OLD WOMAN
Wearily she walks
sunburnt skin shrivelled and dried
stooped and bent with age
trudging along she ponders
if the night would see the day

MOTHER'S DAY
It's going to be Mother's Day soon
A wonderful day! A boon!
As I think of a present for you
I know that nothing would compensate
All that you have endured for your brood
Adjusting with people in the neighborhood.
Your strictness and discipline
Was used for us to grow into level-headed adults
The values and lessons learnt have
helped us rise whenever we had a fall,
And be sensitive and considerate to all.
While Dad was around
You were a pillar of strength to him
Helping him take the right decisions
Towing in line with him
Following him like a shadow.
Without him around now
With equanimity and poise,
You have managed to
Collect the threads of your life.
Your blessings for the children who live yonder
Makes the heart grow fonder.
(As every mother is, mine is special too. She is not educated in the true sense, yet she has a heart of gold. She is warm, considerate, loving and caring -in short an unsung heroine.)

UNCLE VAN
Uncle Van, the man next door is a droll.
Day after day, he goes for a stroll,
with a baton and umbrella in hand,
Resembles a bandleader with his band.

UNSUNG HEROES
Hardworking hands, toiling night and day,
create the architectural amazement.
deftly, diligently dexterously,
defying all odds,
devoid of any comfort,
paying attention to detail
despite domestic discomfort,
desperate to succed in designing,
deriving satisfaction, then detaching
themselves decisively.
Delighted dignitaries watch with disbelief,
congratulate the architect
and the sponsor.
Building is dedicated to the ‘Great Man.’
What about the unsung heroes
who slumped, slouched, slogged, strived
to create the skyscraper
toiling night and day,
baring the sun or the cold.
They remain unsung heroes.

GRANDPA
Each morn he'd be up at crack of dawn
To welcome a new calendar day in the evening of Life,
Routines complete, to sit up with
devout books
Which he'd devour, delve and doodle
As if this existence weren't enough
for them all.
An enigma around him was perpetually present
This never could be fathomed
Attempt as hard as did I
To discern this individual of words a few
Succeed I did - long after he was a gone.
Desolate and lonesome appeared the room
Sans Grandpa in its center
The Elusive Mystery I managed to unravel...
You too can gain that Peace in Life
If you recognize the source of Misery.

FRIEDN (ACROSTIC)
Fosters
Rejoices
Inspires
Empathises
Nurtures
Dependable-that's you my friend.
Around when needed
Never feel discarded
In each other's growth we revel
This friendship is continual.
Saying Goodbye-No, No!
The parting is only a change of scenario.
Shall keep in touch
without expecting too much

FOOTBALL (ACROSTIC)
Forward, Faster, Further...
Over here, pass it on,
Over there, dodge,
That’s a lovely kick!
Ball’s in the goal.
All players run across
Look out- kick from midfield
Lo! It’s another goal. Time up, We've won.
