Insight

Shade from the scorching sun, That distributes heat for fun, Helter-skelter run many a contour, Shelter in different proportion.   The tall palm, Gives stripes of cool and calm, Fanned leaves that dance, To the winds rhythmic prance.   The leaves that collectively weep, Gather near the trunk for a welcome sleep, The bulk of the green droop, Making the shadow dark and deep.   The wide canopy of the evergreen, Even heat find it tough to be seen, Under such a dense umbrella of broad verdure, The tint of the sun's gaze is somber.   A solitary man-made cross-hatch, Fills the concrete patch, Competing to provide adequate tint, Succeeding in blocking out the glint.   Together man and nature, Survive and nurture each other, A shadow screen to the weary to rest, A casted cover that push achievers to test.

Puckered face,  In two hues, Unsteady opening phase,  Afraid of blurting out the news, Unsure of its use, Of valour or unknown cues,  Of being placed with dignity,  Or casted away with discourtesy, Of adoring a deity,  Or left on street with pity, Of walking a fashion parade,  Or pinched in a 'will or wouldn't' charade, King of flowers emerge with warm gait, Only to be left to an uncertain fate.

A profusion of rippling blue, From pale to midnight hue, Ending at summit elevation. Sun glaring down on all to submission.   A tenacious existence, To counter all interference, A thriving tree among disturbance, A symbol of persistence.   A vision like sun’s penetrating gaze, A resolve like peak unfazed, Ideas travel on waves endless, Until one gathers roots regardless.   A plan sheltered by cumulus clouds, A proposition that birds hear as a shout, Intentions held upright by creek’s pebbles. A scheme in mind fighting all rubbles.

Good morning says the water lily, To anyone empowered today,  To all who begin afresh everyday, To people taking challenges willingly.  To the person who believes,  That, goodness is here to stay, That, happiness is perceived, Reminds the leaves that look like tray.

 Young petals of many colour,  Miniature versions of tempered grandeur,  Blossoms of careful cultivation, Of care and patience, Come together in their lifetime, Radiating beauty off all it chimes.

Morning presents a bouquet of opportunities, A display of pleasantries, A blend of colours,  In as many layers, Smaller flowers of slit chance, Sustaining life's romance, Hidden by grandeur of larger schemes,  Under the petals of cultivated dreams.

Three brothers at the ‘Hibiscus’, Three worlds mingle, To flap away stress, To laugh, that makes wings tingle.   Oldest came from a high nest, A cranny up in the city’s best, Old world adapted to eating diverse, On dust baths these sparrows converge.   Youngest flew in from the grasses tall. Vast open spaces with air so wild, Adapted to living like finches small, New world sparrow’s nature is mild. Seated between the brothers two, House sparrow swooped in from lands new, In the basin connecting two land mass, Flying where there are plains vast.

  Awake with the sun’s first ray, The flock is ready for the day, Flying into the new unknown, In search of images well known, A shoal of Shetlands, Taking off from the wetlands, Joined by a group of whistling ducks, During the days of summer winter cusp.

  Tree hanging out of the cliff, Branches searching the deep abyss, Tall palm peering the blue sky, Fanning the clouds till they cry, Runners flowing across the river, In and out of the rapid water, Then there are the wide old giganteum, Who cannot help, but look so glum! Shrubs competing with the veins to cover all land, Dinner plates over the water forming a band, Over the jungle, far and high, A covey of cranes fly by, Pecking on wet insects on the rocks, Content little egrets move as a flock, A cave on the riverside adds to the intrigue, The part of the jungle enveloped in mist and mystery.

  Subtle display of affection, Of artistic creation, A rosy expression, To bring about, cheery disposition, Thoughtful appreciation, On this day in life’s presentation.

 A breath of fresh air, A beginning with fanfare, Mindful eye rejuvenation, Surrounding the cold frozen exhibition,
