MILKMAN’S REPLIES

Milk is white like moonlight
Pure like mother’s heart
To say, ‘Milk is milk’, is right
It is nature’s gift, not made in art.
Milk turns something to shine
Like milk but it is never pure
In the age of science and its reign,
It can be in six-tastes, it is true.
It can be thin, milky water
Or watery milk, it can be thick,
It can be hot or sweet or bitter
Acrid or any as per the trick.
The milkman replies in the ways
To convince his every customer,
“My buffalo drinks water always
So, milk is milky even with water.”
“Milk looks thick for it eats flour,
Bitter for it eats bitter guard at will”,
“It tastes sweet, my children four
Offer chocolates, all together fill.”
“Milk smells pungent, it drinks gum”
“It eats chilly, so milk is hot to be pure,
Its habits are so, it never keeps mum,
Its milk prevents ills, no need of cure.”
Prepare milk milkmen in mixingart
All do not know what they are all,
It is artificial, cheating on their part
To the milk, for sure, victims all fall.

MY DEAR FIREFLY

You are indeed greater
To shine without power
For glow and glitz on par
You are a twinkling star.
You stoop down in mirth
Flying in spirit onto earth
You and your all, in flight
Appear galaxy in the night.
How fantastic your flutter!
How majestic your glitter!
As a child, I fanciedto own
You in my palm fully shown.
You shone like a mermaid,
All attention was fully paid
To the full in my full lashes
As a captive to your flashes.
I eagerly awaited the night
With you in the jolly flight
In glimpsing you in delight
As I did for the stars' sight.
You are a nocturnal beetle
In my palms a magic little
And lightning bug all days
To fill me with bliss always.
So tiny, so shiny, so comely
I spot your rear shining fully
As the flying star in all night
I fly with you in full delight.

MUSINGS LIKE LIGHTNING

Musings dawn in my mind for full delight,
For beauty and truth, they are singular,
Like lightning in the welkin to shine bright.
Musings sing like cuckoos in spring topflight,
Spread scent and glitter in lovely colour,
Musings dawn in mind for my full delight
All seem to transport me to their full sight,
On their wings to the world spectacular,
Like lightning in the welkin to shine bright.
All feast like rainbows through drops in sunlight,
I tend to pen them in verse popular,
Musings dawn in mind for my full delight,
All, flashing in mind in the speed of light,
Seem to flee in their mood particular,
Like lightning in the welkin to shine bright.
But musings are bubble-spanned in their plight,
They vanish soon like the strange traveler,
Musings dawn in mind for my full delight,
Like lightning in the welkin to shine bright.
