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.

TELL ME NOT

Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost, All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad. -- 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 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

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
