A MENTAL BLOCK

A

Host of meaningless words,Come rushing into ears,They are thrusted on me forcefully,They have clouded unknowingly,Around an indolent mind. Culture, technology, communication,Nothing but words of humiliation,Unaffected, uneventful, they passInto an ignorant world of gross. I, an impermeable skull,Find it good to dope,Having in it no hope,It is a mental block,Not of the superior flock. ( Students...

A SHOOTING LECTURER

A

A circuit of electrifying experience, Of cinematic world in jerks, Bleaks, blasts, glamour and perks, His dreamy eyes bathed in books, Takes on an intellectual look, He has attuned himself to shots, To unwind the difficult knots, Naughty jokes twinkle in his eyes, Never does he express a sigh, His mind has given to treat, The spirit of an evolving art, He excels in artistic cell, Of cinema still...

static lecture

s

Serious negation is the lecture,Opening an opaque aperture,The meaningless words crowd,The classroom to resound,To every word is a syllable added,Wary slimy words get sprayed,Into a tremulous ‘i:z’,Fancied fun left for drowsy glum,With silence sleeping,With wakeful mourningAnd brains resting,Static fixtures,Static gestures,A static lecture. ( A student searches for new thoughts or information in...

SPINNING THROUGH IGNORANCE

S

Ignorance slits a human’s throat, Unknowingly as that of a goat, He clings to the world, Considers lightly as a bird, Flies high in worldly venture, Fret and fury its features, Floods, fumes foil human, Mauled by life’s events, Caught in a cyclonic sink, Whirls round and round A nucleus of depression, Drowns in fury and despair. (Life is tough in this world. We need a strong mind to face it. We...

AN INDOLENT INTELLECT

A

It is the surface emerging out,No depth for an intellect, stout,The words fading have no right,To create cogent bytes.How shallow is the region stirred!How little is the outlet turned!Nothing wakens the indolent brain,Confining it to a limited frame.Is it a meaningful lectureOr a vain conjecture?

( Understanding is essential for learning. If it is absent, learning is meaningless)

a lame lecture

a

You pound my brain with your sound,Fluctuating tone of rise and fall,Conveys that you need to recall,Words, meaningless, unknown,Shrivelled in senses, unkindPour out of your fermented mind,What a good lecture it would have beenIf your knowledge had a stream? You trained your brain to memorise notes,Laid in the barren desert of no hope,Infertile is your mind,Your logic is parched and blind,You, a...

seismic lAUGHTER

s

The professor echoes the atmosphere,Washing away the false notions,Students erupt into peals of laughter,Ringing with timbrel, echoing the atmosphere,It is our dear professor,Unwinding threads of thought,Turning the receptive minds,Into meaningful critical laughter,His lectures serenade us,To view the world with seismic laughter ( A lively talk by the professor evokes seismic laughter, an example...

party

p

Foaming waters of the sea,Engulfs my dormant mind,I ride into distant experience,Of sea breeze behind me.Pleasant feel of the wind,Glowing sunset,Party seated on a lawn,Cool friendly feel of speech,People moving around in groups,Golden sun turned into colours,Colourful beams reflected on waters,The wavelets danced merrily,The sky, calm with theGurgling water as its bed,Faded into the dark,Lighted...

beauty

b

Freshness of nature is beauty,Beauty of nature is design,Movement of life is beauty,Beauty of truth is dignity,Calmness of mind is beauty.The charming physical beautyOf nature is its treaty,With truth and grace,Dressed and ornamentedIn silver and gold.A vision of brightnessBlending an ocean of colours,Sound, life and figures,A fastidious festival of beauty.

RAIN

R

Glittering drops of rain,Fall on the parched earth,Shaken up with thirst,Nourishing the earthy bowel,Food for beings spring,Sight of green is an offering,Stretching towards eternity. Eager, wealthy and healthy grassIs bestowed to lie on,Cool fresh and serene.Magnanimous green leaves,Bend to slip down drops,Glittering as though in a dream,The overwhelming greenery,Rules dormant indolent...
