Limerick : Ambitous

There once lived a man in the countryside,
Who had  really wanted to become a knight,
He practiced fighting in the morning,
Until very  late in the evening,
Sheepishly, he wanted the title without a fight.

Haiku : Silence

the sea so silent
where have all the glories gone?
the wave-breakers smile



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


the bees stop buzzing
the last tree kisses the ground
home, sweet home is gone

Haiku : The Path Of Memory

a long, lonely path
unchanged in many seasons
dreams were made here, once

My First Limerick

There was a girl who loved  buns
Devouring them and her life was fun
Her mom served cake instead
Which drove the girl very mad
She would rather go out and soak up the sun.

** This is my first attempt on limerick. It gives me the thrill in writing this one though it isn't up to the standard  of limericks I have read before.  I love the humour I find in them. I am also inspired  by my two good friends, Od and Omo, who have good hands in limericks. Please, check out their posts Limerick for Elf at Od's blog, and Limerick : Boss at Omo's.

Have fun and have a great Sunday! :)

Life's A Beauty

(i)
roses in full bloom
while the clock's hibernating
not a moment lost


(ii)
blue, yellow roses
the scent, undeniable
delighting my heart

All Eyes On Her

Spellbound

the glowing sky

a   beauty   emerges

enchantment since men walked the earth

 {{moonrise}}

awed  by  the  lovely  complexion

 utter silence intense

impressive look

ageless

East And West

 I

recall

you said

your nose bled

you couldn't stand the cold

for the first time,  your teeth were clattering

you felt the pang of missing home in the warmth of golden rays 

your mind flew thousand miles while you were clad in thick clothing even  though
 the heater was on day and night

six years was like yesterday, now you've got used to the new environment

surprisingly when you came back home, you complained

stepping out of the plane

you couldn't stand

the warmth

searing

you

I

write

this today

thinking of you

outside it is still drizzling

it looks like snow, cold  kisses my skin

imagination flies far,  if I were there, I'd feel I'm in a fridge

my teeth won't just clatter, they might get frozen, mom would get the fright of her life 
seeing the new me

I'm smiling now thinking of the uniqueness of life at two different places 

evening here but you're about to enjoy breakfast

wishing you a nice day

my dear sister

I really

miss

you

Let Not The Moment Pass

light of hope cascades
heaven opens all its doors
tarry not the time

tarry not the time
enchantment of the moment
fulfilling the soul
