A place to rest
not just a ledge
to lie on
but fingertips
that surround you
and nestle you
prompt
What do you do when you have extra?

Yellow Butterflies and Mesquite Flowers
— pras (@bibli_pras) July 26, 2018
All the butterflies flit away
The yellow mesquite tree
now is green
The past few days
yellow mesquite flowers
are flying left and right
as we drive through
to relatives
and school
going from garden to garden
some broken
some collected
young and old

Shadow letters
A new building of a company
The letters of the name in
shadow type
The best of the sun
augments the name
with the
shadow beneath

Cinderella's little birds
If each of those clips
holding our clothes
from falling off the
line
or going away
with the wind
were a bird
fish, shark
or a snapping turtle
like the
little birds
opening cinderella's
curtains in the morning
would they do it every day?

On the morning drive
https://t.co/xKN1VM3kFu Haystacks like tombstones— pras (@bibli_pras) June 22, 2018
Equally spaced
quiet
You dont realise the field
till its gone
quiet
You dont realise the field
till its gone
At the end of the day
all tombstones gathered
in a place

Icicles in carrot
Icicles in carrot
Who made the holes
For the water to freeze
Some larvae
Water fills holes

Dress Design
A light pink jumper
with a pattern of
2 pink and a light blue
roses and small leaves together
intermittent smaller leaf pattern
The pattern was so becoming
it turned the whole fabric
into that pattern
breaking the monotony
and minimizing it
Is it easy for our brain to look
at little things?
Is that why we have designs?

Balloon Kite
We were nowhere
close to water
Yet soothing tides
bathed our feet
in no time winds
turned the
playdough in my hand
to a balloon that
started flying in the air
and I began
pulling at the string
like a kite
Palmistry
The playdough
a hand
I asked the hosts
how was it made
to have all the
tiny strokes of a
real hand
they said it was
a mold
close to water

Counting by Knuckles
On reading ' I have no trouble remembering
that September has thirty days..' in
on rhyme by Billy Collins
I recall a method my dad taught me
about assigning months to the
crests and troughs
of the knuckles and the space
in between
to know their lengths

Children's toys
A square
with four squares
2 by 2

A door
I tell my infant
I second guess
a window
Miniature
A giraffe

all limbs
stumpy
fused into
one mold

A Dream
The door opened
to a man in a
sea of chains
with akey
to the door
I was locked in
I was freed
without wishing
and twined
sparsely
back in black

Natural
I think of the seed events
popping up and wonder
if there is a
National Seed Swap Day
which there is
Jan 30th
But it also precedes spring
which is kind of natural

60 second science
The stopwatch
with its ring
a mouth
and the two
buttons as
its front feet
looks like a
tortoise

How letters change meanings
There is a one letter
difference between
duel and duet
There is not much
difference between
fuel and feud

Whose lunch was Gratis?
A friend
buys lunch
anonymously
for servicemen-
cops and firefighters
at restaurants
When it was time
for the cops
to pay their bill
The waitress said
"A lady paid for your
lunch"
The Lady only saw
one mans shirt
with POLICE
on it.

The Unintented Utility
I selected
a mini platter
as a gift
a ceramic one
with small and big
round alternating
indentations on it
The artist referred
to it as the
Soap dish
Her intended utility
for it
I am thinking small
squares of cheese on it

Foyer Table
with tapered legs
looks like an
animal
a Giraffe
The width
of the
foyer table
is the perfect
size of waist
of an anmal
I wanted to ask where the eyecare professionals got their furniture from. I noticed that other tables too had the same taper. These tables were old style with half side of cabinets and the other side open.
Next day a Macy's too, I noticed that they have the tapered legs on their furniture.
