Bhakti Lata Aug 2016

oblivious
to the waves
of time
that are
waiting to come
crashing
from behind

we build
our sand castles
of worldly
possessions
with great pride
naïve
as a child

I wrote this poem inspired by a picture in Microsoft Picture Gallery of a little child playing with a sand castle on the beach :-)

Autumn Leaves

I choose
to wear
my share
of pains
with pride
and panache

like those trees
flamboyantly
adorning their
pale and dry
autumn leaves

I wrote this poem inspired by a picture in Microsoft Picture Gallery of an avenue of trees decorated with orange yellow and brown leaves of autumn.
