The Hub

The Hub

Humour and wit make this a happy nest
Where from cares may you get good rest
Lifting all weighing loads off your chest
And enliven your day with a hearty jest
Look before you leap will guide you best
Think before you post is the timely test
Invite not trouble, ugly, unwanted guest
Be you discreet in your friendship quest
Regret not your time and energy to invest
Where may you get healthy fare to digest
Amid moments of genial fight and protest
Weakens not the merry-go-round’s interest
May you surf for ever on this joyful crest

Thanx, Arthi!

There is no predicting where an inspiration for a poem, any literary expression, is waiting to come from: a passing scene, a fleeting thought, an old recollection, a rare association of ideas and so on. And importantly, a strong emotion like anger or sorrow can also find an outlet in poetry like my last poem, “Our Cosmos”.

Flowers

Great schemers, the flowers sure are-
Brightly colored for the day,
Brilliant white for the night,
Strongly scented in addition,
Announcing their location with assurance.

Full blossoms laden with nectar
Invite for feast the winged guests:
Buzzing bees and dainty butterflies,
Spotted bugs and shiny beetles,
Big and small, dull and colorful.

They come in hosts and in single file
To gorge in the sweet honey.
Drunk and dazed,
They waltz on the petals
In a tipsy dance of ecstasy.

The restless revelers leave the flowers
With their hairy legs and body
Coated with the yellow dust
That is sprinkled all over
The freshly opened honey cups.

The avid drinkers land again
On another bed of flowers-
A silent transfer of the yellow powder
Follows - a fantastic propagation mission:
Cleverly planned, but seemingly casual.

The pollen finds its destination-
Begun as a floral merrymaking,
Bringing about fertilization,
The fruition of love's labor
Is the joyous secret of Nature's perpetuation.

Harmony

A big bang it was that started it-
What began aeons ago goes on and on :
The firmament of suns, stars and planets,
Filling awe and wonder in curious minds.

The Earth is Mother Nature's darling,
A stage for cellular growth,
A seat for origin of species,
An Eden of breathing life and treasures.

The fins, the wings and the the feet
Make Nature's animated fleet
Populating the seas, the hills and the dales
That dot the globe in riotous variety.

Coal, gold, gems and ores of different kinds,
Graphite, granite and silicon of various types
Are the abundant wealth of Nature
Buried in earth's bowels and crusted on its surface.

Endowed with senses six, man, the crown of species
Rests not with just adapting to Nature.
He learns to tap its resources
And yearns to curb its unbridled forces.

Tune in to Nature's harmony,
Throb alive with its basic rhythm,
Break into the mysteries of coded genes,
Synchronize life with Nature's pace
For greater peace and fuller pleasure
Is the target of human genius.
