Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
The cloud looked down in silent shame -
'Oh! What do I do? My lighting kills!'
The strong winds blew it to pastures green -
'O Look down now - your rainfall heals!'

Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
Looking for a bittersweet beginning of the end,
Walking on and on straight round a bend -
I came upon a genius (so crazy),
Scrolling clearly confused with focus (so hazy)
Staring at his In-mail that he couldn't send!
Composed: 23rd August, 2026

Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
Is Gold, Nature's favourite hue -
For new beginnings, and transitions too?
The gold of the sun - upon each new morn
And gold again - when the day is gone.
The flash of gold - before the green
In each new leaf-bud - barely seen.
Green turns gold - under autumn skies
Heralding leaf-fall before our eyes.
Little wonder then, that we turn to gold
To symbolize new beginnings - since days of old!

Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
No one has ever come here to stay -
Be it a flower's bloom for a day,
A few weeks of a butterfly's beauty,
Or years of man's endless duty.
So, let go - let go -
Why this trife?
All is washed away
On the seashore of life.
What will remain
Is the wave-washed sand -
Awaiting new footprints
Freshly to land.

Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
I looked at you in tender love -
A tender shoot rising up from the ground,
Your new leaves radiant in the morning sun,
Freshly washed by the raindrops around.
A Banyan doesn't grow in a day, they say -
Challenging Mother Earth to give it her all
To raise this colossus of the forest green
That, for aeons to come, shall be standing tall.
A veritable king holding forests together
With majestic roots - above and below the ground,
The mighty trunk - nurturing and shelterimg
Every life-form all around.
I look at you again in over-awed silence -
Envisioning the great future that has begun!
The tremendous potential of that tender shoot
Its new leaves radiant in the morning sun.

When nearing the end of your toilet roll -
Apprehension of the unknown takes its toll.
Turn back to Nature for some respite,
For inspiration on what is right -
To calm your mind and free your soul.

The newest model has in-built AI -
My scientific mind suspects a lie.
Estimating all wash-loads -
Exact water for my clothes!
Just a clever sensor - to fool the eye!

"You hold Eternity in your hand!"
Boomed the ocean to the shore.
"For, in every grain of sand -
Is Earth's history for evermore! "

Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
A blade of grass - trod upon and dejected
Looked wistfully at the beauty around -
'Why am I so ordinary?' he sighed,
'The humblest creation ever to be found!'
Then came magical autumn with her dewdrops galore!
One dropped on him like a diamond rare -
And, lit up with fire in the rising moon
In that moment of beauty - none else could compare!

Sushmita Chatterjee Poem
An old Professor of Mathematics,
Strict and immune to his students' antics -
Taught estimations - crisp and clear
Misjudged the distance of his chair
Fell down hard and needed walking sticks!
