Sipra's Diary "My Haiku:" 20//2022

 

                     ' My Haiku'??......

The  most compressed form of verbal expression............................                                                                  (1)

  What an weird but simple expression,

  To a lethal virus Covid-19!

 Wash your hands, stay home ,stay safe!........

*****************************************************                                                                             (2)

Words  are  amazing! 

It melts and  soothes the rocky heart, 

also venomous tongue to burn and poisonous teeth to bite .

********************************************************

   (3)

   Human intellect is at stake ; 

   For the universe is under the spell

   Of giant-tech, Artificial intelligence, (AI)!                              . 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

   (4)

   Will the illumined mind  

   Be leveled by AI lawnmower under 

   the pseudo -omniscient  tech-giant  ?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 I took voyage /

Around the world to drink the unexplored beauty

Of nature under the sun and moon- with starlit sky.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>                                                                     (6)

While  missed to notice 

A single  dewdrop dazzles like a diamond 

On a single leaf of grass ,just to my own backyard!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

(7)     .What originates  Haiku ?

To compress  the  freedom of limitless emotions  

To be strangled  in  suffocation under grave?

Sipra's Diary: Title: "Palm Tree" (M). Lines 19//W97

 

     Title : PALM  TREE   by Sipra Roy. 

   Standing on one leg with might

   Surpassing the other plants in height

   The tallest palm tree peeps high 

   As if, wanting to penetrate the sky !

   When its  huge and round leaves 

    Move and sway upward in breeze 

    She wishes let them be her wings 

    To fly her high to be pitched in the sky! 

    

     As the sun disappears, sparing 

     Spaces for the twinkling stars ;

     Softly evening approaches and 

     The breeze stops  the leaves to swing,

     Then  it feels  lonely and begins to moaning 

     For the warmth of mother Earth ,

     And come back  again close  to her

     Where once it  is  rooted since birth!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

  The poem titled  ,"  TAlGACCH"// (which is known here as PALM TREE. ),   I learnt  at grade 2. in  Elementary school;  Like many other.  kids I   also recited it often in different occasions.

Since then unto now ,  whenever a palm tree comes in my visibility , I recite it mentally: "Standing on one leg"!      What   a  wonderful  vivid expression! 

 It was composed by R,N TAGORE,   The only poet in the world who can portrait  such poem ,Though I don't remember the original version of the poem , still the  impression  of  theme  remains .in me .I expressed the feeling in my own way ,

Lines=19//W-97 ( Better one) Title : PALM. TREE

 

     Title : PALM  TREE  (M).  by Sipra Roy. 

 

    Surpassing all other plants in height

    Standing firmly as if in one leg with might 

    The tallest palm tree peeps high 

    Seems  threatening  to penetrate the sky !

 

   When its huge and round leaves 

    Move and sway upward in breeze 

    She seems to wish let the leaves be her wings 

    To fly high to be pitched in the sky! 

    

     As the sun disappears, sparing 

     Spaces for the twinkling stars ;

     Softly evening approaches and 

     The breeze stops to swing the leaves

     The palm tree  begins to languish 

     For the warmth of mother earth 

     And come back  again close to 

     Where  once it took birth!!

                   

Palm tree is known   in Bengali  as "Taal Gaach" about which  .Poet R.N.Tagore wrote this poem.

Though this poem belongs to the syllabus of Elementary school but its  theme is profound and philosophical.

R.N.Tagore won Nobel Prize in literature in 1913.

                   Abiding by the Nature's law  in the cyclic path ,

                   Rainy season comes in the midway of the year. 

                   Sometimes  late,  playing fun to keep us wait in sweat 

                   As the raging  sun throws furious  frowning eyes to earth!

                    Kind Nature spreads  a veil  of  cloud  over earth, to shroud  

                    The burning eyes of  the sun.  Soothing touch of   cloud  

                    Which cajoled  the sun   by  spreading  a   mysterious spell 

                    That melt his heart  in love with abundant showers  on the earth;

                    To cool, cleanse  and drench  by  settling the dust.

                    How sweet is the smell of  first  rain-soaked  soil

                    That  bears the aroma of  First love of  the Zeus- the- sun!

                    The  leaves of trees shiver in joy, while feeding the excess 

                    To the lower branches; and cherish 'share and care of upper class' !

                    How romantic to listen  in the silence of dark night 

                    The concert of  frogs's croak and crickets'  clitter

                    With soft  musical  rhythm  of raindrops: toop-top, toop-top;

'                   Rain whispers, 'I'm the Poetry of nature, not merely the cleanser!'

                    In terms of Bible or spirituality  rain stands as metaphor 

                   For renewal of life, by cleansing sins and negativity ;

                   Though  also causes  lots of  misfortune and agony;

                   Yet it is  considered as vital season of the  whole year!                  

                   I remember how gloomy I felt, in  childhood rainy  day, 

,                 To stay prisoned and  lamenting for spoiling  the fun of  play;

                   Thanks to the  poet who held  the muse  

                   Memorable in childhood rhyme:

                  "Rain Rain go away, come again , another day

                   Little John wants to play.!"

Sipra's Diary. Poem: (Re-named "PUTIN )Confusion With Humanity(. Title is changed as Confusion with conformity)

 

      Confusion with Humanity.

Words=221// L =27

 

"Where  to put PUTIN  ?"asked the rebel leader of Ukraine;

 Shouted the enraged mass, "Burry him under the deepest mine!"

"If  he  explodes  like dynamite to destroy our dwelling!

  For   human  he is a real  object of  contempt and danger .'"

Then, "Let him throw to the fire of volcano to turn

 Into grey ashes !" "That  may  cause again air pollution!

Besides,  settling  down of   ashes  on   the  ground 

Is  also  poison for the  living   world   around;"

"The best solution is to drown him under  the ocean";

'Alas!  he may suck the ocean with wholesome  aqua being !'.

"Lots of problems  hover  with him on earth , ocean and heaven;  

Let us search internet and consult   specialists  for  suggestion!"

The uprooted mob shouted ,"we want tooth for tooth , thorn for thorn

This is  the  eternal norm";

'That's totally wrong !"( thunder roars ):  in  pitch of baritone

 Suddenly  the blue sky was shrouded with black cloud and a message 

with lightening appeared ;""Extract and crush the "ISM"from Putin;

Who will detect how many  future Putins are larking to spread wings!

Can the alchemy of '-ISM' be changed  into a   heart  of  global love ?

Then only  a   new  sun  of  peace-loving  world   can emerge ,

To  erase  all  enmity  and  spread  all-embracing universal fraternity!
