Some may consider you a pagan god
But you are the most handsome lord
You are blue in colour
And are invincible in valour

You reared the cattle
But led a pierce battle
You are the darling of shepherd women
And you are undoubtedly supra human
You play the flute with divine melody
No poet can extol your musical prosody
You are a thief of butter
No one can describe you better

Like Jesus you were born in a cattle shed
Your divine word the whole world spread
You are most romantic and highly philosophic
You are beyond the purview of any religious critic

SHE IS NOT MY LOVER
She lives in the far off west
But her poems I consider to be the best
She writes with such an ease
That my gloom she will instantly release

She is not my lover
But my spiritual giver
I remember her for ever
She is a poetic tower

I live in the corner of the east
For my heart and soul her poetry is a feast
She has not even seen my face
I will try to compete with her in the poetic race
I know I am a tiny toy in space
But I will continue to adore her for her poetic grace
This poem is to bridge the gulf between east and west and man and woman

SHE AND I
When I ***** in the dark
Her poetry strikes me like a divine spark
When bored , she gets me to her poetic park
If I feel totally depressed
Her poetry makes me completely refreshed
When I lose my hope, she becomes my pope

When I suffer from thirst
Her poetic juice does she ******
When I pine for hunger
She comes to me like a classical singer
And gifts me her poetic plum
And makes me blissfully calm

When I suffer from insomnia
She comes to my bed
And lulls me to sleep
When I awake from sleep
Through the window does she peep
Because of her many divine benefits I reap
She follows me day and night
And makes my life spiritually bright

WHAT IS IN A NAME?
What is in a name?
If it gets a lot of fame
Satan writes poems like God
Raskal is a wise poet
Viper is  abeautiful poetic creeper
Crystal Heart’s poetry is really very smart
Dawn to dusk writes poems with a great twist
One may be called with a beautiful name
His life might be full of shame
Some write poems with many fictitious names
The fellow poets call them by names
Your soul is more important than your so called name
Life is a mysterious and miraculous game
We leave this mythical world after playing our parts
Our aim should be winning more and more noble hearts

I AM A MAN OF GREAT PLUCK
I am a man of great pluck
I rarely believe in luck
From the bottom I try to reach the peak
And try to know where I am weak

I know I am greater than I think I am
And try my level best to be calm and warm
And I have the courage to face any fierce storm
Encourage myself by beholding nature’s charm

I know trials and tribulations are very common
And I have to face them courageously as man
I am not worried about my life span
And try to live as best as I can

I do believe in cosmic power
And try to climb the spiritual tower
Nature gives me the ability to recollect
And soI stretch my every nerve to be perfect

I AM AN INCOMPARABLE QUEEN
I am an incomparable queen
My pristine beauty can only be seen
It can never be depicted in words
For me many kings draw out their swords

My lips are more beautiful than rose petals
And my hips are softer than jasmine bouquets
One may die looking at my bubbly *******
No wonder the kings want to enter my interior crusts

My eyes are lovelier than wild lilies
My hair flows on my shoulders like rivers
My waist makes a feast to beholders’ eyes
The cupid shoots at me the wreaths of flowers

But only a brave king enters the kingdom of my beauty
For him I devotionally discharge my romantic duty
And dedicate my body, heart and soul
That should be any woman’s natural goal

I AM A PURE VIRGIN
I am a bunch of grapes
Squeeze me into juice
And drink me to quench your thirst

I am a tasty plantain
Peel me and swallow
Me to satiate your hunger

I am a jasmine flower
****  my nectar
Like a buzzing bee

I am huge mountain
Climb me like a mountaineer
And reach the highest peak

I am a deep valley
And ****** deep into me
To fathom my inexplicable beauty

I am a pure ******
Don’t miss my eternal kiss
Hug me like a hissing snake
And have the divine bliss
This poem is dedicated to all lovers on this VALENTINE DAY

What a poet is.
A poet is an ordinary human being
But he always thinks of others’ well being
He often grapples with the problem of rhyming
And aims to post his poem with great timing

A poet usually writes with great passion
And he is a  person of great emotion
He may have certain personal blemishes
But he tries to write with beautiful flourishes

A poet promptly responds to what happens around
Her knowledge of the world is very sound
She lives with the quite common man
But thinks like a superman and supra human

A poet has great social responsibility
He tries to present the reality
He may suffer from vanity
But he is never devoid of humanity

THE DOS AND DONTS OF A POET
A poet should have a noble soul
Cheating should be never his/her goal
Winning a competition is not so important
As the means you have adopted to get it

A poet should be noble
His thoughts shall not wobble
Poetry soothes even a torn heart
But fake poetry kills the spirit apart

A poet should disclose his/her identity
Otherwise he/she becomes a fake entity
You may write with a nick or pen name
But you should stick to it for your fame

A poet must not write with too many fictitious names
The other poets can no longer be the fools
They will instantly recognize your deformity
And hate your shameful profanity
The poem is not intended to hurt anybody but I am totally upset with fake poetry on all popular poetic sites,I really hate fake poems and poets

POLITICS IN DEMOCRACY
India is the biggest democratic state
The voters always decide her fate
The fate of a political party depends on its popularity
The powerful and tactful party gets the majority

One party discusses the construction of Rama’s temple
Its political, hidden agenda is very simple
The other parties talk about secularity
It always tries to woo the considerable minority

The other leftist parties often talk about the poor
But they never get their votes for sure
Before the election liquor flows like a river
Voters get money notes in a beautiful cover

The luckiest party grabs the power
The elected members try to climb the tower
Corruption seems to be the order of the day
No part is likely to show the right way

In democracy, parties are meant
To be different. But that is not quite apparant

THE QUEEN OF ALL SPEAKERS
I am an English teacher. Aren’t I?
Every body likes you. Don’t they?
Or doesn’t he? What is this?
Am I making unnecessary fuss?

You are still the lover of only the class
Will you ever be the darling of the mass?
If somebody knows you, he becomes a boss.
If anybody ignores you, she will be at a loss

You are difficult to spell
The only thing we do is to yell
Your  description is mere hammer
But you have a lot of glamour

You are expanding like the universe
Even a foolish poet like me writes your verse
You are the queen of all speakers
And will surely stay for all ages

I AM A CHILDISH MAN
When I sleep in the dark
*****  try to wake me up
But I don’t listen
The sun enters my bed
And touches me with his warm hands
Then I wake up from my slumber
This has been happening since my childhood
I was a student forty years ago
Now I am a teacher student
Still I go to the same school
I was a child forty years ago
Now I am father to two children
I think I am a childish man
My roles have changed
But my behaviour hasn’t
I think the basic nature of a child
Doesn’t change even it turns into  a man or a woman
Because child is the father of man
This poem is written just for a change.I don't think it is a poem at all

POETS ARE REALLY FOOLS
Poets are really fools
They always think of others
And want to change this huge world
With their tiny insignificant word

They can never control their emotions
And try to swim like fish in the oceans
They want to cross the nations
And try to create some sensations

They try to fly like birds
With their imaginary feathers
They want to talk about all weathers
Poets are really fools

They want to live like honest men and women
Forgetting that this world is corruption prone
They want  to transcend all barriers
And are  even ready to ruin their careers
Who will listen to their sane words?
Poets are undoubtedly fools

I SHED MY INCESSANT TEARS
Where have you gone my friend?
I am shocked to know about your untimely end
You have always given us  YOUR wonderful heart
How can we forget your poetical art?

You lived in India for many years
Your demise causes US inconsolable tears
Death is a cruel and gruesome monster
His ways are always sinister

The poetic world has stopped for a while
Our faces are totally devoid of any smile
I don’t still believe your demise is true
I can never forget you and your view

As a poet you have no spiritual death
You might have left this transitory earth
In our hearts you always get re-birth
Nobody can redeem your immeasurable worth

Your tomb is unfortunately not very near
But I shed my incessant tears here
You always dwell in my heart dear
I listen to your sane voice very clear
This poem is written and dedicated to my friend PADDY MARTIN OF AUSTRALIA.May his soul rest in peace!I extend my heartfelt condolences to the members of his bereaved family
with tears

I LIVE FOR ONLY ONCE
I know in this world I live for only once
I have determined not to lead a life of a dunce
There should be some meaning for my life
It is not at all a matter of a great hype

Real happiness lies in making others happy
For me that is the greatest winning trophy
When I leave this transitory world
I leave my image and fly like a bird

Unless I do something for the society
I can’t be considered a living entity
I may not become  a great sage
But in history I should find a page

I have inevitably resorted to philosophy
Only it can make me divinely happy
I came to this world empty handed
And leave this world When I am totally stranded

THE BARD OF AVON
Oh! The bard of Strataford Avon
You beautifully painted the journey of man
you are the best poet in the world
the poetic muse wrote for you the word

you are the greatest dramatist of all ages
the critics have written pages and pages
your poetry is a sheer joy
even the poetic muse becomes a tiny toy

your wonderful skill is tragedy
but your natural instinct is comedy
your clown speaks wonderful truths
but your king is surrounded by heinous coups

You wrote with a gold pen
And painted the real men and women
I am your true fanatic
You are the world’s greatest critic

A PLEA TO GOD
Oh !God, let my heart be crystal clear
Free it from any kind of fear
Let it fly like a dove
And have the mercy even the foes to love

Let my brain be a computer chip
my imagination to climb the highest cliff
let my mind have many a door
through which many creative ideas pour

Let my soul be as pure as butter
Even the lightest sin makes it flutter
Let me freed from the narrow domestic walls
And let me travel on broad humanitarian halls

I am worried about my non-conscious falls
Only you can save me from my pit falls
You are really my breath and soul
Without your blessings I can never be the whole

CLUB, HUB, WEB, HUBBUB
HELLO POETRY is the best poetic site in the world
It allows the poets to disseminate their magical word
Which flies like an ever flying and everlasting bird
Whose beautiful and delightful wings does it spread

Camille Frick is a linguistic wonder
Chris is a literary and poetical wonder
Yelena M is a musical rhythmic beauty
Reading which is my professional duty

Rue is somewhat naughty
But in her hearts of hearts she is a sweety
Neva Flores is a poetic muse
Whose poetry I involuntarily choose

I am happy to be a member of this prosody club
Our creativity revolves round this magnetic hub
We are indebted to this wonderful web
Writing poetry is a kind of hubbub
I am sorry not to include all the names of my fans on this site.I will surely write a poem on all of them soon.This poem is dedicated to all the well wishers of my poetry and me

THE POET HAIKU
The best ever poet
In this vast universe is
God the ALLMIGHTY
I am one of the best poets on the site
On any subject I can write.
I may lack Neva Flores poetic grace
Or Rue’s literary or linguistic ace

I may lack Denis Barter’s classical touch
I am as useful as telephone hutch
My poetry is as simple as a common man’s speech
It is within every reader’s easy reach

In the literary circle I have considerable space
In my friends’ heart some cordial place
I don’t know much about meter
But  I can write a poem on electrical heater

Some poets think My poetry sounds Victorian
I am undoubtedly not a sectarian
Some critics may feel my poetry is out dated
I think it might have been over rated

I am an instinctive and innovative poet
I am at the threshold of becoming great
If you think I am right bless me
If you think I am boasting curse me
This poem is just for fun.My opinion about fellow poets is true.It is not fun

A POET'S POEM
Can a poet write a poem
For the sake writing a poem?
I think he will certainly can
But it becomes mere fun

A poet needs to be emotionally touched
His creativity is incredibly recharged
A beautiful poem is instantly released
And the reader is immeasurably pleased

Unless something touches his heart
There can be no creation of everlasting art
Spontaneous overflow of emotions is poet’s natural part
It makes his poems immensely smart

A poet can't always write at his best
He needs to pass the readers' test
If jaded, he needs considerable rest
His poem becomes  the seeting sun in the west

FRIENDSHIP AND THE SUN
Good friendship is like noon sun
Looks smaller in the beginning
But grows bigger and bigger by evening

Bad friendship is like morning sun
Looks bigger in the beginning
But gets smaller and smaller by noon

It is better to have fewer friends
And to retain them for life
Than have many friends
And lose one by one soon

A friend doesn’t happen on a face book
He/she should grow in our heart
Like a plant in earth
Which grows bigger and bigger
And branch out for posterity and eternity

WOMAN HAIKU
woman has a man
but not a man a woman

Caste in India is a dense forest
Ambedkar  wanted to make it a plain
And tried his best to abolish it in right earnest
But he knew full well that he was in vain

If one wants to cut a poisonous plant
The other shouts like a maddening giant
The environmentalist feels deforestation is dangerous
So the re-forestation makes him curious

The wise believe deforestation is a myth
The roots are so entrenched in earth
The trees will continue to branching out and out
And grow and grow to a greater height

RURAL FAIRIES' PLANTATION
Rural fairies with their soft hands plant the corn
To make the black earth green
And turn it into a delightful scene
The green corn turns yellow in the morn

The corn sprouts from the earth
Like Jesus gets eternal re-birth
The farm becomes greenery
I wonder at nature’s nice scenery

The earth becomes a green carpet
And becomes astonishingly beautiful to look at
Plantation of corn is nature’s great citation
It becomes a golden carpet in rotation

I wonder at the beauty of plantation
It is more beautiful than Keats’ quotation
More enjoyable than any musical sensation
I think it’s God’s mysterious revelation

Oh! My dear child
Your ways are so wild
You **** my milk
And kick my breast

Oh! My dear plant
I give birth to you
But you make cracks in my heart
I think it is nature’s part

Oh! My dear eagle
You kick me with all your force
And soar high into the sky
You need to kick me to fly high

Oh! my dear human beings
He tried to serve you
But you tried to severe Him
Your ways are always cruel
But His ways are eternally Royal
You should eventually wait for His trial

THE SEASONAL HARVEST
I adore the seasonal harvest
To our eyes it makes a feast
The sun rays make the golden corn
A delightful and lovely morn

The corn bends with the grain
In a soft flowing breeze and rain
And looks like a beautiful woman with  gold ear rings
My heart and soul naturally and delightfully sings

After the harvest women carry the mounds on their head
Like the angels in heaven beautifully and gracefully tread
When the corn is thrashed to the floors
It looks like a heap of golden pearls
What a joy to be a farmer!
And to behold nature’s graceful corner!

MOTHER EARTH
The greatest blessing for a woman is to be a  mother
Like a tree grew up from the earth
A child comes out from the womb of a mother
Only a woman can give all of us birth

Mother is as patient as our holy hand
Who bears with all impurities of humans
But remains pure and cool with her loving hand
She is beautiful in all seasons

Mother may be young, middle aged or old
But her heart is really made of gold
Without earth there is no nature
Without mother nor is any human future

A child may go away from mother’s breast
As a tree’s roots are entrenched in earth’s crest
His/her leanings are in mother’s hearty grace
That is the beauty of human race

SHE IS A POETIC MUSE
She is a poetic muse
Her poems I always choose
Like an electrical fuse
She sends out great power
And like a sprinkling shower
She makes me shiver
A perennial river
Who has cosmic power
She sits at the tower
From her wonderful quiver
She shoots the arrows of flower
Like an angel’s delightful wings
Her writings are imperishable sayings
She is a divine rose
And makes me doze
Her poetry is intoxicating wine
Far brighter than sunshine
She is lovelier than moonlight
And makes our souls bright
She comes from heavenly light
To cause all of us great delight
She belongs to the universe
And is immortal in her verse
I sit at her tender feet
Wondering at her poetic feat
Let us all give her a big hand
As she makes our lives so grand
She is a nectar ******* bee
Could you guess who that muse could be?
Some thnk it is mere flattery and others may appreciate it.This is a poem on poetic muse.It may be personal or universal.This poem is appliicable to all those who write verse

THE ROMANTIC FEVER
I am just twenty
And am a nice  girl
I was sweating in the moon light
And shivering in the sunlight
Sweet tastes sour
And sour tastes sweet
The day looks night
And the night looks the day
I consulted a physician
Who prescribed all tests
And diagnosed nothing
Then I consulted a psychiatrist
Who asked me “do you have a boy friend”
Yes .I do .I replied
He diagnosed my problem as romantic fever.
I asked for the remedy.
He said, "The prescription is simple
:Marry the boy you loved
And spend the day and night with him.
You will surely be cured”

you are the greatest king
You are the greatest king
Who adorns the golden cart
Studded with sparkling diamonds
Pulled by a divine horse
Of imagination and innovation
Which pulls the silvery
Wheels of images and figures

The horse is running
Through villages,cities
And different nations
And  he likes to fly
Even into the sky
With its gifted wings
And doesn’t want to take rest
As it  is galloping at its best

MAKING LOVE WITH A DAME
When I was sleeping soundly yesterday night
You entered my bed room through the window
And caressed my whole body with your soft hands

When I awoke I was surprised to see your
Angelic beauty and milky white
You looked like a silvery dame

I followed you leaving my wife on bed
I wanted to make love with you the whole night
But you hid yourself behind the thick of trees

When I came to the trees
You disappeared into the clouds
Leaving me alone in the dark

You came out after a while to make love with a star
And deserted me and leaving me alone afar
I came back to my bed disillusioned
And spent a sleepless night

GOD'S MUSIC AND MAGIC
Shall I sing my telugu sonorous song
Which will stay for so long?
Like the cool breeze it touches your every part
And like any great art it surely soothes your heart

Have you ever heard of the great Bards
Annamayya and kshetrayya who sang
With a lot of godly emotion
And inexpressible passion?

I am very proud of my culture and song
Which will definitely make you throng
Your song may be sweeter and fine
But I like my song because it’s mine

God is undoubtedly music
We can’t understand his magic
Music is really intoxicating and divine
It is much more tranquilizing than  even French wine

JESUS HAIKU
Christ was/is a holy and kind Son
But not all his so called disciples or followers
It is true of all religions
Only for the child does exist the school
Forgetting this, a teacher becomes a fool
He should always be very cool
And should never try autocratically to rule

A child is not a blank paper
He is the knowledge creator
And he/she is not an empty slate
But he/she is incredibly great

A teacher should never underestimate the child
And never believe his behaviour is so wild
A child is not an insignificant creature
He has got an inestimable bright future

Learning doesn’t happen by mere teaching
It happens by observing, experimenting
Meaning making, exploring and experiencing
A teacher shouldn’t resort to child’s fault finding

The frequency of the teacher and the taught must be the same
Then the teacher gets an unbelievable name and fame
The difference between teaching and learning gets lost
The language construction and knowledge creation becomes so vast

WHAT IS REAL BEAUTY?
What is real beauty? is difficult to define
We may find it if our manners are fine
You can see it even in a poor man’s sweat
Or in an innocent baby’s taking rest

Beauty is more inside than outside
External beauty may give us temporary delight
But internal beauty is the real light
It is soul’s inexpressible blissful plight

Beauty is not a thing of permanence
It’s a matter of mere relativity
It may lead us to excessive vanity
Real beauty lies in purity

Your body and mind should be pure
You will feel internal beauty for sure
You can see beauty in unselfish duty
God’s eternal duty is the only real beauty

WHAT IS REAL HAPPINESS?
Happiness is a state of mind
One can get it by only being kind
You may not get it in riches
But may find living near ditches

You can’t get happiness by enjoying yourself
But you can get it by extending others help
Real Happiness lies in contentment
It does not lie in unethical merriment

There is enough for every one’s need
But not for everybody’s greed
You should respect your neighbour
And help him with your possible labour

Our life on earth is a mystery
We should find a page in history
All of us will inevitably go far away
Only our good things will eternally stay

We should win some victory for humanity
Only that makes us go near divinity
We may not be great men of charity
But on the poor and the needy we should take pity

THE DEATH OF A POET
Like an ant which dies
When it bites a man
You will die the moment
You write a poem

The ant doesn’t live again
But you live in the heart
And soul of  us when
we read your poem

Like God your poem
Is an abstract idea
Rather than a concrete thing
we interpret IT in our own way

You wipe out our tears,
console our fears
incite ,ignite, instruct
delight and even confuse us

Like Jesus rose from the dead
You rise again and again
In the human intellect
And live for posterity and eternity

THE SELFISH GOD OF FRAUD
Before the election
Like a poor beggar you
Come to us with your
Folded hands, sweet words
Magical tricks and alluring
promises. You swear to bring
heaven to earth FOR US

After the election you
Will build a temple for
Yourself and become
A god of fraud in the sanctum
and bless only the rich, mighty
and the powerful  as they offer
you lucrative offerings and
bribe the priest with luring
gifts and gold coins

The poor and the oppressed
Have to wait outside
the corridors of the temple
in an unending queue
lamenting their fate and
your broken promises
WE  know you are a
selfish god of fraud
of only the rich and the mighty
The flowers of honesty and sincerity
Are being crushed under the corruptive
Wheels of the powerful chariot
Only an earth quake can shake it
And make it sink deep into
earth’s deepest crust

Even the mighty rocks
Can feel the tremor
Which shakes their
Very foundation
And shatter their confidence
And the pride of their
Imperishability

The hawks, eagles, vultures
And other predators
Will be perished in the
Fury of impending tempest
Which is inevitable
When there is a huge
Depression in the ocean
India is famous for many things.Corruption is one of them
