Relief comes, pitter-patter
Replenishing the earth,
Rummaging through fields,
Restocking the streams -
Rousing the fervor to sing and dance,
Recapturing bygone childhood,
Resplendent crystals of elixir
Revamp the nature.
Rhythm of your language,
Radiates the ambiance of my soul.
Reveal your brilliance - and in
Rapture the feet dance
Rejoicing like a peacock, while
Rhapsodies of cheer
Resonate in your melody!
P.S - May I request you tell me ten things you like about yourself, instead of leaving a comment for my work today? :)
I love myself...most important.
ReplyDeleteI am really good at heart.
I am a bit of a cleanliness freak.
I go weak in knees for Salman and sweets.
I love rain, color red and roses.
Animals, birds, nature, adventure fascinates me.
Those are more than 10. Your poem has a totally different essence than my prose. Loved it.
I am kind, laid back, tolerant, calm (most times anyway)
ReplyDeleteI smile a lot and I love music
I love the sunshine, mountains/hills, beaches, nature, roses
I love the colours blue, red and yellow
I love to meditate and I love to blob.
(more about what I love rather than myself).
Loved your poem.
Although I would have loved to drench myself in the rapturous joy of your raindrops , well I have to be narcissistic for my own good as you say :)
ReplyDeleteI love that I am stronger of the species .(Yes I love being a woman and the entire package that comes with it).
I love that I don't get defeated by my own failures .
I love that the younger lot in my family looks up to me for a lot of things .
I love that I trust people (No wait sometimes I dislike it too especially when I look like a fool at the end).
I love my Momminess and bosiness whichever way you look at it .
I love the way I make Aalu fry and sometimes wish I could gobble the whole of it .
I love that I am allowed to babble about myself even with a beautiful rain poem in front of me .
And finally I love that I am being able to connect with a lovely soul like you at thousand and one levels :)
Cheers and Hugs ,
Sri :)

Ten things, hmmmmm let me think
ReplyDeleteI try to be a good person
I try to be a good wife
I try to be a good mother
I try to be a good daughter
I try to be a good gram's, LOL, that one isn't hard to do
I enjoy reading
I try to be a compassionate person
I love nature
I like to do crafts
& I love to thrift shop
Its a beautiful poem, Laxmi. How I am inspired by all the poets in the house and I wanna be one- someday- too :) Also, am so glad you ask people to write '10 things' about themselves! That's so generous of you, in this world where some people don't stop boasting about their insignificant achievements...anyway, here goes :
ReplyDelete1. I love myself- being a woman and a mother and everything along the way
2. I love my daughter so much so that I fear sometimes, that my hugs would hurt her (please don't send me off to jail for this!)
3. I love music and movies and make it a point to watch at least one per week!
4. I am a huge fan of Salman Khan and drool over him, shamelessly, like a starved hound
5. I can be completely goofy and clumsy and often things simply slip out of my hands
6. I trust very easily and often get hurt as easily
7. I am pretty outgoing and love to have people around me to chatter with
8. If someone is upset with me or find something that I have said/done repulsive, I get sleepless nights and die to make up with them again.
9. I cry easily and often (and not when I'm hurt physically, mind u-am stronger there!)
10. I hold love for everything and everyone in my life and it keeps oozing out often, sometimes I worry my chest will explode
Thanks for listening/reading! *hugs*
Beautiful Poem.
ReplyDelete10 things about me... (Copy pasting from one of my blog post :D)
1. I have fixation for certain foods, which I can eat anytime and every time for long periods of time. I used to carry Bhindi and Paranthas in my lunch box, every single day at work for 2 months, much to the amusement of my then colleagues. The only food that I order in a restaurant is Masala Dosa. KG is thoroughly disgusted with this weird fixation of mine! And now my latest passion is Samosas! So, I can have Samosas for breakfast, lunch and even dinner!! I know, what you are thinking!!
2. I am very meticulous or so I like to believe. Important things, papers… are always kept neatly and a safe place. So, the keys which would be used once in a while or the button of a dress/shirt which will be needed to sew up again are kept at safe place… that’s another story that it takes me ages to find that ‘safe’ place, always!
3. A wrong number on my phone brings out the worst in me. It’s kind of embarrassing, but somehow, I can never be patient with questions like “Kaun bol raha hai” from the other end of the phone.
4. anybody in tears can open my flood gates of salty water. The other day, I was at a doctor’s clinic waiting for my turn along with a lot of patients. Suddenly this teenage villager started wailing and talking about his dead mother. And I just couldn't hold back the tears. The doctor sure had a confused look on seeing a tearful woman who had come to show him the normal lab reports!
5. I love sweets, in fact no meal is complete without a sweet dish. Our fridge might not have the veggies for a day or two, but never a day without a dessert of any kind. We were at a buffet lunch at a hotel’s restaurant, sometime back. Amidst a lavish display of desserts were ‘Gajar ka Halwa’ and “Gajar ka Halwa - Low Calorie’. Nonchalantly, I took a big chunk of ‘Gajar ka Halwa’ on my plate much to the amazement of our friends. When somebody asked about my choice between the two desserts, my response, “the latter is less sweet”, met with a shocked silence!
6. I can’t stand the drama in Hindi serials, news, reality shows and not even the cookery shows showcased on our television, even for a minute!! MasterChef India OMG… what a contrast it was from MasterChef Australia!
7. I am pretty at peace and content with myself. So, I can be (and am) happy in my own company. Dressing up simply even at a wedding with opulence and style around me, does not give me any anxiety pangs.
8. I have a fairly good voice, but am too shy to sing out loud!
9. Everything, I do starts with a list. 80% of the times it is diligently written in a small notebook and rest of the time in the grey cells. But whatever task is at hand, it’s 1….2…3…4… for me!
10. I can’t move out of the home without my big bag. It weighs more than a kilo and has all the things, I might possibly need at any point of time! So, even for grocery shopping down the lane, my big fat bag travels with me!
10 things eh.. Here it goes
ReplyDelete1. Love Photography
2. Love reading
3. Love travelling
4. Love driving people crazy
5. Love contradicting just for the heck of it and to make it interesting
6. Love cooking
7. Love being me (I am much better at that rather than being bad trying to be someone else)
8. I dont have patience with boring blogs so I dont comment very often
9. I like trying out interesting and local stuff of any place I am in (that includes alcohol as well ;) )
10. I love water and jump in at the first sight but I dont know swimming !!

ReplyDeleteTen things that I like about myself
ReplyDelete1. My eyes :-) there is something special everytime i look into them through the mirror. I find a friend in them, a happy soul, something "Mystic" ;-)
2. My smile :-) not good at words but great at smiling. A friend recently said I have a baby like smile. Now I would love to have that baby touch even when i am 50 :-) carry the same innocence, unadulterated by the worldly thinking..
3. I like that i don't interefere in anyone's business unless i am asked to. I don't feel the need to open my mouth to impress others. I am flexible, love to listen to others. No forcing of opinions on others. Follower of 'live and let others live' philosophy.
4. I like my feet - no reason for that, i just like them :D
5. I like my ability to be silent and observe, to try to feel the joy around, to spot those lovely smiles, to feel the love around...
6. I like the fact that I am living :-) being alive is a joy too, isn't it?
7. I am not proud of anything, be it the inner qualities or materialistic possessions, that i have.
8. I am open and share only what i feel.
9. I like that I can remember the guitar notes on lead while many people i know forget them :-) i can recall the ones that i did 5 years back :D
10. Above all, I like that I feel myself close to God, in his feet, taken care by him, trying to serve his purpose, and having a hope in the heart that this might be my last journey here :-) after this back to where i began :-)
Airhead? :-P :-) i don't mind.
Relaxing is one thing I am pretty good at !
ReplyDeleteRains are something I love the most :D
Revel I do with cricket Lovers :D
Romantic I am hopelessly :)
Roaming & Travelling is a favorite pastime
Reptiles I seriously dread *eeks*
Reversing all decisions I make is a given :(
Rehearsing anything is too much for mortals not for me..
Rigid I certainly am not...
R words on google just came in handy I tell you ...
what you do is actually way way way more difficult than I thought earlier... not that I did think it was easy earlier !
