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, published in www.poetry.com in 2009)

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.

CONFIDENCE

Charming appearance

Optimistic sense

Never tiring

Faith in self-being

Intelligent brain

Determined to gain

Ever ready

Never untidy

Caring Manners

Energetic in adverse

Valentine's Poem (Acrostic, published in www.poetry.com in 2009)

VALENTINE'S   POEM
Valentine poem of mine,

Always dedicated to define,

Love as the most delicate emotion

Enclosed in heart and devotion,

Never stops and scares;

Trust is what it cares.

Inevitable is its existence ,

Not made for omittance;

Eternity of a true love

'S floating above,

Promised not to die,

Often tested in bad tide,

Encouraged to grow more,

Marriage is a surfboard not the shore

Today's Women (Rictameter, featured in www.poetrysoup.com)

Women!

Today's women!

Demand equality,

Declining to hide calibers

Behind the mask of orthodoxy now;

They are crossing the boundaries

Drawn irrationally:

They're born to win.

Women!
 

Women!

Today's women!

Wise, confident and smart,

Always filled with self- esteem,

Earning beauty pageants, exploring space.

In business or politics,

Breaking male dominance,

Shining everywhere,

Women!

Women!

Today's women!

Forwarding continuously,

Although, expanding with success,

By generating life, serving nature

Is still their salient feature.

Blessed with the "motherhood",

They're endearing.

Women!

A Sunset By A Lake-Side

A Sunset By A Lake-Side

The golden coat in the sky

Turned the rest so dark

When reflected in the water

The lake was ignited with sparks.

Within the magical shades,

The brightest shining object

Started Immerging slowly,

And gave an eye enchanting effect.

Light was diminishing

The trees turned into shadows

A cool breeze started from the lake

Doves disappeared from the meadow.

Chirping of the returning birds

Announced the end of the day,

To bring another morning,

The sun had to set today.

                                                                                            

A Park In My Neighborhood (quatrain)

A regular walk to the park
My baby's favourite landmark
Not more than half a mile away
Where kids like to run and play

In the centre of the busy town
A place filled with giggling sound
No only by little princes and angels
This place is liked by parents as well

Rows of beautiful flowers
A big wide tree in the corner
The green grass covering the ground
Swings, slides, see-saw all around.
