No



Don't be ruthless in communication
be it written or verbal, teacher told,
never say 'no' as wise people have told.
Feel the impact in brain with negation.

A 'No' word releases dozens of stress
producing chemicals in brain forthwith
interrupt normal brain functioning with
impairing logic, reason; complete mess.

Yet, we fail to control ‘No’ word, knowing
its curse in brain function; negatively
thinking puts in worst state definitely
then with anger forces for misdoing.

When one decides to think positively,
can turn their lives around competently.

Achievement



Never to undermine your own power.
Negative thoughts always upset feeling
Don't ever try to probe your past failure.
Vast capabilities for succeeding.
Needs positive attitude for working.
Decide steps to reach dream successfully
Remember to attain plan finally.
Don't expect  any external frequent
help; for your success just work truthfully,
your sincere attempts will bring achievement.

Am I Not



Have you seen ghosts?
Oh! yes so many times;
Is it? What they do?
Nothing special, just behave as you do.
Did you feel cold in their presence?
Why should I feel cold?
Never!
No, accept them as your friend;
OMG! Ghost as friend!
Why not? Am I not your friend?
That’s true, but you are not..
Who told you? Have you ever seen my shadow?
Thud ……

I Envy :: Blues Stanza


Mom will never understand, why I don't
want to go to school, there's no charm; they don't
allow dog, forces me to be  alone.

I envy you, none tells you to attend
school; for me Mom is strict I've to attend 
they put me in bus without my consent.

Don't you feel,  school time is a total waste
So many tasks to do, my time they waste
Remember how those squirrels we had chased.

Do you think, a face to face talk will stop
them to send me to school; think how to stop;
You know that frog is in box on desktop.

Even other day teacher called Mom to tell
frog in my bag croaked  twice; what's need to tell?
How I know, frog croaks in daylight as well?

Good Bye :: Triquain Crown



Don’t ever
say to someone  ‘Good bye’;
It indicates leaving, departure ….. 
that means a separation from someone too dear;
‘Good bye’ implies that you will never
see them again, it pains
to be far.


Going far……
It means chance to forget;
remaining out of sight for long may
turn to be to stay out of mind and forgetting;
But, whom we love how can we leave them
by just bidding good bye
forever.

We love our
near and dear ones, somehow
need them in lives, without their presence
feel life is somewhat dark though we know well someday
they'll leave forever, won't return
to be with us once more
yet resist.

We've feelings
wish more care to loved one;
Their presence makes us emotional;
We cry, when they leave, don't want them to be away
and wish them to stay with us more time;
May be for a lifetime;
Scream, don't go.

When I lost 
my parents, knew too well 
they won't be back to me, yet failed to
say them good bye; felt they've left me to be lonely;
A chapter of my life is over;
I've to solely face the
cruel world.

Why I Cried :: Asean Royal Flush Sonnet



Told you never run fast, be at my side
while stroll; Now, let's go and sit near lakeside.
You know school is boring; in class I cried;
Nothing to learn there. Don't have friends, they lied
always talk in their mother tongue, they snide.
Saw in dream, they're punished with a rope tied.
I'll ask Mom, if she can come, sit inside
class with me; feel alone-That's why I cried.

Yet, you see, I've to go; thinking to hide
tomorrow, next day and finally I'd
stop going school; you know, I can confide
I want to be like you, free none to guide.
Dad doesn't know through dog door freely I glide;
Yes, tomorrow through it I'll go to hide.


Note: This poem highlights the symptoms of
 Didaskaleinophobia(Fear of School Phobia)

Saga of 'Until'



Can you say, why I’ve been deprived, asked ‘Until’.
What’s the reason of putting only one ‘L’ in Until.
Ask your heart, can you give me a satisfactory reply?

Don’t feel sad, know it really pinches to lose status;
You may be aware short words are generally more
likely to have homographs than long ones.

Tell me, does it make sense, inquired ‘Until’;
Don’t you know both words ‘Till’ and ‘Until’
came from completely different sources.

Very true, in fact don’t have clear answer;
Both these words came to mean the same thing;
Yes, really wonder why spelled differently.

See, now you can observe partiality in dealing,
depriving my legitimate right of double ‘L’,
trying hard to show me equal to ‘Till’; It’s an insult.

Very well understand your feeling, you know
in historical writing where it spelled 'Untill'
but this spelling is deemed incorrect now.

Now, you have come to the point, understood
why I felt deprived and insulted; tell me
how it's decided to declare it incorrect spelling.

Agree, but you’ll be happy to know ‘Until’ is usually perceived
as slightly more formal than ‘Till’; though the word ‘Till ‘is
the older of the two words, by several hundred years.

What's Forgotten :: Philippine Sonnet


Sadly gloomy news fill one with dismay;
still old habit is hard to change and they
continue to read newspaper each day.
Thinking why negative news made their way.

Throughout the world many good things happen
but those don't get honor to be caption;
such works get backseat how could this happen;
news don't add value, makes readers sadden;

What's forgotten negative news someway
affect readers' mental health; each day
bad things happen that doesn't mean anyway
life is getting worse; surely one can't say.

To reduce the negative effects, worse
thoughts, one should limit consumption at source.

Business :: Petrarchan Sonnet


How coolly expressed inability
to continue our business relation;
simple reason to avoid frustration
at latter day feeling futility;
Now you're questioning my ability
to stay as your partner; accusation
route adopted by you for negation.
Forcing to doubt your credibility.

But, still you're dealing in a selfish way 
giving least importance to business need;
Being carried away with too much greed,
Restrain yourself, don't fall in their trap, they
will speak all good words to hide their misdeed.
Never expected I've to face this day.

Spiritual Poverty



Rejection of worldly goods has been seen
as means for spiritual growth, to lead
a life in balance with HIS will, to wean
every material thing with no greed.

It's said, the poverty of spirit freed
one to empty of self so that HE can
fill with life and love. Prayers to HIM lead
to grow each one of us in our life span.

Spiritual poverty frees one man
from anxiety about future. But
we shouldn't forget the fact, worldly "things" can
not make us rich to HIM, one can't rebut.

True satisfaction comes from HIM; Increase
in one's worth can't bring lasting inner peace.

The Spenserian Sonnet was named for Edmund Spenser 1552-1599, a 16th century English Poet.

Beyond the prerequisite for all sonnets, the elements of the Spenserian Sonnet are:
-A quatorzain made up of 3 Sicilian quatrains (4 lines alternating rhyme) and ending in a rhyming couplet
-Metric, primarily iambic pentameter.
-Rhymed, rhyme scheme ababbcbccdcdee.
-Composed with a volta (a non physical gap) or pivot (a shifting or tilting of the main line of thought) sometime after the 2nd quatrain. The epiphany is arrived at logically.
-Written with each quatrain developing a metaphor, conflict, idea or question, and the end declamatory couplet providing the resolution.
