Sharing tiffin

I love to share with my friends
our knowledge, games and fun.
Whenever we got free time
seek to bask together in sun.

What I liked most in my class
tiffin brought by friends, to share.
Fortuned to get variety of taste and
co-operation in mutual affairs.

I felt her mom, the best cook,
friend described best my mother.
All bakes and cakes we brought
in the school we ate together.

Butterfly

flying in garden
colours of rainbow on wings
butterfly

steals colours too
with nectar from blossoms
butterfly

larvae eats snacks
drinks the wine through straw
butterfly

so lucky
always finds the lips open
butterfly

beauty in eyes
of beautiful children

Power of corruption

In the corrupt countries

positioned officials trade the rules,

make money from needy people

sell convenience making system fool.

Bureaucrats, police, politicians

think powerful to do things above law;

make money for their lavish living

their near and dear also, they reward.

People pay bribe to make work easy

and avoidance of punishment;

the officials accept happily, to fulfil

lavish needs and make life decent.

Due to authority’s laxity, indifference,

own greed and  no transparency;   

officials hide rules and exploit 

innocence, difficulty and urgency.

Law is as their own egg, they sell

for grant of work, privilege, license

quota, land, avoidance of punishment

evading tax or fine and Govt. payments.

Scammers and black money earners

acquire resources depriving the masses;

they grab power too to manipulate and

force to pay higher price, by poor classes.

Deputed to defend law, but hidden outlaw.

in public eyes, desirous of looking good.

Robbing Government, deceiving people

wish to be ‘white collared Robin Hood’.

Australian redback

ant is entangled

mate is consumed entirely

men are left in pain

‘Vowed to die in your love, mate!

After wedding we would be one.”

“Can’t believe males, so take in cell

I too vow to never look else one .”

Having so intense love to his darling

male wished to always rest in hers.

Fallen in love, the lusty young man

makes space in her heart, to pierce.

Female Redback is, in so deep love

she never allows lover to separate.

Already widened her heart for him

where he can stay forever in rest.

She could be love of the entomologist

and data collecting by the statistician;

Laying three hundred eggs each month

without mating again, like a magician.

Normal person who would love her

has to end his day in severe pain.

Her kiss would be just a pin prick

may swell part and lay sick, the man.

Any one who has chanced a kiss  

must have needed complete day rest.

To save from envenoming effect of love

keeping distance from her is best.

Welcome Autumn

Now, early sunset and late sunrise,

days have trimmed short their size.

Schools, universities open after break,

maple’s gold leaves go autumn break.

Valley dressed in flowers, coloured brisk,

wait next summer for recreation trips.

By sun falling, stars weep, shed tears,

cascading smoky damp, wets the air .

Birds flocking, planning to disappear;

to find warm nestle before winter nears.

Hello! season of harvest and abundance,

Confer to land, lot fruits and food grains.

Goodbye heat! Welcome season of festivity!

Love to peek the beauty of changeability.
