An affable muse for you
Your good morning wish comes with a rose
Pinkish hue, your nature it shows
Some colours like this can heal
So complacent I feel.

All that I send back
is thank you and
an affable
tingling
muse

Meeting them after many a year
To my heart, they are so dear.
Flash back, circled in a gush.
Old faces with new blush
Gathered together
For a big bash
Big bang fun
With class

That smile at me
Same eyes tell me all things. 
I fell prey to those eyes lowly.

Be Punctual
Be punctual, its good always
Important  role in life it plays
Instead of raising hue and cry
Manage time, doth not let it fly
Once imbibed more longer it stays

Be prepared and avoid delays
Happy you feel give it a try
If time lost…problems amplify
Be Punctual

Punctuality nowadays
Is considered in many ways
Just inculcate till others try
You’ll be looked as an apple pie
That’s the way you should be always
Be Punctual

Happiness to me and 
Brings lots of joy.

God does wonders
For God, everything is possible. 
He will free us from every trouble. 
You will conceive, an angel Gabriel tells Mary. 
To be brave and not to worry 
Hearing this, Mary will be humble.

For humans It's impossible 
For God, everything is unstoppable. 
Faith and love are a lovely couple.
God does wonders 

God provides, for his plans are visible. 
This verse is a source of hope that is credible. 
The real God is with us; let's be merry. 
In the cake, He is like a cherry. 
With God, nothing is impossible. 
God does wonders
Luke 1:37, King James Version

37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Crooning
Half covered view of my window
Is translucent flowered curtain
These flowers under the shadow
Those outside yet to bloom and certain
Will bridge the gap in thoughts meadow

Other half is an open view
Tree leaves dancing to nature's tune
Mild breeze engulfs belive me you
Your numbers I begin to croon
Singing tunes I enjoy my view

And follow you.

Friends Encourage
Friends encourage us; they make us smile.
With us, they walk an extra mile.
Comforter in times of trouble
Supporters when our tires wobble
They gel so well in their own style.

Though busy, they come for a while.
Their presence makes our minds stable.
With them, it's more fun at the table.
Friends encourage

The bond is never so fragile.
Remains firm; no one can defile
They care without any grumble 
Simple hearts, they remain humble.

She is Sathupati Prasanna Sree.
To know about her, one should be free.

Her writing skills about tribes hold the key.

Preserving tribal languages as per their plea
Got Nari Shakti Puraskar Award with glee. 'Shadows of silence' her writings she beholds

Many of her writings are just nice to me.
She's liked by everyone a thousandfold.

To be good emotionally
Think of inspiring recreations.

Practice being strong mentally.
Doing lovely things gracefully

It's me, call me
How are you this morn

It's

been ages since you are gone

Me

Like rudder less boat
Lost in this vast sea
I've no signal, how will you

Call me
Morning saw them greeting each other
moving with great speed and rhythm
Next day morn saw a castle,
leader less soldiers built
in the yonder yard.
Amazing are
disciplined
creatures.

Kashmir Valley
Kashmir Valley, a World Heritage Site
UNESCO declares, for its might 
Alpine floors are so amazing. 
A diverse ecosystem is blazing. 
The valley is enchantingly quiet. 

Blending hues that are colourfully bright 
Unique flowers are engaging. 
Blue poppy, dog flowers glancing 
Kashmir Valley 

Whiteleaf hogfoot flowers delight 
Himalayan roses are polite.
Snake foil flowers nicely glazing 
Hooked stick seeds are tantalising. 
Fascinating it is, that's right.

Happily, my thoughts will airborne. 
I send birthday wishes by virtual realms.

What's on your mind?

Time
I open
The facebook
It keeps asking me
What's on your mind.. I can't resist
Your 'Likes' they decorate the mind
My pen starts to find

To pen
With
Ease
It's so cosy I lie on the bed
anticipating a good sleep.
Feeble resonating sound
starts to intensify
Hovering it goes.
So scary is

Word has Power
Word has power, changes never
A gift that remains forever
The word of God is well defined
Each page I turn, more peace I find
Free boon that comes from the Grower

Grower asks nothing in favour
A boon for every believer
I encash to get peace of mind
Word has power

For mind and soul it adds flavour
Supports in every endeavour
An eye opener and so kind
Word enlightens every mankind
Thank you Lord you are a giver
Word has Power

Drizzle-Fizzle
Drizzle-Fizzle is very beautiful. 
Love is in the air. Wonderful. 
Walking a lonely path alone 
Pitter-patter sounds are well known. 
I can hear some whispers, which is delightful. 

Drizzle, tell me stories that are meaningful. 
That makes me very cheerful.
When I am crossing the love zone. 
Drizzle-Fizzle 

Fizzle-spluttering is immutable. 
Sprinkle is irresistible. 
Gentle feelings are of my own. 
Independently, they are grown. 
Petty things are so bountiful.

Fine Reunion
A fine reunion is happening. 
Fantastic! a nice gathering.

The heart sings beautiful melodies.

Past photos are mesmerising. 
Looking at photos gives me no worries. 
We united here despite life's challenges.

I found some time and came out searching. 
We gathered here in the US, in New Jersey.
Memories will remain treasures.

Fight Poverty
One lacks many things in community. 
Survives mostly with anxiety. 
Poverty is the word for that. 
To overcome it, education is a must. 
All should drink water without impurities.
 
Everybody should donate to charity. 
Then an amount can be spent with certainty. 
Employment gives a lot of trust.

Should be taken care of with some trust. 
In a democracy, what should we entrust? 
Remove poverty with more clarity.

Jasmine's so loved
Floral sweetness is breezy and pleasing.
Jasmine's is very exciting.
Aromatic flowers are cream-white.
Intoxicating, that's their right.
Yes, jasmine is more promising.

Stands for modesty, as its procalming
And also for love, as saying
The flowers stand a bet at night. 
Jasmine's, so loved.
 
Used to cure cancer, its curing 
For liver diseases, many are using 
Medical users use it as a diet. 
Many foods are baked with insight. 
For me, its fragrance is haunting. 
Jasmine's so loved.

Microbes- Humans
Humans and microbes have a close connection. 
Microbes are as numerous as they mention.
They outnumber our own cells by 10 to 1.
Humans are superior germs and stand no. 1.
Though no. 1, we'll have to pay attention.

Microbes and humans have variations. 
Both are cell structures in orientation. 
Microbes are dominant, and they stun

Bacteria are found everywhere in the nation. 
Humans have an *****-level organisation.
Microbes have more survival abilities than anyone. 
But we need a supportive system or someone
We should take care to reach our destination.
