My school mate gave me this picture with the caption “Stay inside’ and asked me to a write an interesting poem. A nice exercise in creativity with a tinge of adult.

Welcome back Earth
A personalisation of Earth as being tired by the extreme greed and excessive consumption of humans, and giving rise to a new baby virus that revitalises its mother.
A pi-em
When Ides of March(3.15) happened, a friend of mine set me up to create a pi-poem. It was as to create a poem with length of each word to be a digit of pi. After many frustrating attempts I modified it with length of a line(instead of word) to a digit of pi. Here is the creative as “A pi-em”, consisting of 11 lines that represents pi to 10 digits i.e 3.14159 26535 .
=> 1st line = 3 words, 2nd line=1 word, 3rd line=4 words and so on.!
Bless us all
Isn’t it amazing that the earth just goes about the job quietly of revolving around the sun a whopping distance of 940 million kms every year? A joy it is to pause and ponder, the amazing cosmic wonder and celebrate as it commences another revolution around the sun. A creative on the occasion of ‘Happy new year’ as “Bless us all”.
eyes gouged
During my weekend long cycle ride exploring the city, the gaping holes in the erstwhile HMT factory buildings now dilapidated, caught my attention. Seemed liked eyes have been gouged out in old age. Here is my feeling on this as poem “eyes gouged”.
cask
Yesterday my good friend shared his wonderful experience of spending ten days in absolute silence and quiet as part of Vipassana meditation course. The result – Calm and loving, Observing not reacting, Alert & expansive, his life has reached a new high. While cycling back home from work today evening, the cacophony of honking triggered my muse. It mixed yesterday’s conversation along with today’s poem ‘The bottle’ to come up with ‘Cask’, personifying Whisky.
Orange Soda
Sai Nellore in his comment on my previous poem “Luva” suggested <Next you can think of some orange Fanta-like drink from “Lavazza”. But how can you make it “hot”?> and provoked the muse. Here is the response as another one “Orange Soda”. Thank you Sai. If you want to read “male version” of this read the next poem post “Goli Soda”.
Luva
Sai Nellore posted a lovely video of the flowing river of lave(Pahoehoe) and asked “Anyone wants to go for a swim”. My muse perked up and I commented on his with a poem. Here is the same as a poem poster titled “Luva”.
Deep dish
Last Saturday I did the Roller Coaster 200km brevet. This is where my tryst with brevet started in the year 2011. Titled “Huliyadurga 200” then, the route was kinda similar to this where we circled in the opposite direction. And this is where I met Somaskanda S first. Thank you Mohan Subramanyam for this lovely route and rekindling the lovely memories. This route took me past Byalu where the giant dish antennas peer into deep…
Oh, what a lovely life it is
Every autumn when the grand old tree opposite my house sheds its leaves and becomes bare, it leaves me in a state of awe and wonder. The absolute sheer raw beauty of its emptiness fills me up with divine serenity. Here is a creative take on this amazing autumn performance as “Oh, what a lovely life it is” outlining the life’s profound philosophy of emptying oneself to experience the fullness.
