Barathon, Barathon2018, mind, poem

a web of thoughts,
in disarray
a scene to avoid
to stay sane
though I like to play with them
at times
delving deep into my mind’s alleys
untangling knots
of thoughts
rather an exercise of sorts
the messy rendezvous
however, pushes me with a jolt
to cut the chord and never return
but, this mind so sly
never is shy
to immerse in the labyrinth of chaos
thus continues the messy affair
to narrate tales
to recite verses
the crazy mind conjures!

Above verse is written for Day 7 of BarAThon hosted by Blog-A-Rhythm inspired by the prompt “Seven Year Itch”.

Stepping stone to her success, she calculated

Betrayal, he cried

Fleeting longevity of fame, she misjudged

cheers-839865_960_720

Quick and easy,
This life never is,
Riddled with hurdles,
Battles with hopes,
An endless novel,
The story of life goes on,
Chapters that can’t be rewritten,
Pages waiting to be filled in,
No pause button,
Neither can you rewind,
This is it, for better or worse,
Yet, I would say,
Give me five,
For this is the moment to celebrate,
Despite the chaos that lingers,
Struggles shall be sorted eventually,
Dilemmas won’t last forever,
A tribute to the many moments,
That splash a smile,
A prayer of gratitude in return,
Life is beautiful as we make it be!

Give me five

Barathon, Barathon2018, poem

There isn’t much I yearn,

A little time on my own,

To converse with musings that chance my way,

To pen down some that happen to stay,

In solitude, I create a world thus,

Without traveling the four corners of the world that is,

However, it remains dear to me always,

Though, musings abandon me at times,

A figment of my imagination all this, you may cite,

My favorite of all, this world, despite!

Above poem is written for Day 4 of Barathon hosted by Blog-A-Rhythm inspired by the prompt “Four Corners of the World”.

Sanya was bubbling with frustration as her sister brought home the latest iPhone on the first day it was available in the market. She could never understand Seema’s fascination for electronic gadgets just as much Seema failed to understand her sister’s craze for books.

The twin sisters couldn’t be any more different. One loved books and filled her room with author signed copies while the other loved gadgets and was on a mission to own the latest technology gadgets.

However, Sanya was certain that no one needed three smartphones, not even her crazy sister.

Barathon2018, Haiku, poem

off-road-buggy-517311_960_720

Oft bitter failures
give one too many reasons
to chase sweet success!

Too many obstacles not to pursue further,

Discouraging rationale without failure,

How long can one succumb to defeat!

It’s not time to yield and depart!

Not when success allures from distance!

What if perseverance pays off at last!

Another attempt deserves a try,

Perhaps, the best shot waiting to be freed!

Reflection And Revelation (2)

Joining Day 1 of Barathon presented by Blog-a-rhythm with a mix of haiku and poem combining the prompt – one too many and the theme – run/chase/marathon/sprint/dash.
