Merry Christmas Poem 2023

Christmas is a special time we all look forward to every year. It is a season filled with joy, warmth, and traditions that bring us together. From twinkling lights to delicious treats, Christmas has a magical vibe that makes everything feel extra special. Families gather, friends celebrate, and everyone shares kindness and love. Whether it's snowing or raining outside, Christmas is celebrated by all no matter how old  we are.  Here, is a simple  poem to  enjoy this festive season.

Christmas tree using recycled materials

Snowflakes fall with silent grace, 

In the family's warm and tight embrace. 

Christmas magic fills the space, 

Warmth and love felt in every trace. 

Twinkling lights on every street, 

Whispers of joy, pure and free. 

Carols sung in harmony and glee, 

Snowflakes twirl underneath the family tree. 

Stockings hung with each member's name, 

Each one different, but love's the same. 

Gifts wrapped up in festive cheer, 

Smiles that say the ones held dear. 

Houses and fir trees adorned with colourful lights, 

Wishing all a Merry Christmas, with love so bright!

Daily Chores and the Two Sides of my Face

The daily chores and the two sides of my face takes you to a poetic journey which takes you into a woman's daily chores to my worn out look and finally, how I manage to look good without make-up.

Read, Enjoy and give it a Thought !

Get up and run, there's no time to ruin

From washing to cooking, get all jobs done

Put onions, pumpkins and carrots to boil

Sip the soup and clean the mess, from dirts to oil

Now it's time for school, so get ready for a bath

Rushing through the time, I follow my usual path

Back home again, but gets chasing the kids to eat

Trust me! Putting the home back to shape is not a treat

The night time has arrived, yet I had things to do

Teaching lessons that seems to increase as the kids grew 

Although the day's work is over, I had mine to complete

For to blog, it is only on the night time I sit

The next and the next, days arrived and went by

One day, I stood to see my refection as I passed by

Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me how do I look 

She refrained, and reflected that I look more of a cook

All work and no rest, took its toll on my face

Dark circles and worn out look reduced my grace

I stand there looking at the so called image of "me"

Yes, I'm not 20 and I need more shine on my face, I agree

But, spending time on make up and other things

No, not for me as with short time look it brings

I complained and told that I looked for something better

That which does all-in-1 job and that which lasts longer

I stood near the mirror, munching on my thought

Sighing now and then on my pale skin and black spots

Snap! in a second the image from the mirror came alive

Rested something on my hand and said this is what I need to thrive

Slowly opening my hands, I saw a name Miracle Skin Perfector 

I looked to see the image getting back into the mirror and dissappear

I opened the tube and squeezed out a little of Garnier BB cream

Applying in circles on my face, feeling the smooth gleam

Ah! it is time again and I start to run around the home in and out

With the repetitive house hold chores, not one or two but a lot

Time again, I went past by the mirror and stopped to call

Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me how do I look once for all

She popped out her eyes and grinned at me with a list

Telling that she couldn't believe I had in me so much beauty that exists

She touched my skin saying that it looks noticeably smoother 

With good sun protection, the tone on my skin looked brighter

Furthur she added, that my facial contours appear more defined

With reduced lines and long lasting effect, I found all in one of the kind

It was her time to go, but now she disappeared not into the mirror but into me

Saying that it was now a younger and healthier woman, is what she sees

To what I had been once, to what reflection now I had seen

I assure that Garnier BB cream fits perfectly into my daily routine

Yellow Golds!

She toiled the fields, not anymore

Harvest has befallen, none to explore

Storms above nevertheless knew her pain

that bestowed dearth in her own plane

Looking above, she beckoned the Gods

Let me embrace sustenance against all odds 

 Don't ensue and ravage my support

Wait until I reach my abode !

None to explore this mortal's earth 

 Covered with yellow golds, yet to unearth 

Aphrodite Poem - The Birth

Oh! Goddess of beauty and love
She who shines from above
Enter the seeker within me
Radiate and quench my plea

Arise, Oh! Aphrodite divine

The scent of perfumed flowers
Amidst smiles , passed hours
Wandering dreams, celestial song
Build my reign, subtle yet strong

Sign, Oh! Woman in me I sign

The ground shook beneath
Bit by bit between my trembling feet
Love imposed a seedling, abated strife
Appeared in existence a tiny life

Rise and shine , Oh!Aphrodite divine

This moment fed my sensation free
Blessed are we , two became three
She, an evening star, beautiful and fair
Shone bright in my life, beyond compare

Praise, Life Oh! Being feminine is divine

Like you, She arose from the ocean
Inside womb, moulded with my emotions
Like you, let she radiate Love and Light
Ergo named my baby,  Aphrodite !

Haunt me to Clean off the mask of Love !

Haunt me Clean off the mask of Love !

I waited this day for so long
To be immersed in silence
and his warmth of love all along
The face so relaxed but feelings intense
His sweated lips and his preying eyes
His manly smell haunts my bodily sense
The moment  that I deeply craved arrives
But , I hesitated to reciprocate back
Oh No! Not today , I looked pale
There is something that blocked my approval
On my mind , one line seemed to haunt and yell
"Oh how I wish I had opted for my hair removal "

He didn't know to read my mind
And so he thought I was very shy
He took my hand to his with a touch so kind
Weaving a smile of self assurance by
To assure his love and his insight
He sent a wave of  his manly might
To prove a girl ,  the love of a guy
But all I need now is to let out a cry
Only then, he noticed what I was up to
With twisting legs and clothes that drew,
My hands concealed what that grew
For a minute he stared at me as if he got the clue
Running in his mind were again the lines ,
" I wish she had opted for her hair removal "


Haunt me to clean off the mask of Love !
Bring the confidence to the power of now
With amounts of signal sent to and fro
And within hours of clearing the mess that grows
Now , I am a woman shining with confidence
To steal the attention of my man back to the show
He entered with the same smile and  pinned
his look , neared me and whispered an invite
" So divine you are , shall we .... " he grinned
Signalled a sign to redeem what we left that night

I like getting dirty again - poem for real souls :)

Knowledge

Books, papers and Magazines

In and out

and all about

Stuffed into head

Painted eyes red

She hungs on the door knob

the mask she wore

No more I want to look

pretended or

act smart

I have had my share of small fame

so lame , it went and came

I smile when someone barks

I stay calm as life gets dark

But ..today

just a day

I am what I am

messed up

freaked out , no doubt

to show my true self out

I like getting dirty

It made me free

It's me

the real she

for tomorrow again

I need my mask to hide away the stains

Wild Imaginations !

I wanna live inside a Tree, Mommy

Please do tell me how to build one

Oh!are you talking about Tree house,Honey

We can find them on the wild forest , my son

This was my Mommy's  answer

but I seeked something better

No Mommy, I am talking the real one

See, a real house inside a tree, 

Oh!how wonderful it would be

To have a house deep down the tree

The other side of the world I would see
And learn about the wonders created around me

I started to sing and strolled around my garden

With my wandering mind and my mouth organ

I wonder where do the rabbits hunts

and finds their sweet orange carrots

I want to explore the marvellous merits

that made the seeds grow with strong fronts

I have also read about the pirates living in the sea

hunting for treasures in lands and in trees

If the insects and birds can make home on trees

Why cannot I build one just  for me

As I sang , suddenly my head started to spin

And I saw what I could never imagine

I saw tall magnificent door on a tree 

I pushed myself in and led myself free

I slided down by some strange stairs

And deep deep down ,I flew on air

Monsters snore, I guess they are asleep

I ran , I ain't no dinner they would keep

As I crossed them, a  weird pathway evolved 

which had the snakes and ladders riddles to solve 

That's my luck , I finally passed my test of strife 

which lead me to the weirdest thing of my life

In front of me, stood a beautiful house

where I was sleeping tugging my blanket close

I slowly went near and touched my head

And that's the last thing that I had did

I awoke from a wild wild dream I ever had

That made my  imaginations to thread

Oh! How I wish again to see inside of the Tree

Stroke my imaginations wild , Break me Free!

The Mirror Outside

She lay spread on bed
As silent as she can be
Idle and possessed
I collected her as I got up
Carefully pulling out the loops
That resulted due to the love
Between the hairs at night
Mockingly , I tied her up

I opened the door for her
To get wet in the cool shower
I moved my fingers through her
And loosened her from the clutch
I watched the sight...
Gracious !
She fell cascading in elegance
And when the cool water trickled her
She soaked  herself into moistness
Doving in the shampoo producing rich lather
I bathed her fresh like a morning star

She then cuddled in between the cotton treads
Peeping now and then to the light outside
Frizzling slow...
She dried herself under the Sun
Allowing the heat to penetrate into her
Pampered in the warmth of love

Suddenly the cool breeze swarmed
Into the holes between the strands
Of her hair, unveils the beautiful face
That’s hidden behind the thin long screens
Scrubbing out the scents from the hair
That been bathed with rosewater touch
I smelled the fragrance closing my eyes
Indulging in the sweetness of tenderness

Each time I hold her soft body in my hands
I felt tender passion dissolving in
Each time she brushed on my face
I remembered pleasant moments
Being a delicate part of my body
She responds to every pain I incur
I know that she cares more for me
Breaking loose and in size reduce
Ready to hides my tears,when low
Or shines with glow when I 'm joyous
And this is how she talks with me.
I never seen such friend who heeds
To every feelings that I undergo ,
Displaying or making sure that I read

I brushed aside my wavy sassy lover
That knows how I feel in her close presence
I shook my head and beamed thinking
Of the woman in me who loves being pampered
With the same soft touch of care and love
I realize that I need to tie her up once again
A secret brief lock....
As she is my best Mirror outside

Halloween Party at Night

Lighted Pumpkins on the doorway

Invites witches to come and play

Wandering on brooms stick on the sky

Zoom Zoom and Zoom ,they fly

I was seated in a dim lighted room

With hunched back and deadly groomed

I slowly sucked in my thick red tomato soup

From a big bowl of scary dots and loops

Knock Knock Knock, I heard some noise

Crooked broken voices of girls and boys

Receiving the signal, I quickly gathered

My baskets with monster chocolate and fled

Hello Hello and Hello..we are in

Come let us  party for Halloween

From door to door, we go and call

Tagging for party friends ,short and tall

We scare and scare all through the night

Those who were caught on our sight
They stood and looked at us kids
Snaring at us with their wry smile undid

Witches or skeleton, we need no such dress

And telling there's yet no monster better than us

The Story of Rapunzel's Hair

Long Long ago, I grew long to flow
Wavy and sassy , chit chat as I go
I brush the soft walls on the towers
That measures my height as I reach lower
I am bathed in Lukewarm water
With natural herbs and natural colors
I am pampered with nourishing coconut oils
Carefully and neatly tied up to coil
My long golden mane with colorful ribbons
Adorned with flowers ,yellow and crimson
I am loved and taken care of so well
By a beautiful maiden named Rapunzel
I played messenger helping her find
Her true love role playing from behind
Up and down , In and out I go
Providing a only pathway to below
Until the wicked witch struck me upon
Cutting my beauty in two , one half down
Held wickedly on the hands of the witch
My other half on Rapunzel who's been ditched
I wander with her in the lonely woods
Unknown of the spell cast upon her only good
Finally, a rescue was bestowed through a Dove
To bring back my true long self and her True Love


Love and get loved - The story of Rapunzel's hair rescued through the Dove

One thing I loved about Rapunzel's hair is that she pampered her hair with love and affection which drove her to get healthier and long hair.I am not a Rapunzel but I can do what she does to her Hair [ pampering my hair to save what is left now :( ]

Life is fun when viewed from a different perspective ."Put yourself in other's shoe so you may know their pain" is a well known proverb. Now ,let me put it in a different way."Put yourself on the other side of the world say a dream world so that you may  know how beautiful your life is like a poetic world " . Chill !! :)

I ain't no Beauty - Poetry for the soul that needs some charm

Prompt from Poets United

I ain't no Fairy Tale Princess

Though some beauty I do possess

I'aint taking about white skin and red lips

which portrays beauty that a princess keeps

Though like Cinderella , I wait for a stardom

to marry a prince who searches for me to come

To awake me from my Sleep, as deep as a sea
 Fighting the evil to breaks my curse free

Like Snow White, I lay on coffin  for true love

until to be awakened by a Prince kiss  now 

I ain't no beauty to be saved like a Prince would

Falling in love by looks and does what he should

I am a framed bones and flesh coated neatly by skin

Which expands when fat and shrinks when thin

In case, you can't accept whats in store

I ain't the one you look for or need anymore

Haiku - CHARM

Golden sun flower
Thick inside, Thins outside charmed
By Sun's same beauty

Exploring Poetry - Rhyming Love that's not my choice

Writing is the best way through which a person can express his thoughts and feelings .The pen /pencil is the paintbrush that the poets uses to create a illusion of objects or thoughts to create a beautiful art with words.Thus poetry is something precious to be shared either by speech or by writing like we do with arts. If you ever ask a kid about poetry, the little one either comes up with 

Twinkle .Twinlke little star

How I wonder what you are

              (or)

"When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

Anything or Everything that Rhymes is a poetry for a kid (I used to rhyme poems for that effect).Without Rhyming, a poetry book is not fulfilled , IMP .Welcoming everyone who stumbles upon this post on  "Exploring Poetry " prompt "RHYMING"

How to write a Rhyming poetry :

1. Choose the topic or idea about what you want to write and just write in a free pattern
2. Arrange the lines in groups of 2 or 4 or 6 or 8  in even numbers
3. Organize the sentences and words to form a meaningful line
4. Add a tune or rhyme to the end of each sentence
5. For rhyming words ,you can either choose dictionary at home or at online like Rhyming Zone
6. Choose any Rhyming pattern and go with it all along the poem ( AAAA, ABAB, AABB,ABBA)

The below poem is written in the rhyme scheme (AABBBCC)

Love that's not my choice

Love was not my choice until I met you

My heart melted with the love you brew

Slowly hooked

Steadily captured

Steeply engraved

It spoiled my sleep at night

Made your wrong moves right

In Love, maths of one plus one is still one

Forgetting all ,drowning in love minding none

Complex dealings

Imaginary floatings

Under Real feelings

It secured a place in my heart tight

Taming me to a person so quite

Love , ah this potion is so strong

I confess that I cant hold it long

Un-comfortable  

Eyes playful

Oh!Life lulls

Longs sedatives for this twinge

Yours unforgettable clinch

Love - a small but a strong word

Commonly used and always heard

Staring as it comes

Striking the heart drum

Electrifies through rhythm

The music mingles the breath forever

Staying with us and leaving never

Show me a person who never Loves

He is Heartless - maybe someone has stolen it from him

He can never find the truth 

Until he believes that he too can love

The Chakra of Love

Chakra, the wheel

It rolls and rolls

You know how it feels

When true love flows

An eye that smile

A smile that curves

Thinking of you awhile

Into your mind I dive

Chakra, the wheel

It rolls and rolls

Here before you I kneel

Kissing your hand slow

An eye that smile

A smile that curve

Carrying you with style

Love I will , ever preserve

Ensconced Food that unravels through a Poem

Food ,Drinks and Indulgences is a basic needs and a topic that everyone in the house discusses. A poem out of it is worth a try .The concept of food is extended with two thoughts,the former being the food for growth and the latter being food that is ensconced everywhere.I choose the latter to write a poem about it .I decided to create my own image for easier understanding of my poem .Lets roll the cursor down for more.

ENSCONCED FOOD

 

Food being indulged to every whim satisfying human body
Stimulating the taste buds with it's quality and quantity.

The deep silence that is achieved in meditation
Helps in nourishing the spirit that lives in affliction

A food that makes the lives on the earth functions
Making love that nurtures the future generations

Inculcating good knowledge fulfilling the thirst of mind
With proper literacy among other living kinds

Time , a miraculous food for Earth-space continuum
Instilling the past , present and future occurrences in them

The food in form of gas , the Oxygen , to and from CO2
For maintaining existence , where breathing resides

The biological food cycle on earth describes
That every output is an input prescribed

The food for every soul and mind depends upon totally
Of requirements that arises both internally and externally

Ensconced in forms of matter where solid, liquid and gases thrives
Indulging in every whim of hunger in all Living Lives

The Whispering Dewdrops - ZEST(Z) Poetry for a Change

THE CHANGE (Finding Zest in life)

Each thoughts that never happens, recalls God's presence

Who knows the ends of the each chapter in human's life

Humans who never knows his destined end, hence

Expect more even after each ends which holds his life in strife

Heart, a place unfenced lets thoughts from all around

Letting people e to leaves their footprints unnoticed

One person to share a heart, the life is safe and sound

If another joins claming her rights, one is left to contend 

The starting and ending of a life is a mystery hidden

The correct path or the correct way, no one ever knows 

Each single path cross and they change, the journey ends

If we know the reality of change, we understand how life flows

Original content of the Tamil song by poet Kaviarasu Kanadasan :

Ninaipathellam nadanthuvittal theivam ethum illai

The Whispering Dewdrops - X and Y Chromosome in Poetic Science and The Riddle of Science

X and Y Chromosome 

Why they are important ? Without them there are no lives , no birth.They determine the sex of you and me .The female has two X chromosomes and the male has one X and one Y chromosome.A chromosome consists of a single, very long DNA helix on which thousands of genes are encoded.

So what are genes?

In simple words, Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells (The cell is the functional basic unit of life) and pass genetic traits to offspring meaning they are the unit of heredity in a living organism.Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell .The X chromosome represents about 5% of the total DNA in women's cells, 2.5% in men's.The other 2.5 in men is taken by the Y chromosome.

DNA in the X-chromosome is passed from mother to her son or daughter whereas the DNA in the Y-chromosome is passed from father to son .In case of a daughter , the DNA in the X -chromosome is passed from father to daughter. Since the father retains his X chromosome from his mother, a human female has one X chromosome from her paternal grandmother (father's side), and one X chromosome from her mother.

My A to Z challenge for X and Y both , is written with the above Chromosomes .I'm trying to modify the above explanation into a simple Haiku .Here I am with the Title :

X and Y Chromosome in Poetic Science:

X Chromosome :

A Daughter is born

Mother's X combines Father's

His X Chromosome

Y Chromosome :

Son's birth is confirmed

Mother's X combines Father's

One Y Chromosome

The NaPoWriMo's Riddle poem :


Science Is Solving Riddles Of .....
Science is solving riddles of the Origin of life
The big bang theory denoting the formation of universe
Or the DNA cells ,a life in the invisible nucleus
The Adam and Eve ,the world's first human life
Or the Gorillas and the apes ,the hairy two legged


Science is solving riddles of Communications
Languages between the humans and his body
Languages between the plants and ecology
The Zoology of the animals ,life and their living
The fast space disc and the UFO aliens


Science is solving riddles of the Earth
The ocean's depth and the sky's expansion
The ozone depletion and the green house effect
The new diseases and the sudden natural disasters
The birth and the death ,the God and the Ghost


What the Science doesn't know is that
Science will be solving riddles of the life
Unending in nature unless the human's diverts
The search that is outside .....Within

The Whispering Dewdrops (A to Z /NaPoWriMo)

   

The Whispering Dewdrops - Veerapandiya Kattabomman (V) NaPoWriMo poetry

Veerapandiya Kattabomman 

Veerapandiya Kattabomman was born to Jagaveera Kattabomman and Arumugattammal on January 3, 1760.Kattabomman is the pivot of the emerging feeling of Tamil nationhood who fought for India and was finally executed by hanging him unceremoniously on a Tamarind tree in Kayathar (near Thirunelveli)

Kattabomman is recognized by the government as one of the earliest independence fighters opposing the British and has been hailed as the inspiration behind the first battle of independence of 1857, which the British called the Sepoy Mutiny.His story is celebrated in many legends and epic poetry in Tamil.In honor of his bravery , a Memorial fort was constructed ,postal stamps(1799), few transport buses and a Cultural association were named after him.Even a famous Tamil film portraying the life of Veerapandiya Kattabomman was taken by storm by a great actor of our times Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan.


A folk dance "Devarattam" in Tamil Nadu is persevered by the descendants of Veerapandiya Kattabomman to denote victory in the battle.

VeeraPandiyaKattabomman

Full name	Veemaraja Jagaveera Pandiya Kattabomman

I am now going to use these rhyming ends given by NaPoWriMo's prompt to write a short epic poem about this great warrior-" rage,doom, age, tomb , sighs, breast, thighs, west, mad, blues, plaid, shoes, fail, mail"and write a Bout-rimes MEANING I write  a sort of poetic parlor game ,like  you write a poem using the rhyming end words from another poem. I was hesitating to post my poems for the last few days because of copyright infringement that I faced with a particular site .But if that one stops me from writing and also stopping my growth ,I am losing my precious visitors who come to my blog.There are many poems ,more than 100 for him to chose from ,so I took a brave decision to write again till the end of A to Z challenge and NaPoWriMo.Hope he understands my plight and leave me alone to write freely without problems

That special steady walk he owns in rage 

Reddish yellow fire burning even at this age

Furious of being one among the doomed 

In defense for his people ,he stood like a tomb

He never let his heart down which made his enemy sigh

Preserving a walk of bravery with his strong thigh

He always has his straight shoulder and upright breast

And eyes boiling in anger seeing the torments of the west

"I'm Veerapandiya Kattabomman", his roar drives one mad

That makes the battle steam up ,a tartan plaid

Even with the tortures he faced,he never fell at their shoes

Finally being executed by hanging made all his followers blue

Tragic ending , yet he was one among the freedom fighters to mail

Spreading the message of bravery for their own rights without fail

The Whispering Dewdrops - Memories (M) NaPoWriMo poetry

NaPoWrimo 's prompt is to Spend a few moments examining an old photograph—a found image, a photo from childhood, an iconic shot from history—and give it a title along with A to Z Challenge of letter "M" - MEMORIES

An Iconic Shot from History

Memories of the PAST

The memories of the 80's come haunting back

collecting the holiday scenes on my countryside

the melody of the quills , birds fluttering around

with the breeze and the leaves ,they smack

The green pond where we catch fish in bulk

catching and letting them go one by one

Those  banyan swings adores our play

where  we spend days exchanging talks

Walk into the woods, getting lost straight

and then trying to find a way back home

Playing monkey jump on a pile of straw ,
 crying and scratching our bodies at night

Cotton stalks bursts out the white sponge slow

making artificial snowfall covering the streets

The flocks of sheep moving back to home,

a time informing us to bid goodbye for now

The people in village always flock together

sharing their duties with smiling face

No gadgets were there to take the place of

a person's space and time for each other

Thoughts are sweeter with each passing day

staring at the old back and white picture

resting on a special place on the album

Oh huh, such sweet memories are they !

Those places I mentioned (the way it used to be ) are not now but still some of those memories came haunting back when I started writing this poem .The OLDEN days are still the GOLDEN days :)

The poem reminds me of the olden days where we used to visit our grandma's house in Paloor.We had a blash and splash in the water there with all in the above poem .I have another grandma's telling her story with.....
