PAINS EVER : RHYME 84

We all feel various pains from mini
to maiming;
They're all a part of life as cronies 
of living.

Pains do cleave to life from birth
to death;
Some pains do spread on skin and
some beneath.

Pains of bones, of muscles and
of organs,
Pains of mind from losses, from
worries and wants.

Pains do endless roar as human
cries and lows;
Cease not self-made wounds and 
those by the foes.

We heal some, bear some, from some
we get no riddance,
Yet some pains grow on and bring
more malignants.

By dint of money, you may put
pains on hold;
Can you escape the dying pains
of the old?

Life as a mortal treaty, has pains
and penance,
And there is no life and living with
no sufferance.

I DO CRY : SONNET 59

I cry, I do cry breathless like a baby. You notice me or not but I do cry-- Whole drown'd in tears--be it night or day it be-- No care if you find me absurd and wry. But I can't be unfair to cry, or vague If crying can protect me from strokes of death  That nothing else on earth can, though I beg With my bowl'd palms held heavenward in good faith. Yes, I do cry. (Whoe’er on earth will not With the betrayer's dagger stabb'd in heart?) But know my tears will flow all through the drought And grow new plants of love ere life does 'part. Maybe to kill the fatal pain the heart bears, Come out generously life-giving tears. -- N. P. SAMAL 

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 their labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, And they at last return for rest To their death bed. -- N.

MAMA'S FRIENDS GO TO SCHOOL : RHYME 90

Mama says 'No!' to monkey who wants To go to her school, The monkey gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to squirrel who wants To go to her school, The squirrel gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to parrot who wants  To go to her school, The parrot gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to sparrow who wants To go to her school, The sparrow gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. But all her friends do go behind her As she leaves home, And look at her through the window From outside the classroom.  Mama angrily tells them to go back  From her school, But they get piqued and make 'Growl, growl, growl!'. - N P SAMAL
