North



New bride brimming with hopes and dreams
Oddly entered the husband’s home with left foot
Raging mother in law  
Told her son to out-law
His Inauspicious wife from home and life 


*In india bride is supposed to enter her  husband's home with her right foot as part of custom and traditional beliefs. Well, that itself is a ceremony. Bride is given a traditional lamp to carry with her while entering home, down south. This limerick is written on prompt# 8 in acrosticonly blog carnival .Image courtesy : e-wanka

Dangerous




Dragging the life towards
An unknown path out of curiosity
Never presents pleasant journey
Gradual unveiling of shocking events
Encounters the mythical confidence
Rugged path and dodgy Samaritans
Outsources the act of terrifying for big sums
Urge of fighting injustice can turn fatal and ugly
Stay away from the corridors of crime, be safe !

Disgruntled workforce




Gruel some nature of contemporary jobs
Rips apart the high levels of expectation
Impatient peers consistently moves on
Making lame excuses of unbearable stress
All along in this competitive business world
Casting doubts over the human comforts
Exhilarating the demands of parity in pay

Pushing people towards ambitious productivity regime
Hastens their desire to exit for less turbulent pastures
After all everyone wish to work for securing their families
Seeking all their energy and time for unrealistic deadlines
Endangers the harmony of an aspiring peaceful work space

Stuck on a boring job that extracts the skills with betraying pay
Tires out even the hearts of ever-loyal passionate employees
Unless there is motivation in the form of promotion and perks
Mind it, no body wish to live for the sake of working all the time
Better time- frames and work distributions can ease the nerves
Instilling fresh confidence in  an out of sorts insecure work force
Eager to have ample time to enjoy their lives with the loved ones




This poem is based on the prompts # grimace, phase, & stumble in threewordwednesday blog carnival. Please visit to read other writers work. Images courtesy : theepochtimes & ithirewire . Thanks

Drunkard



Dances like a four legged anywhere, while enjoying  
Runs like a three legged in rush to reach somewhere
Insanely sings aloud at midnight, causing big nuisance
No sentiments towards neighbors’ who are fast asleep
Kind enough to hurl abuses, if confronted with any fury

Feeble enough to fall down anytime while walking gingerly
Ends up sleeping somewhere unconscious but peaceful
Earns surprise wake up in the mornings sometimes
Boozing is an easy to learn, but hard to give up
Loved for their entertaining traits after drinks
Emerges as if nothing happened amidst ruins

Predictable antics on display after every session
Reserves lot of emotions inside heart unlike others
Eager to release all the stress into the sky of imagination
Drinks with devotion on all seasons, to celebrate or to mourn
Ill-fated past time that can turn fun into tears with deadly illness
Cruel passion that can run over the hapless pedestrians on streets
The cold-blooded alcohol runs through the veins, decides every move

Addicts





They talks about an n-dimensional world
They lives inside a cage of blissful illusion
They claim about achieving elusive peace
Inhaling their miraculous puffs of smoke
Or injecting soul twisting venom on veins
That they consider as the heavenly solution
To jump down from the cliff of life’s troubles
To fly away from the tip of depressing failures
They seek the den of exquisite darkness to hide
As it looks impervious through their clouded eyes
They build secret kingdoms of enchanting silence
Then scouts for preys to strengthen their dynasty
Sells the bait of a world unknown to the hapless
The clone of a mythical heaven rooted on earth
Those who fall for this lust will remain as victim
Until someone, sprinkle the refining rays of hope
To rescue them from the clutches of this fatal evil


I am late. However, I wrote this poem to participate in three word Wednesday blog carnival . I simply loved this concept. The three words for this edition are bait, jump, & victim. Visit to check other entries. Thanks J

A bridge





A bridge is all they need
As an year ago
They saw young lives drowning
To depths of that river bed
On a fierce rainy day
As their boat capsized
As it carried more people than
It could afford to
This path is the shortest one
To get to the school
So students take risk
Crossing the river on boats
Than travelling long distances
Even as parents fear about another tragedy
With the monsoon raising water level
As usual in this river
A bridge remains a dream
As politicians have time only to talk
They can’t see the plight of people
Even after numerous lives were lost



I couldn't resist writing on this,when i saw students crossing a furious chaliar river on country boats.Only an year ago some students lose their lives in that river. Hope that someday they will get a bridge for safer journey.
