VISHWAKARMA : SONNET 167

Vishwakarma

Sonnet 167

He is the builder of the Universe

And therefore Vishwakarma is His name;

He has built the Earth, her splendrous neighbours

Inside the boundless Architectural Frame.

And earthlings worship Him in most devotion

For motors, mansions, mills, all mundane builds;

But more construction goes with more destruction;

To spoilage, wastes, do drain all Lordly yields.

If construct does He, whoe'er destroys?

Whoever brings forth cyclones, floods and quakes

And hands out mortars, missiles, bombs to guys,

That down each harbor, home instantly breaks?

If Vishwakarma, then there's One to honor

Who will touch not Lord's resources, labor.

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