Regrets
Some plague like dreams recurring
Throbbing pain of repetitions
That nag the mind in varied notions -
Those regrets.

The Little Priest
Met a little priest
He kneels in constant duty
Never goes amiss
With petitions, ceaselessly
Reverend Praying Mantis!

Adversity
Hammer pounding down
On life's anvil man is honed
By his afflictions.

Patience (Naani)
Eyes fixed steady
Ears marked for slightest sound
Nostrils catching all scent of prey
As cat claws strike the poor mouse.

Petals graced with dew
demure in simplicity,
sprightly fiery hues
catching one's sight perfectly,
Oh, the magical daisy!

Generations
If parents are the craftsmen
Mold children into jewelry
Such work I may conclude, for then
Grandchildren are the filigree.

In silence of night
Lingers placid Solitude
Her hours still and mute
And most gentle is her mood
Being alone... not lonely.

Artless (Cinquain)
Sadness
Paints bleak portraits
Of Pain, where dreams became
Achromatic images...when
You lied.

A Short Poem Like Ogden's
Perhaps because
Of too high taxes
A man dropped his plane
At the IRS.

I Object, Your Dishonour
When those who pledge and swear
To hold the scales of Justice fair
Of themselves Corruption wear
Address him 'Your Dishonour, Sir'
