Summer

Oh! in India May and June

have the burning noon.

As time goes after sun rise

horror of heat do terrorise.

Dresses are wet in the sweat

it’s hard to go out in heat.

Heat waves and heat stroke

facing summer is not a joke.

Ponds and pools are dried

in the mud fishes are fried.

Thirsty birds animals plants

shade and water each wants.

‘Rabi’ crop harvesting is over

fields are free for rollover.

Farmers preserve food grains

to consume in period of vain.

Young hearts are yet vibrant 

marriage mantras are chant.

Children enjoy, schools closed

chance of excursion and explore.

Game with bread

Millions tons of wheat gets rotten

for improper storage and kept open.

Grain exposed to rain, frost and sun

but given by Govt. for eating to non.

Though in the country many are poor

those people sometime live in hunger.

Can’t get their two time bread regular

for perish, excuses, have the leaders.

They don’t have sufficient storage space,

if they export opposition they would face.

But people say it is done by a scandal

situation, leaders don’ t want to handle.

 Leaders deprive the poor of their slice,

because want to jack the wheat price.

The rotten wheat is disposed to distilleries

out of it, some mafia  become beneficiaries.  

There are more incidences, few play game

With bread of others without any shame

Do wrong, accumulate wealth for generations

Thus poor people are left for starvation

Indian summer

Indian May and June

have the burning noon

as the sun rises

horror of heat terrorises

dresses are wet in sweat

hard to go out in heat

fear of heat stroke

facing summer is not a joke

harvest season is over

filed are free for crop rollover

fans and coolers are on

increased water power consumption

ponds and pools are dry

to find shade animals try

birds seek migration

agony of thirst and dehydration

yet enthusiasm in children

enough time for play and fun

because schools are closed

chance of excursion and explore

cold drinks and ice cream

always children’s summer dream

Recreation progressed addiction.

For his goal fought all obstructions.

He can take grief and pain every.

Flowers and butterflies

Both charm the children

The flowers and butterflies

One smiling in the gardens

Other flying in the sky

Both charm the children

The butterflies and flowers

One spreading colors on petals

Other spreading on feathers

Both charm the children

The butterflies and flowers

For nectar one invites the other

Comes to suck it, the later

Both charm the children

The flowers and butterflies

One is jewel of the garden

Other embellish

Uncle moon

Uncle Moon, Uncle Moon!

sun has gone come out soon.

We wait you eagerly

take with too, your platoon.

Our eyes are set in the sky

watching since the twilight.

You and your family

come to glorify the night.

Your rays, come all the way

Sun’s given light you share.

Earth smiles illuminated

you play duty of neighbour.

Huge shining silver ball

we love, the children all.

You are night hero of sky

surrounded by sweet stars.

Uncle Moon, Uncle Moon!

we don’t know your birthday.

But you be there, at your rise 

our birthday we celebrate.

Uncle Moon, Uncle Moon!

one thing we are surprised.

Your family stays as it is

everyday, you change your size.

We have our common friend

in this universe, the air.

We stay alive breathing in

rescue you when clouds cover.

We send you our greetings

by flying colourful balloons.

We stars of the earth too

love you much, O Uncle Moon!

One in her name

May stars of heaven come down
through the golden ladder;
To join Charshma’s party
and glow the light lavender.
                                                  
Bestow her the smile and
sing dance bliss with them.
Celebrate her birthday; the stars
and leave one, in her name.

Summer in India

wheat crop ripen
farmers ready to reap
harvesting season

fear amidst hot days
of dust and sand storms
heat tests life

shadow of tree
sherbet to drink
villagers beat heat 

souls animals plants
and the environment
everything thirsty

first rain drops
farmer frog fish
wait eagerly          

desert plants slash size
of their own leaves in summer
preserve water

cold drink
increased consumption
cola companies delight

School bell

first school bells
after prayers were boring
last always excited

Love and marriage

love is just falling
marriage is walking with load
holding each other

Sky bowed, haiku

sky bowed to kiss earth
ignored Sun going to sink
astound scream at beach

Man has broken his peace

Master chase servant
entrepreneur hounds worker
capitalist starves for fund

Frights pricks kicks kills else
to fulfill own selfish needs
human has broken his peace

Pilgrimage

church or the temple

is bath-tub to rinse souls pure

pilgrimage is pool

I could know then

I felt your sensation, evoked my emotions

I could know then… what is the love

You thrown your smile I caught your style

I could know then.. .

You stolen my sleeps your memories  I keep

I could…

I looked at your face in my heart I placed

I could…

Your sweetness allured I fell at adored  

I could…

He lends everything

cinders of desire

filled into heart once covers

darkness would begin frighten

lighting with true love

one candle for him each day

shall remove most of darkness

 

he needs from us

mere prayer and reverence

lends everything we seek

if simply we praise

he guarantees full of joy

and the restful livelihood

For mars trip

for the Mars trip

NASA rents space craft

book in advance

Roar on mars

aliens from earth

have fallen on the planet

roar on Mars

Desert disaster

Clutched in storms of sand

lives baked and buried alive

Deserts in summer

Cracked land and dead trees

Yell – died everything else  

African deserts

Unreachable shore

If dare surfing and sink in

Ocean of the sand

One rupee coin

on one rupee coin

wheat ears replaced by thumb nose

true value reveals
