The Life of a Proletarian (published in www.poetrysoup.com in Feb,2007)

 The Life of a Proletarian

Beneath the green dense jungle, he stands pall,

The heated rays touching him seem to have awl.

Facing dreadful animals and insects, he fumbles

Path is lost in shrubs and bushes he often rambles

Having empty stomach, a thirsty throat and an axe

He applies all his muscles to a timber and hacks.

Miserably vestured, not having anything sufficient,

He’s born with the misfortune of being indigent.

Impecuniosities are inherited to him by his ancestors

And he will delegate the same to his youngsters.

For availing each of basic needs he has to strive

This is the way how a wood cutter does survive.

Hoping for a ray of miracle which can enlighten,

He quetches why has he got a life of a proletarian

A Moonless Summer Night In My Village

A Moonless Summer Night In My Village

Lights of the thousands of stars

Don't seem enough for such a night;

You miss the moon badly

Who can make the night bright.

Without proper transportation,

Without supply of electricity,

Life here is so different,

Deprived of city-like facility.

A moonless night of summer,

Is not a piece of cake.

If you're going for a hike ,

Don't panic if you encounter a snake.

Among the sounds of toads and cockroaches,

When One sound appears different

Do you need your Grand'ma to confirm you

"This is the sound of a serpent."

POETRY

Playing with words very tactfully

Often comes from heart not forcibly

Expressing yourself emotionally

Techniques of writing to be followed ; preferably

Rhyming sounds good but not mandatory

Yield of thinking anything thoughtfully

Siblings (Acrostic, published in www.poetry.com in 2009)

SIBLINGS

Sharing parents,

Incredible friends,

Blood related,

Love oriented,

If away from home,

Nostalgic for them,

Grown up together,

Soul mates for ever.

Squirrel (Acrostic, published in www.poetry.com in 2009)

SQUIRREL

Squirrel, shy by nature,

Quickness is its gesture,

Undulating with speed,

Influenced by greed,

Raking to make nest,

Rushing for maple harvest,

Eating acorn and nuts dispersed,

Long furry tail remains curled.

DIWALI (ACROSTIC)

Deity of success and prosperity

Inner peace and serenity

Worshipped on the occasion of Diwali

Adorning entrances with toran and rangoli

Lights of diyas twinkling everywhere

Indian festival of sweets and delicacies to share.
