Daily Prompts- Begone

Begone racism, scurry away to a dark corner

Where you and others like you belong

It is unfair, echoes the perfunctory sentiments

When faced with this deadly demon of inequality

Our words fall short of the experience that others feel

These typical responses won’t cut the deal this time around

We may be unready to herald this change right now

But the reality is that it’s way past the time for it

Take out the carcass of racism and bury it deep

Let not its’ specter escape, let’s get rid of it altogether

Daily Prompts- Sights and smells of past!

My memory often takes a walk in the past

The sights and smell of favorite places evoking redolence

Remembering the hustle and bustle of bygone days

Breath-less with excitement, running wild with happiness

Hand in the hand of that favorite uncle, who was simpatico

Cognizant of what a six year old would like to do

Taking me to the fair and letting me enjoy all that sticky food

In my memories I go a generation back when I was

A child myself, and not an aging relic that I am now

Daily Prompts- Forgotten

Her inky fingernails scribble on the canvas of life

What are her thoughts that she wants to tell us

Can you ascertain what goes on behind those eyes

That she has screwed shut against the ungracious world

Sitting under the antique pergola of deserted garden

She is waiting for someone to find her truth

Daily Prompts- Blessings

Trust and faith sometimes can be frangible

We pay penalty for losing hope with unhappiness

I would rather sing odes to the blessings which

I and my household are endowed with, innumerable

Nothing epic, all simple ordinary things I can count

But each and everyone one of them makes my heart stout

This gratitude starts the journey initially

And takes me to the road of marvelous discoveries

Frangible

Epic

Daily Prompts- A font of wisdom

He sits on that bench under the tree

Gently seeding young mind with wisdom

Children playing around him are now familiar

With his way of starting a conversation

He would come to their aid, his efficacy very valid

His knowledge a font of wisdom, a source of learning

It’s designed to help them unobtrusively without irritation

The children don’t even mind the occasional burp

Always looking for that gentleman in a purple shirt

Daily Prompts- Magical Chariot

Driving my car in those days of yore

I felt as if I had stepped into a magical chariot

It would take me seamlessly to my destination

I didn’t have to cajole or beg for favors

Just a discreet pressure on the paddle and off I went

Enjoying the rush of hot air in winter days

Or blast of cooling waves in summer drives

Sadly it has become a little passé with time

The novelty and wonder faded with constant exposure

How I would like to rekindle that sense of awe and wonder

Daily Prompts- Facelift

She averts her face coyly

I am too old for you to smicker at

It’s just this recent project of mine

That has led you to a false notion

This facelift makes me look far younger

Than my years and so you think, I am

Do reserve your passion and ardor

For someone your own age young man

This arbitrary and sudden passion is quite misplaced

I am old enough to be your grandmother

Daily Prompts- Teaching Grandma

He is a sweet boy

Precocious for his age

Knows far more about computers

Than I can ever hope to equal

He is always trying to educate me

I listen keenly, tuning in to all the technical lingo

Sometimes incurring his rightful indignation

When I fail to grasp a finer technical point

We move to our own space till he is over the mad

Something would tickle his funny bone and he would smile again

Back to teaching grandma computers again

Daily Prompts- Dreamer

Nefelibata, that is a difficult word to describe her

Why not simply say that she is a dreamer

With her head in the clouds and visions floating in her mind

She isn’t cynical like the rest for she has a boundless imagination

With grace and generosity, she endows everyone

With noble ideals that connote great ambitions

It would blow your mind away if you knew even half

Of what goes through her mind during a single day

Come now, try to dream the dreams she has shining in her eyes
