LIFE

Oh Life! You've got different faces!
Roses are there, but thorns also sing the song;
You bring both laughter and tears along.
You are a road and we, weary travelers,
With love or hate make it smooth or rough.
You seem to be but are not very tough.
Sorrow may come before joy
But that's only thing that makes it sweeter.
The only message you give us is
To spread peace and more of bliss!

P.S. This poem was written in 2004 when I was a Class 11 student. The task was to write a poem with a particular set of words and I came up with what is written above.

SHE

She has gone for her new life
Amongst the mountains and lonely trees,
To accompany them which they needed,
For getting the same, to God, they pleaded.
She is shining with the mountain sunshine
Spreading the golden beauty all around.
She is falling with the rain
Filling the lakes and pains.
She is blowing with the wind
Providing a soothing effect at the end.
She is flying with the birds
Spreading the message of peace and love.




She is there with the stars,
Bid her 'Good Morning', not 'Good Bye'.




P.S. This was the second poem I ever wrote. The first one was submitted as a class assignment and is lost forever. So, this is my first 'available' poem. It was written when I was in Class 11 and was getting bored sitting in the library of my school. It is of fourteen lines which makes it a sonnet. The last two lines are separated from the earlier twelve lines like an 'English (Shakespearean) Sonnet'. However, it doesn't follow the rhyme scheme of any kinds of sonnet and is written in free verse.
