt reckless for a neckless tie, almost all day long!

The Yellowstone and prayer bids, sung high, from windowpane, a golden, rich
The twilight icebreaker, a melting sun, o'er all those or these, yet to preach
Sudden depth of random droplet clouds, an earnest, already trying too, along
(journey back to home, alone) 
with a rusty indifference, assuming shining countertop, sporadic, all day long!

A long gone cozy knit, with a brief, tightly fit 
A tea set, already to reign 
to wrap all these, altogether, to a duo,  misfit 
there, then, start again!

FOOTLE the TROCHAIC verse

Hobo

no bread

in shed

By the Sea

Soaring seagulls flying free
Evening waves come forth, then flee
All these sounds wash over me
