SCHOOL RHYME 4

The clever little Mama once at night,
Snuck down the bed with her breaths tight.
Tiptoed to wardrobe in the dark,
So slyly her parents couldn't mark. 
She fumbled for dad's trouser pocket 
And pulled out his new leather wallet.
Wallet in hand, she groped back to bed
And slipped to her parents, then shouted,
"Mom...mom! Dad...dad! A thief ! A thief !"
As both awakened to her mischief. 
Before they made it out, she went on,
"I saw in dream, dad's wallet is gone."
Dad rushed to wardrobe, as mom lit on,
Too startled to think it was her fun.
To his shock, dad found wallet missing,
As mom dashed to door, over theft worrying. 
But door was intact to her wonder,
While Mama with wallet burst into laughter. 
"I'm the thief. I'm the thief.", she told laughing,
With her laughed mom, dad, till the morning.

And I have hidden the cracks  On my wintry lips  To save from rashes My Valentine's softy cheeks... Well with flushed up teeth, With cleaned up tongue, With exotic ...

THE CHILDREN OF GAZA

                 The Children Of Gaza                               A Blank Verse Thundering in the sky, then rain of missiles... See how they are fleeing arms outstretched  Like the broken wings of storm-hit birds, And see their faces white with fear and hunger And hear their throbbing voice of pain and loss... Over their head, the sky's no kites, no clouds, But fire and fire amidst engulfing smoke, And they are running like the Napalm girl  From Vietnam or standing frozen, like The standing boy from Nagasaki, before Their elders who are whispering in fear Or staring helpless in the gauge of Death... They are the hapless children caught in the war zone. They have no home, no school, no ground of freedom, But sole refugee camps and hospitals  If marching death has spared them of their life. They hear not bedtime tales but sirens of death.  For them,...

THE BATHROOM SINGER : SONNET 176

           The Bathroom Singer                        Sonnet 176 From the bathroom comes the voice and plays Around in many a number, gently touching Each lucky soul -- from youth to elder age -- With its enchanting notes of love and longing... But the singer wishes for no credit;  No listeners he does think to entertain, But him, alone, alone to suck each beat, Each tone, each pitch, each rhythm, each refrain, As the showery bathroom's walls replay His romantic, lovey-dovey numbers In the quiet hours each morn, each day In his cube-size happy universe... I doubt the man's self-entertaining soul If to amuse him, he has none in the Whole. ©️ N P Samal
