"Some days when I am able to pick a pen and write, I know I have been blessed."~Savita

Welcome to my blog. In my quiet hours I seek to touch the depth of myself and my surroundings. My thoughts that take form of poetry are just the scratches on the surface of life as it reveals to me. Wrapped in a delicate veil of symbolism and ambiguity these verses and expressions also fulfill my desire to share a bit of my self with others. I hope reading them would be as enjoyable for you as writing them has been for me.

Baboon's Dream

Once there was a Baboon.
His name was Balloon.
He saw a balloon flying 
And said to himself,
'My name is Balloon
I will fly above the lagoon'.

He climbed on a tree,
Raised his hands,
Bent his knees
And flew like a bee.

But instead of flying
With a thump he fell 
Moaning and crying.
His ma and pa came on searching
And found him gloating
With the thought of floating.

When spring was in air,
Ma and Pa took him to fair.
They put him in the basket
Fastened with balloon in the market.

The owner took him to Balloon festival
They both flew high above the carnival.
Baboon was happy and singing
When he heard the bell ringing.

Just then
Ma came down to wake him up
He was getting late for school bus.
