Mother - meaning

Mother
is not only
a six letter
words!
But, defines
journey of
our collective destiny!
She plans
conceives
and nourishes
entire humanity!
She laughs
with our harmony
and weeps
with our melancholy!
Mother is
not only
a six letter word
but our destiny!

A daughter
Still begs!

A Poetic Prayer

I know, you don’t
enjoy reading me
I know , it lacks
metaphor and simile!

But, I 've poured
true emotions on it
As I am trying to redeem
soul of a culprit!

Yes, Tears, sighs or wails
had no impact on me!
Alas, I ate, drank and
acted care free!

That shame
Of being indifferent!

Woe Of Men!

Men entrapped women
in different ways
Their writ run large!
They hold sway!

Men may be dishwashers
or gate keepers or petty workers!
but hold feudal mindsets
to subjugate mother, wife and daughters!

Men may be illiterate,
jocular or post age!
But still interpret
social norms and heritage!

Men may be paupers,
wastrel or poor
But still want Women
to stay indoor!

Longing for Shakespeare!

(Today is anniversary of the man who make us love, fine aspects of english language!)

Poetic world
Looks forlorn
May another
Shakespeare be born

Alas, Prose and poetry
Exude curses!
We read
Drab verses!

Soap operas
Have replaced plays!
Eclipsed sun shines
And fools make hay!

No husband
Can tame his shrew!
Merchants of Venice
