Bamboo trees soar high
Constant growth in absent pride
Rain or sun, it thrives
In Adversity, it bends
In strongest storms, it survives.

Unforgiveness

To not forgive is bitter root

That grows with enveloping tendrils

That grasp the heart and fruit

Therein distress of soul and ill will.

That's Write (Cinquain)

Weaving
Laced vivid words
Like dreams coloring life
Thoughts painted on paper canvas
...A poem.

Greed (Cinquain)

Vultures
Perched in office
Feed on bloated paychecks
Decayed people not carrion yet
Fight back.

Elections (Naani form)

Choices make or break
A country's life at stake
Votes when sold like merchandise
The contract signed, a nation's demise.

Thunder breaks Silence
as rain blankets the green fields
Earth drinks the bounty
the Bamboo bends with the wind
...swaying, but it does not break.

Beautiful

Beauty of face is fleeting
But the mystery of a brilliant mind,
Engaging.

Beauty of the heart is gold
Its value increases with age,
Fulfilling.

Poetic Canvas (Naani)

Blank space
Drinks of colored words
Flow with the writer's pen, his brush
Splashed a rainbow hued masterpiece.

Rainbows (Cinquain)

Rainbows
Span endless sky
Through distant lands and seas
Colors connecting you and I
With peace.

Exaltation (Naani)

This truth abounds -
Empty vessels make the most noise
While the filled ones
Know how to silence their own sound.
