"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.

Holidays With Mouse

So I bought two big sweet potatoes 
To prepare delicious holiday pie.

Busy with other chores, baking 
Was postponed for sometime.

As I opened the pantry for some food, puzzled 
I was with fallen shreds of potato skins.

The nibble marks were so visible on red skin
Not knowing the cause I simply threw the vegetable.

But that wasn’t the end of story. With bite marks around
Soon other snack bags found its way in trash bin.

On morning of Thanksgiving I opened the pantry
Sitting inside fruit basket the little mouse greeted me.

Shocked I jumped with a scream
The tiny rodent ran up and down the hall.

From room to room it gave me an exhausting chase, finally
The scared mouse took shelter in attic and I slumped on bed

Now shopping for a mouse trap is 
On my special winter list project.

Good-news! 
Mouse has been caught!
Holiday cheers to all!
