The color white
Whilst quite bright
Is a chilling sight
After snow all night!
Showcasing nature’s might
This snow ain’t light
At least there is daylight
To not strain my sight!
Don’t have to catch a flight
Or have a schedule tight
So much better than the plight
Of homeless sans shelter overnight!
As I kept staring at the clock
Out went a teen
Who was with me every moment for a full year
Leaving many memories behind;
In emerged a twentysomething
Assuring stay with me will be longer
Promising to create new memories for a decade
I stopped looking at the clock to savor every moment!
Hey Nature
You are quite a painter!
For months you spread color
To enliven the decor;
From your infinite palette
Emerge creations to suit every palate;
When you paint a picture
’tis always pretty as a picture;
Then you whiten the canvas
And we ponder if it’s our loss;
We seek reason
You provide season;
Thence you start all over
We wait to behold that future!
Caught in the vortex of an arctic chill
Everything appears frozen and still!
Chance of stepping out in shorts is practically nil
Dressing in layers has become a daily drill!
I asked my good friend Bill
“Is there hope for a warm Spring still”?
Staring at the sky he said “Look forward to more spill”
All talk of warm weather is rumor mill!
Can someone either give me a chill pill
Or reveal secret to keep down the heating bill?
Hope for something better springs eternal still
Wish I could change the weather at will! 🙂
There she is,
A multilayered beauty,
Majestic in solitary splendor,
Radiating charm and brilliance,
Unswayed by winds of change blowing,
Unaffected by prickly environs,
Painting a rosy picture,
An image of pluck,
Who woulda thunk?
I wanna pluck 🙂
My dear rose
Your absolute beauty
Deserves my total fealty;
When you bloom
You dispel all gloom;
When you flower
You add color;
You look lovely
Yet so lonely;
Love thy looks come-hither,
No further should I dither;
My verse worse than prose
I will send you a red rose 🙂
Peals of laughter
Squeals of delight
Roar of approval
Love was in the air!
In bounded a knight
Clutching something tight
Surprised there were many
As he went down on one knee!
Eternity passed before she said yes
Then the skies rained confetti
They shared a kiss
A sight not to miss!
Smiles were exchanged
Champagne freely flowed
Asked “Do you know what you will do?”
They chorused “Yes, I do; Yes, I do” !
Background: Past few years I have been in touch with college classmates thanks to WhatsApp group created by an enterprising mate from my batch. With many folks working or doing business all over the world whenever someone is visiting India friends meet and generally have a good time eating, drinking and making merry. So it was when a batchmate working in the USA visited India couple of years ago. This guy was the only bachelor in our group and many of us married guys used to pull his leg. He was a sport and falling in love with a girl or woman every other day. An informal coed get together was organized. On the eve of the meeting when our confirmed bachelor friend announced he was going to propose to another batchmate our first reaction was “Yeah, right!” 😀 It’s not common for 50-something batchmate to propose to another batchmate at a get together. The day of the meet arrived and as the evening wore on there were photos being posted on WhatsApp group. All friends who could meet were having a jolly good time. Finally the moment arrived. Our man proposed and the lady accepted! As more photos of celebration were posted it was time for some Raj silly verse to celebrate. Above is that attempt. I had decided it had to end with “Yes, I do” 🙂 The challenge was working my way backwards and capture the spirit of the occasion.
