Five Sainos on Luck by Toya Nath Chapagain

1-

A non written document,

Deployed on human sentiment,

Assuming as inner contentment.

2-

Luck is different to all,

Neither it is noisy nor calm,                

Supposed to be living in a palm,

3-

Karma displays our fortune,

It depends upon our karma,

Luck is captivated by karma.

4-

Luck has its own shape and line,

Luck favours a person to shine,

With karma as its master design.

5-

Our willingness of action,

Determines our fate and future,

With continuous entanglement.

Five Sainos on Pen by Khemlal Pokhrel

SAINOS IN ALL VERSE FORMS
[7-8-9 Syllabled Micro-poems]

(1)

It's a marvel of the pen

That draws lines from the core of hearts

And does travel all parts of the world.

(2)

I have grown with fond of pen

Like the lion with its own den

What to say, like the chickens for hen!

(3)

Pen is held by young and old

Making the psyche slowly bold

Penetrating the cosmos as whole!

(4)

Pen is mightier than sword

It can kill all vanity too

With no physical touch, but with word.

(5)

Pen has atomic power

If we do wrong to mishandle

It burns the world like burning candle!

Three Micropoems by Jyotirmaya Thakur

The Key 

All we love is turned to ashes 

Dead flowers tied with indigo 

Shimmering alone in the tree 

Is the key to my heart.

□

Quest 

I don't see you 

And you never see me 

Until we take to the sky 

Where the view is best 

The moon and stars 

Enlighten our quest. 

□

Test 

We are souls on a journey 

Life is our test 

Till our weary souls 

Take a brief rest

In Heaven or Hell.

The Tiger, A Micropoem by Jaipreet Grover

I was just a common tiger

Desire to gulp you

For years absorbed in penance

But, you freed me

Made me your vehicle

My head bows for Goddess Durga, fervently for you!

Saino Poems by Bishnu Prasad Bhattarai

The common normal aspects 

Approximate a great message

The spring season fascinates all.

(Free Verse)

□

By her natural passion

The river hijacks the tenants

Many of them bear lifelong distress.

(ABB)

□

The summer job sails the dirt

The howling winds remove the dust

And beautifully washes the floor.

(AAB)

Natural brooms cultivate

The softer sidlings to blossom 

Brutal hands damage the public shrine.

Saino Poems by Jean C Bertrand

Perhaps butterflies will sing

Fancifully spreading its wings

A lovable rendezvous in spring.

She smiles, standing high and tall

Looking forward to dance in fall

Easy-to-read not crying at all.

Five Questionku by Jaipreet Grover

She runs the world

Gives birth to all lives

Why does she need to prove?

□

Move with one step

At a time in life

Why to rush for success?

□

Kids are angels

Lit up every home

Do we need just a son?

□

Nature blossoms

Give treasures sans break

What’s your contribution?

□

Flashy is smart

Makes castles atop

Why for sleep comfort tops?

Micropoems by Dr. Archana Pandey

Fight 

Raining eyes

and thundering mind,

Makes it harder

way to find.

Who is true 

and what is right,

Brain is storming

in this fight.

□

Heart is Beating 

You and you!

and only you!

Life of love is

filled in you!

Heart is beating

high and high!

"What is love"

you ask me why!

BLAZING SUN 

The blazing sun smiles 

Shining from the distant miles 

I love the brightness 

It brings positivity 

To energise up my day.

Sunrise in golden splendour 

Smiling happily 

Relish the charm and beauty 

Of each wonderful moment.

Saino Poems by Sunita Grover Raina

Butterfly
Butterfly who wants to be
They sometimes push death pins in me
Lepidopterists please set me free.
□
Lips 
Lips cupids bow that vibrates
the strings of hearts for love music
and them to savour as sweet wine fates.
□
Love
You stopped for dead words tolling
Had you heard the sound of my soul
Bells were chiming and heaven calling.

Micropoems by Fady Bouaz

The Sun and the Moon 
From the glow of the sun
The beautiful moonlight 
The sun illuminates the moon 
By her love kisses to him 
The sun and the moon 
Light up our world 
By their love relationship 
Since their inception!
□
The Best Kind of Love 
The sun and the moon are 
in a great love relationship 
But they can never meet 
For this 
The love without hope is 
the best kind of love! 
□
Go to My Grave 
Your beautiful eyes are 
killing me
Shoot the arrows of love 
in my heart
I'm dying in love 
with you my dear love
Until I die 
and go to my grave!
