Mother’s Day Poem -dedicated to Maa :)


नौका मेरी भटके जब भी
माँ, तुम ही मेरा किनारा हो,
अंधेरा मुझे घेरे जब भी
राह दिखाता तुम वो उजियारा हो;
नींद ना आए मुझको जब भी
सुलाता तुम वो आसमाँ सारा हो,
थककर हारुँ मैं जब भी
मुझको चलातीं तुम वो धारा हो।

नौका मेरी भटके जब भी
माँ, तुम ही मेरा किनारा हो,
माँ, तुम ही मेरा किनारा हो।

Poem: “My battle”


Today’s Prompt:  Find a shortish poem that you like, and rewrite each line, replacing each word (or as many words as you can) with words that mean the opposite.
So, here’s my poem that possesses the same meaning of the poem as that of original poem but the words replaced have opposite meanings. For this I rewrite the Poem “Life’s Own Battle” by Emma Jackson. You can read it here.

Wanted concord
yet you repress peace
Each time I praised you made me weaker than now
I will hold out
I will hold up
You will make me rise
I will make you give up

Poem: “Blue Vision”


What my eyes see above
A blue ocean lost in fog,
And floating clouds on it
Tired, slowly-slowly jog;

Blue the wind rushes
Blue the roses jingle,
And blue the swallows over my head
pass and mingle;

What my eyes see above
A blue ocean lost in fog,
And below beside me
sits a blue frog;

Blue the grass
Blue my shoes,
And then remember I
put off my goggles blue.

Poem: “As you sow so shall you reap” (Prompt: “Proverbial Poem”)


Whose outmost is always success
Working hands those never rest,
“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop”
which fails in every test;
After sundown,those who rise
Opportunities fade and they only weep
And its always correct that is said-
“As you sow so shall you reap”

A cactus is watered when
Neither from it, flowers are born,
nor any fruits arise from it
Only it grows with its thorns;
Labour turns stones into gold
but sloth changes it into straw’s heap
As its always correct that is said-
“As you sow so shall you reap”

Wakeful minds never give up
Defeats give up on their only way,
Stronger is their bond of Hope
That success is a little far away;
Sweeter we tasted,honey of busy bees,but
Can monkey’s mother ever be a sheep?
So, its always correct that is said-
“As you sow so shall you reap”

Poem: “Hard Stones” (Poetry Form: “Haiku”)


On this endless way
Daily roamer are strong winds
Only hard stones stand
