Barrenness in Brrr Major

Just how cold
Do you think
It must be

When the trees
Have all lost
Their blanket of leaves


Sunlit Lanterns

Who says lanterns
Are meant only
For the night

Here are a bunch
Showing off their glory
In broad daylight


In God's Name

When people of one religion
Kill humans from another
In God's name
Then they should keep in mind
That it is their own God
Who hangs his head
In shame

Festival of Lights

Glittering lights
That shimmer all night
Here's to the day
When they'll spread
The warmth in
All of our lives

Mango Crates

Here I sit atop
Loads of crates
The mind full of
Tunes and crazy
Hip hop

A natural phenomenon
When your farm
Has been rewarded
With a bumper crop


Colonial Cousins

Two cousins
Unrelated in form
Are not so unrelated
In functions divine

For while one belts out
Musical scores
The other is busy
Marking time 


Firecracker Fantasy

Sparklers and flowerpots
Rockets and bombs
How I wish I could light
All these firecrackers

But since they are all
So horribly out of reach
It is best to remind myself
It's dangerous to play with fire
