BIRDS IN CAGE : RHYME 55

                    Birds In Cage

A medley of sweet sounds
When sang the street,
Mama trotted out of home
In much delight. 

There gathered many people 
In a big round
And leaned over the centre
Their necks bound.

Mama ran over to the place
At one breadth length,
And forced into the onlookers
With her full strength. 

There sat a big dark man,
On head a turban,
With a cage in his front and
Birds in the one.

Melodies of their voices in
Sundry notes and tones
Caught each young and old
In fascination. 

Beautiful little birds -- all
Colourful and rare,
Wings, feathers, smart going, 
But caught in the snare.

Little Mama got a shock
Bigger than her joy,
As she heard the crying birds
In pain and dismay. 

She ran back home fast, straight 
To her father,
"Papa, papa, buy me birds!",
She cried for.

The father gave a smile at
His daughter's craze,
Then bought her whole birds
With the cage.

Then, Mama took the birds out
Into the open
And opened the cage door with
A grand passion. 

Happily, the birds flew out,
Away into the sky,
And Mama thanked her papa
For the rich buy.

"Can we all survive without 
Our home?,
Tree, nest and open sky is their
Home of freedom.",

Saying this, she went home
With her father,
The dark man selling birds 
Was never seen after.

Woo-hoo...! Kisss you...u...u...u...??? Oh, I'm being frenzical !!! My slavering tongue is jerking fast And my quivering lips are pouting out With booms of kisses in the air -- Ummah...! Ummah...! Ummah...! Just yesterday, an okay got my promise. Today is the chance no way to miss. And ready is my basket with pecks, Lip-locks, French kisses, and other varieties... I'm also ready for the lizard kiss, And the kiss of the Spider man... And I'm sure I won't beg like Big B  -- (Juma, chumma de de chumma...), This is my right to kiss I earn'd this week. I shall kiss like one Dhoom 2's Hritthik-Aash's, Although I envy Emraan's 'Murderous' thriller kiss... I'm ready with my balmy lips, Strawberry flavour'd,  To be the biggest smoocher  Of do hazaar chhabees... 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 RETURN : RHYME 100

                    The Return                                   Rhyme 100 Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. ©️ N P Samal
