Good night after a sad day

Its always a
Good Night
after even the
worst day
of the world



Title from a Twitter post

There's something that likes flowers

One Vase

Two Bunches of Flowers

Four Vertical Crystal Edges

Stick Stalks

Geometry ends there

Curves flow

Each flower 

begins like anjali 

ends in a thread

Anjali a cup
formed by palms
When the palms
are full of flowers
its Pushpanjali
when the cup
is a flower
its a Calily

Something there is that doesnt love a wall

surprising number of memorable poems concern rocks

The Art of Painting

The Art of Painting
We always think
of painting as art
that there is an
art even in the activity
is instructive

I love miniature

To make mini columns

Things to do

She matched her
soft brush
to the spiky brush
her mouth open
teeth with the evil
one on the white
board of things to
do

Please Excuse this poem

What is your Apron?

In 'A is for Apron' introduction, Nathalie Mornu says "When I put on an apron, I feel transformed. the apron seems to channel everyone who's ever worn one before. I'm suddenly more efficient, more in charge, and totally up to the task before me .."

What people do after breakups

take pictures of them everyday
make a wooden cutting board

A poet is happy

when the poet can just say

or is a poets language
different
like a notary's

What  hurts?
holding your tablet with both hands

The head of a tripod

Did you know that the tripod
has a head
which wills to be corked
by any right sized
mount opening

The true spirit of Christmas

First there is anything
Say Christmas
And then its meaning is lost
then you talk of its spirit

A spirit lamp is what I think of
so the fun is limited?
the oil/alcohol runs out
til you find new wells
big well to small well

you heart swells with joy
and when it doesnt no more
you go to the true spirit

like with law
you say letter of the law
intent of the law
why wasnt the intent
in the letter?

No contents says the
iphone

When we get the true spirit
do we go back to
anything

spirit of love
do you go back
to noun or verb
or meaning of it.

The True Spirit of Christmas

Christmas warms us up to the familiarity of the same 'The Christmas' movie run on TV every year. Well two years ago.. 'Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus'.. was a new Christmas story for me. If thats so in the movie world. Book world too has its new additions each year. last year it was 'The Wondrous Tree' by Gramps Doodlebug.
This year's 'The True Spirit of Christmas' by Dorothy Thurgood Manning, a picture book with rhyming verse will make the readers reflect on why is Christmas so wonderful time. Yes we receive gifts but more fun than receiving is giving. The little girl in the story realises the value of making gifts with her own hands. The illustrations have a pleasant feel. All the gifts involved in the book can be used as craft projects too. A popsicle stick jewellery box is a cool idea.. so are the rest of the gifts. So not only do we appreciate the spirit of Christmas but we get to implement and share the joy should we want to make those gifts.
