Gifts of Poverty..

Written for Haiku Heights

Prompt: Endurance

When I thought of writing haiku for this

prompt, only two pictures came to mind..

Earth rotating around the Sun and

a mother breaking stones

on the side of a road with her little children playing...

I don't know whether their

father was around or not...that's one

assumption I made...that he wasn't there...picture
has stayed with me for many years..and here
I draw it in words..

Gifts of Poverty..

Ah, she breaks stones

under the scorching Sun;

naughty children

Naughty children

 gift her happy smiles each night;

Gifts of poverty

Gifts of poverty

held with a stealy resolve;

a mother endures

A mother endures

life each day just for a day;

Ah, she breaks stones..

RS :)

Well, I don't know how  but I did bring smiles in this sad haiku too.. God bless!!

A Cool reflection

With love and passion
Just for the sake of it
For sheer happiness
Would a professional
Have given the Rose
A better life...
I am happy to find it
Smiling heartily
for the butterfly is
Innocently unaware
and doesn't want to know too...

MY 500TH POST...

GREETINGS!!!

Hello friend,

Now that you are here, please stop 

for a couple of minutes to read

these words flowing from my heart

without any preface or a prologue

for I think that's the way the

thoughts emerge ...

I DEDICATE THIS POST TO EVERYONE

VISITING MY SPACE IN THIS WORLD OF BLOGGING.....

NAY..LET ME  SAY, WORLD OF POETRY.... 

I STARTED ON NOVEMBER 14TH, 2009

It has been a wonderful journey of 854 days...till today............

I had never thought of reaching here when I started

extremely reluctantly...but then I am here and the words

say it all.... without mentioning them,  I express my special

gratitude to some discerning minds whom I met through

One Single Impression and then Haiku Heights and

Haiku My Heart and 3WW and Jingle Poetry and

Bluebell Books and Challenge at Few Miles and some more... and 

those discerning minds know who they are and how

they are connected...all because of this wonderful space...

I salute this space which honours written word..

If you ask me what I  have received..well a need stands fulfilled

- the need to be understood...

a need which is intense for a thinking mind...

 I am glad that I was gifted with one

by God and that I found many who appear to be getting

what I wanted to say...

As all my celebratory posts in the past have been written 

for One Single Impression, I write this too for the 

Sunday Prompt: Miracle...   And I am taking the liberty to share
Thanks to Geraldine of Take a Happy Break for this week's prompt.

this post with all others named above on the days during the week

ahead... hope it will be accepted... I say what I have to through

my own style of creating chain of haiku... ( I am  happy to see some

trying this style successfully.. I remember  a fabulous

blogger calling them Dancing Verses)

Five Hundredth Post, this!!!

Five hundredth post, this!

shine together in my words

tears of joy and pain

Tears of joy and pain;

filled with your love and support,

I stand overwhelmed…

I stand overwhelmed

amidst these frozen moments;

both sun and moon shine

Both sun and moon shine

as earth takes another turn

I keep my balance..

I keep my balance

holding on to a moonbeam;

a small miracle, that!!

A small miracle that

words keep raining from skies

they grow on trees too

they grow on trees too

and many stem from your smiles

morning’s happy gifts

Morning's happy gifts

I find some hidden around

in fragrant flowers

In fragrant flowers;

butterflies too bring along

few fluttering words

Few fluttering words

I weave them all together

in haiku and poems

In haiku and poems

in each word , each sentence

I live happily…

I live happily;

blue and green meet quietly in

this beautiful space

This beautiful space

home for all my unbaked dreams;

I meet all of you ..

I meet all of you …

as my heart shouts out loud

 hey, thank you, thank God!!

Rose Blooms..

Written for Rebecca's Haiku My Heart..

oh, no, not a chain of haiku.. had been going through titles of different posts

in last few months and found some haiku hidden....

Rose blooms;

I taste  nature in

my breath

***

Ah, something melts

deep inside me somewhere;

I have a soul..

***

Silent sunbeams;

morning quietly creates

its own pictures..

***

Colours, colours!

dreams spilling from

her lovely eyes..

"I Remain the Boss!"

I had put a long poem narrating an incident..but chose to remove the post as having received the honour of being awarded

I decided to rewrite a series of Haiku

for ONE SINGLE IMPRESSION

my first blogging community

to respect all the blogger friends and

visitors who voted for me..

THANKS A LOT, FRIENDS!!!
and thanks to SiS of Few Miles..

Prompt: Confirmation

Thanks to Tarang for the prompt

"I Remain the Boss!"

Mother Earth roars;

nature confirms her status,

" I remain the Boss"..

"I remain the Boss",

assserts the man too as proud;

intellect smiles..

Intellect smiles

and moves ahead to rebuild;

world stays in slumber

World stays in slumber;

nature conspires to reconfirm

her power over man

Her power over man

is an indisputable truth;

egoistic man

Egoistic man

is slowly learning soul's ways;

nature's last resort..

stories of first crush..

I Try Matching the Steps..

It's Friday.... and I write here for

Rebecca's Haiku My Heart..

I Try Matching the Steps..

A pale shadow

of  sun smiles vainly;

layer of clouds..

***

  layer of clouds;

 sunflowers reflect  

melancholy..

***

melancholy

quietly vanishes;

withering clouds..

***

 withering clouds;

sun peeps through and lo,

sunflowers dance..

***

Sunflowers dance;

ecstatic, I try

matching the steps..

***

Matching the steps

with nature's cool rhythm;

beautiful life

Whenever I Want to Think Aloud..

Written for 3WW



Deviant; adjective: Departing from usual or accepted standards, esp. in social or sexual behavior; noun: a deviant person or thing.

Minuscule; adjective: Extremely small, tiny.

Trivial; adjective: Of little value or importance; (of a person) concerned only with trifling or unimportant things

Whenever I Want to Think Aloud..

  Oh, just because

  I don't bother about
  all that is trivial -
  like your not appreciating
  my new shirt or
  for that matter not
  commenting on my
  new hairstyle
  and your not letting me
  complete a sentence -
  if you want then
  you can label me 'deviant'
  No, even that won't
  be able to make a
  minuscule of a difference...
  And all that I have
  written above is not true
  because your opinion
  about me still matters
  but I want to reach a state
  to become, the kind
  I have thought aloud here..
  Do you know whenever I want
  to think aloud, I write...

 :)

   ****

  Inspired by haiku by MMT...I add a series..for 3WW..

 Shines for the new
 planet in the galaxy;
 deviant Moon

 Deviant Moon
 impressed and lost by
 trivial hints

Trivial hints
so what if it is just a
minuscule  dot...
