Adversity

Hammer pounding down

On life's anvil man is honed

By his afflictions.

Patience (Naani)

Eyes fixed steady
Ears marked for slightest sound
Nostrils catching all scent of prey
As cat claws strike the poor mouse.

Generations

If parents are the craftsmen
Mold children into jewelry
Such work I may conclude, for then
Grandchildren are the filigree.

Artless (Cinquain)

Sadness
Paints bleak portraits
Of Pain, where dreams became
Achromatic images...when
You lied.

A Short Poem Like Ogden's

Perhaps because
Of too high taxes
A man dropped his plane
At the IRS.

I Object, Your Dishonour

When those who pledge and swear
To hold the scales of Justice fair
Of themselves Corruption wear
Address him 'Your Dishonour, Sir'

The Beginning

Today, a mother held her newborn
With love and tender care,
A bond...

It was the beginning
Of the Truth, that proves
God's Love.

Humility

The wheat, when rich with grains
Bends its stalks in Gratitude
The weed, though it proudly strains
To raise itself, yields no food.

Perhaps A Fool

Perhaps
Moonlight makes
Tides rise
And hearts forsake
Logic's cries
Magnetic pull
Pulses beat
Births a fool
Into defeat...
Perhaps.

Blues, No Rhythm (Cinquain)

Broken
Is he who lost
The will for life and love
To hold the future in his heart
With hope.
