Rise
Early
Start walking
Please your body
Infuse fitness thoughts
Respirators are for the sick
And we don't need them at all
Take few minutes just keep walking
Oxygen supplements will come for free
Rise early, start walking, please your body

Reconsider (Acrostic)

Rise
Early
Close your eyes
Offer your Prayers
Nice way to kick start
Sing praise to the lord
Invite him in to your heart
Don’t speak about your problems
Early hours are meant for God alone
Rise early, close your eyes, offer your prayers.

Lackluster (Fib)

Day

Dreams

Become

Lackluster

And as they subside

They remain with no strings attached

Confusion prevails

Forfeiture

Of past

Lays

Low

Nurseryman (Acrostic Dictina)

No
Ultra
Rays required,
Shine is enough.
Each good seed he sows
Rhizome shoots look for light
Young shoots thrill nurseryman
More with hope and love he nurtures
And in inclement times his faith shines
No ultra rays required,……..shine is enough

Mainstream (Acrostic Dictina)

Mind
And Soul
In the dark
Navigate well.
Supply goes Off and
The backup don’t turn On
River in mind, sets its course
Earnest heart jumping out like fish
Arranges itself,... and syncs with soul
Mind and soul in the dark navigate well

Hotchpotch (Acrostic Dictina)

Heap
Of clouds
Trespassing
Coolly in dreams.
Her beauty is such
Profoundly so graceful
Opened my eyes and she's gone
Tone-deaf became my minds rhythm
Cosmic things do mesmerise at times
Heap of clouds trespassing coolly in dreams.

Silence the mind

Silence the mind...challenging pun
More I try to stop, more they run.
Freely when ebb tides meander
For the thoughts I don't surrender
Rather with them I'll have some fun

I pen them down to make them one
Then the thoughts become so tender.
Bad thoughts are dormant and slender
Silence the mind

One good deed, and the day is done
Negativity remains non.
Under thoughts possible thunder
Showing duff ear is not blunder
Silence the mind
