 7 APRIL 2019 DAY 7

 GIFT

Time is a scarce commodity

Getting scarcer day by day

People don’t have time nowadays

They are busy collecting wealth

Collecting wealth for whom?

A father who yearns for a hug

A Lonely mother waiting for a glimpse

A daughter dancing away hours

A son driving at breakneck speed

A wife playing Jack Queen Diamonds

Gift your loved ones Love

Gift your loved ones care

Gift your loved ones smiles

Gift your loved ones memories

Gift your loved ones time

Time is Scarce!

Life is very short!

Don’t waste your time

Its precious costs more than

Your accumulated wealth

Realize its worth

Give abundantly

Give!

Just Give!

Giving is also a Gift!

Day 5 NAPOWRIMO APRIL 2019 DESERT OF LONELINESS

Day Five

5 APRIL 2019 DAY 5

POETRY FORM: VILLAINELLE

DESERT OF LONELINESS

Feeling your delightful glance like dew

Memories whiplash hard, bringing
forth tears

In the vast desert of loneliness I
stew

Adorable sweet nothings albeit a very
few

Murmurs of affection my heart can’t bear

Feeling your delightful glance like dew

Blurred, fuzzy, hazy mirage and still
I drew

Your betrayal brutal, reasons still
not clear

In the vast desert of loneliness I
stew

Your affection endearing me out of
the blue

Whispers of your love I so frequently
hear

Feeling your delightful glance like dew

Dismissing you will be so hard I had no clue

Strewn are signs of your love
everywhere

In the vast desert of loneliness I
stew

Time tore us apart and distance grew

I would never stop loving you I fear

Feeling your delightful glance like dew

In the vast desert of loneliness I
stew

Day 6 NAPOWRIMO APRIL 2019 SAVE SIMPLE SOULS

Day Six


SAVE SIMPLE SOULS

If I was a cloud, lone
wandering rain cloud

I would devour all the
steam from the fiery earth

Pour and pour
incessantly with lightning and thunder loud

Prove nectar for the dry,
deprived Kharif crops growth

For a super bumper crop
each season henceforth

If I was a politician, I’ll
give farmers the much needed loans

And never let a single
farmer writhe in pain and think of suicide

And penalize all the
hardened souls till they groan & moan

Free farmers of shame, embarrassment,
never to run and hide

Be humane, give relief
and waive off interest before they died

If I was a cop, true and
honest with integrity

Put all the corrupt culprits
behind bar till infinity

Save all the simple
souls of chagrin in full authority

Impart justice to rich
and poor equally with dignity

Distribute concern,
care, smile, laughter and love in all sincerity

DAY 4 NAPOWRIMO APRIL 2019MY ONLY SON

Day Four

I stay with my daughter and her family said a mother
Affected by Alzheimer’s her weakened memory getting worse day by day
I have one son he is on a very high post she proudly tell them
He is my only son he lives abroad with his wife and children
Masquerading her loneliness hiding her pain she smiles
She does not want to hear any ill against her only son
She hates it when asked why you don’t live with your son and his family
She deftly evade answering, despite her forgetfulness she changes the topic

Why doesn’t he call me? earlier he used to call every weekend
Oh! He works so hard. He must be busy in his meetings
But being forgetful she asks again why doesn’t he call me these days?
It’s been so many days and I haven’t heard his voice she laments

Reasoning that after his retirement he will take her with him
One day she asks when will he retire from his job?

DAY 2 WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO LOVE

#NAPOWRIMO @GLOPOWRIMO APRIL 2019

#DAY 2

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO LOVE

Why is it so difficult to love?
Atrocities, killings, chaos & mayhem omnipresent
Deliberately, far away, happiness & peace is sent
Malicious thoughts ruling the young minds
Deadly venom used in speech by all kinds

Daily horrific inhuman stories in newspapers
Unbelievable barbaric bone chilling acts it caters
Regards and respect of humans descending
Hatred, hostility, intolerance ascending

It is not so difficult to eradicate conflict & hate
Small efforts of love will definitely change the fate
Not to tolerate the intolerance further more
Erase enmity, envy and malice from the core

Swift action, confront it with brevity rare
Small albeit powerful acts of kindness & care
Sharing empathy, laughter and smiles
Bitterness will be swept away by many miles

Speaking softly sweetly soothes the soul

Why then we don’t stop using language foul
Selfless love & compassion is the need
We must sincerely promise and take heed

Bliss, harmony and peace in life will prevail
Set our joy boat filled with happiness on sail
Loving, caring will make life jubilation
Deep down we know only love is the solution
Why then is it so difficult to love?

NLP

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to psychotherapy and organizational change based on "a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behaviour and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them and a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behaviour"
The co-founders, Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder, believed that NLP would be useful in "finding ways to help people have better, fuller and richer lives". They coined the term "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" to emphasize their belief in a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience ("programming") and can be organized to achieve specific goals in life.
