Two reasons for the above title.
1. Wasted a lot of time. And came crashing to earth in many aspects.2. Never able to rhyme a single poem till now.
I guess there is a beginning for everything. In my case, this poem!
All day long, I stayed put and lazy
pondering my future, all bleak and hazy.
"Time will soon run", so said my dad.
Despite the fun, Oh, now I feel bad.

Fighting my case thinking
"What did I miss?"
Old times and passion. Even company too?
Peace, joy and harmony? Maybe that's true.
But all that mattered now as the clock chimed,
I wrote all this down. Wow! It finally rhymed.
Stranded alone praying for success
Shouted a voice inner, "Laddie, you aint no mess."
The crises will come, the riches may go
Our lives all traverse, peaks sky-high and low.
Comforted yet anxious, I watched my pen
form these lines tedious. (in meaningful pairs of ten)
Now I realize there's scope for everything.
Bring focus and patience and raise hope for everything.
"Food is ready", my mom waved and mimed.
Famished I eat, happy this effort rhymed.
T Rajendar style brother. :P
ReplyDeleteAwesome! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!!
ReplyDeleteReally :) To both my anonymous brother and SM
Short and sweet :)
ReplyDeleteHm... Interesting attempt.
ReplyDeleteNot as spellbinding as your carefully constructed poems which follow some order!
ReplyDeletePretty good attempt!
ReplyDeleteThey really rhyme superbly :-)
ReplyDeleteLolz Aravind, this brought a smile to my face. The ending to both the poems was sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you in on a secret. It's not really important to rhyme. Write a free verse and it would hold magic if the words ring true.
Your rhymes did not sound forced... which is a good thing. If you're inclined to write in a rhyme scheme, practice is the key... but as I see it, it won't take long. You do it pretty nicely. Cheers! :)
@Speck and @Vaishali:
