This time of the season
The sun is not blazing
But the hues of the leaves glowing
Bright with orange,yellow and red
Falling from the trees
Rolling on the streets
Decorating the earth
Prized collection in scrapbooks
Photogenic features
To be preserved
In the memoirs n memories
Of the seer of the scenes!

Ducks, ducks and ducks everywhere...!
Ducks,ducks and ducks,
Where ever I turn.
Beside the curb of church road
Lay my neighbor's dog-Annie's toy duck!
Two handsome mallard duck's crossed the Broadmoor road
To join the lonely female duck
That raced from the menace of the male mallards!
In the middle of Mayland Drive
Ten tiny cute little ducklings
Were chaperoned by their mother
Who waddled away across the road
As the traffic came to a halt!
I wish I had my camera to click
This beautiful sight
On a belated Mother's Day
Early evening twilight!
Where ever I turn.

Free Verse
Yesterday was rainy,
Today was bright and breezy
Tomorrow might be rainy
For its Springtime you see
And some days are sunny
For small flowers to blossom
Perennials start to pop up
Annuals await to show up in stores
Rainy, windy and sunny
Gets me going
To grow some plants in my garden!

Fall's Blessing
Wow, what a beautiful sight
I was glad to go for a ride
Slowly cruising by
I came to a halt at the red light!
For the leaves to depart with delight
It was a blessing to witness the sight
Of the yellow leaves showering Mother Earth
With gratitude and love
For glorifying their lives
Bringing in gleam and glitter
To the hearts that paid due respects
In recognizing the beauty of Mother Nature!

Twinkle Twinkle
Raindrop, raindrop
Don't you drop
From the leaf top!
Your twinkle and Sparkle
Glitter and gleam
Brightens the rainbow hues it seems
I love to watch the twinkling colors
With joy it makes me beam!
I love to watch
The twinkling colors
For it brings immense joy!

Falling is a Blessing
The breeze is blowing gently
Sweeping the flower petals from the trees
Letting them loosely fall
Lovingly wishing you
The one to be lucky!
Falling from the trees
Twirling and twisting
Dancing amidst you, the
Beautiful flower petals
Make you feel like a celebrity!
Whilst this happens around you
Wow what a magical feeling
Blessed from Heaven art thou
Enchanted in this divine beauty!

Moments In Time
Along with the four seasons,
Many years have passed, unnoticed.
Wonderful moments in Nature
Has been wasted without a glimpse
To the human eyes!
I feel terrible when I think of the time misused
Busy with the mundane things in life
So materialistic am I, hence,
Tend to forget or even experience
The Grandeur of Nature!
Oh how can I compensate
The loss of time and be prepared
To enjoy Nature in spite of my monotonous routine
Still the time lost is lost forever
The beauty that is missed, is missed forever!
I wish I had a magic wand in my hand
Right now at this very moment
To wave and win back the lost time
And live in Nature
To enjoy the inexpressible joy!

Mother Nature
Cradled in the lap of Nature
Taught to love and nurture
Universal love.
Drifted away to Her dismay
I walk, run and blindly fall
For I'm lost in social prejudice.
Fortunately realize the truth
Just to be myself
To live in the world of love.
The joy and freedom
Knew no bounds
Happy to be reborn in the lap of Mother Nature!

Raindrops
Once upon a cloudy day i was born
Landed on a lovely leaf at that morn
Later when the sun shone brightly
Its beautiful rays beautified me
With the colorful rainbow hues
I smiled and twinkled with joy
At that glorious moment
In life came a thirsty little butterfly
It sipped me a little, chipping off
The yellowish hue thinking it was nectar
Then fluttered away to a nearby flower
Phew! i was safe and sound
With a pretty good hold
On this slender tender green leaf
Decorating this blade of grass
Like the precious diamond ring
On a woman's finger,
Twinkling and sparkling all the time.
Well the sun was burning up the gas
And drying the moisture around
I didn't want to be wasteful
Watching my friends dry
But decided to slip by
The parched soil
Well here i got absorbed by a little apple seed
Which was longing for some water to bring it to life
And i was transformed into some sort of energy
To make it grow into a little apple sapling!
And so my life never ends
Because its recycled through
This little apple sapling
And i get out of there into the air
To be robed as clouds
And back to the earth
As a crystal clear raindrop again!

Intruder
I went to my garden to take some pictures
Beautiful snaps of the gorgeous flowers
My Favorite roses and gerbera daisies
It was then I discovered
That my beautiful lotus -colored rose had vanished.
O my heart wept silently
Was angry with whoever stole it
Be it a human or an animal.
My little boy said maybe
A teenager stole it to give it to his girl friend.
My older son said maybe
A teenager took it to just squish it.
And well the next day to my surprise
I see my peace colored gerbera daisy
Snapped from its plant and was lying on the ground
I was glad to see the flower in its full form
So i picked it up to put it in a vase to admire it
Was a little happy to at least see this flower
My happiness didn't last long
The third day i was alarmed to see
The tender shoots of the rose plant were all eaten
And my dark maroon colored dense petaled rose
Was eaten as well by some mysterious creature
Oh no, I toiled so hard to have a beautiful garden
Is this what i get in return for my efforts
Mother Nature please help me.
Since i was bad to the squirrels,
Who hoarded the birdseeds
You can't punish me like this
Maybe the deer, or the rabbits, or the moles
Are eating everything.
I sleep late at night to see if i can find the intruder
And wake up early to catch the intruder
Disappointed but got it confirmed
By the poop, it was a deer's poop,
Then it was the rabbit and then the moles
I hope next spring I'll get to see
At least some of my floral garden back in blossom!

Fresh from the Shower
Bathed in rain
Is the beautiful azure sky
Sparkling Sun
Shining so bright
Silver silhouette
Snow colored clouds
Barren wet trees
Await spring
Harmoniously howling wind's music
Resembles the resonance of the Ocean!

A Jolly Good Time
The leaves are sleeping on the curb side
The wind comes crawling beside
Wake up, wake up, baby
'ts time to dance, whispers the wind
Sweet howls of the wind are music to its ears
It makes the leaves rock n roll
A skip, jump, hop, roll, and twirl
A jig and hug
On the black top floor
Emerald green floor
A jolly good time
Has arrived and hence this
twirling, rolling, jumping, skipping,
hopping, bouncing, crossing, and gliding
A jolly good time .....!

I Tree Eternal

At first I was oval in shape, then I took the form of a raindrop. I didn't know what was happening to me. I waited in the moist dark land.
II
O…What a wonderful surprise, it was worth waiting, I was bathed with the beautiful beam of light and dressed with its golden hue and I saw a very big world in front of me. I had big and little friends who used to smile and wave at me now and then. It used to be very pleasant to be in such a nice atmosphere.
III
Everything was fine and I had grown into a small sapling. Every evening a care-taker came and tended us and we were all happy together.
IV
The next morning a new two-legged being visited us and I was chosen for his garden. I was transported to a nouveau jardin where everyone was surprised to see me and it was my new home. That evening I saw a little girl walking towards me, she seemed to be very friendly and nice. She was the one who took care of tous les arbres le nouveau jardin.
V
Days, months and years passed by, all of us grew together. Various flowering plants and trees such as button- roses, victoria-rose and other roses, jasmines, coral-stalk-jasmine, creeper-jasmine, tree-jasmine, hibiscus, white-scented-lilies, cute little green-bells, balsam, all blossomed, and the whole garden was filled with its hue and its own mild fragrance gently filled the fertile land. The fruit bearing plants and trees such as jack fruit, guava, cricket ball, custard apple, mangoes, jamblams, grapes, orange, bananas, pomegranates, cashews, almonds all looked full, round and ripe, delicious and juicy.
VI
This place was like a heaven on earth, especially to all the birds, butterflies, squirrels, lady –birds, etc.,. They always had a never ending feast to their full and were very healthy and happy singing to the glory of God and especially their master cum friend the no more little girl but belle dame.
VII
Majestically, I stood there with mildly baked body and emerald crown with topaz bouquets and jaded bunch of base -balls which held transparent juicy liquid and milky kernel within, my nuts were relished especially on a hot summer day, I helped the humans to cool down and rest and relax under my shade. My dear friend would read or write enjoying my cool atmosphere many times. I was happy with the others and
sort of proud too, for ma belle dame liked me the most for she often danced and sang around me whenever she was very happy, jolly, and in her high spirits.
VIII
Soudain, down to earth was my condition, I was ill and treated with pill but it was of no use, I deteriorated day by day, hence my life was coming to an end. Although everyone and even the agriculturist lost hope in me, and told that I was 99% dead and there was no point in having me and thereby to replace with a new one. Mais, cette belle dame, who had great confidence in her, challenged that within a month she would bring life into me. She devoted much of her time and energy in achieving her project. She loved me all the more and took extra care by thoroughly washing me off the decayed matter, removing the unwanted stuff, allowing free flow of light and air, by bathing and feeding me well to such an extent that I recovered from my deathbed, and regained strength and life. I was back with usual majesticity and pride—o no, now humble and wise, thankful and grateful to the heart that saved my life, where I am eternally united to that lifesaver. I do not exist anymore.

I live in eternity!

Snow
O what a beautiful sight
To see it snowing day and night
Lit by the snow, the night is so bright
Without the stars and moonlight!
The world is like a moon
Don’t miss, come and see this soon
Otherwise it will melt
For words can’t picture exactly what I felt!
Happy is the little hearts
To sing, dance and play
On a snow-fall day
No school
Fun at snow-pool!
Beauty and danger
Go hand in hand
Like two sides of a coin
Cars, trucks, vans, that join
Create a commotion
Stops the flesh’s motion!
Wherever you see everything is white
White, white and only white
Nature shows it’s mighty-might
No man can win this fight!
Peace, peace, peace to the soul
That shed its robe
Its God’s fault
For their lives have come to a halt
O what a mistake
In His marvelous creation
Of which fears the nation!
Life-less trees
Come alive, with snow
And the leaf-less branches
Yet to grow!
As far as your sight can measure
All is the snow treasure
Enriches your life with peace and purity
Also, nature’s prosperity!
So far not a single sound heard
Eagerly awaits the world
The cheering-chirp of a cuckoo-bird
Then will you see a wonderful world
So colorful, beautiful,
Of all this time you could not have heard!
O what great blossom it can bring
During the spring
Can’t wait to experience the joy
Of which my heart could sing!!!
NATURE
NATURE
Barren lands not
But best green fields
Bordered with coconut trees
Beyond them
Beautiful sun – rise
Ball so perfect
Golden-orange bright tint
Quiet lotus pond
Awaits for blossom
Seconds, within minutes
Transcends to
Pure golden yellow sphere
The strong sunrise
Too bright and glary to see
Urges the
Half bloomed lotus buds
To glorify the land
With its beauty and fragrance!
