Micropoems by Subhashchandra B. Adhav

Mother 

No dictionary can either 

Entail or accommodate 

The meaning of Mother, 

As the Mother herself is 

An intrinsic epic rather, 

Such a noble spiritual icon

Beyond the scope of the lexicon!

□

Baby 

Baby! 

an epitome of divine grace 

Slowly started 

gathering momentum and pace, 

Day by day got involved 

in the mundane race 

It brought it undesired disgrace!

□

Prayer

Prayer springs from 

The soul earnest 

It is a noble wish 

For welfare best,  

Prayer from heart 

Needs no art, 

For soulful journey 

It gives start!

Micropoems by Aruna Lakra

Autumn

I was green and beautiful 

My youth bloomed in the spring

Then came the gentle autumn 

Every leaf was a flower crowned 

My strength crumpled to the ground

Identity beautifully passes into grey ashes.

□

Flood

Heavens have raged 

Nature has outraged 

Human the annoyer

Blaming the gods as destroyer

Flood water covers the earth

Hope wisdom takes new birth.

□

Love

Strong hands  holding tight 

Fear and worry out of sight

Your love is my strength and anchor

Together we will fight and conquer 

Life's journey has taken its flight

Even though destination is not so bright.
