Yes We Can Plant Trees #AToZChallenge

The Weeping Cedar Woman of Tofino in Vancouver Island,

Sheds tears as forests are under threat from (in)human hand.

What right do we have to harm what we didn’t grow?

Her out-stretched hand conveys what we already know-

Xerox The Good Times #AToZChallenge

How we wish the good times to last!
But, time seems to run pretty fast!

If only there was a way to store...
Would fill boxes, bottles & more!

But, a bottle of happiness is not for sale,
Enjoy the good times without fail

Xerox the good times- they are wealth!
Replay them to be in the pink of health!

Life is uncertain & can burst like a bubble.
When we xerox the goodness, we double!

Do you wish to xerox the good times?

Worst Is Over #AToZChallenge

When worries don't seem to end,
Things aren't as per your plan,
Life takes a surprise sharp bend,
Much happens in a short timespan...

Just believe all will be well,
This too shall pass, you'll see!
Heavenly days for you after hell!
Why drown in unwanted misery?

Dark nights are followed by days;
Tiring days by soothing nights.
For dreams now make space!
Also time to bask in the lights.

Whatever happens is God's plan really.
What, Why, When, Which- don't bother.
The best is on its way for you & me.
Learn & march ahead; The worst is over!

Virgin Victim #AToZChallenge

The air was still & grave,

Drenched in emotional wave...

I wept for her lost virginity...

Cursing shady elements from city.

Insensitive anti-social act,

Rebel rapists without tact...

Plucky victim lost worth-

Ex-virgin land(s) of Planet Earth,

All requesting solution-
Stop mindlessly causing pollution.

How do you feel when you find pollution in virgin lands? Why should the victim suffer, while those responsible roam scot-free?

I'm participating in my maiden #AToZChallenge. V For - Virgin, Victim
My Theme is- Poems About Life.

Note- This is a 44 words poem. Here the term 'Virgin Victim' refers to Planet Earth's virgin lands that have lost their virginity owing to humans. The term also denotes rape victims. Virginity is sacred. Hope its sanctity is maintained.

Underdog #AToZChallenge

Top Dog & Underdog were at their best,
The competition was their acid test.

The crowd jeered for their favourite;
The Underdog felt left out in the fight.

Time To Think #AToZChallenge

Many times we lament & complain-
There's no time even to stare or think.
We long to revisit the past again...
Time has simply passed by in a blink...

Simplicity #AtoZChallenge

In this world that's after hi-fi status, brand & personality,
What are the survival prospects of plain simplicity?

Being simple & adhering to simplicity can backfire?
Is being simple silly & not seen as an object of desire?

Ready To Dance #AToZChallenge

I am Ready to Dance when-
- I hear a peppy song!
- Things don't go wrong!
- I'm healthy & strong!
- I don't miss the alarm dong!
- Waiting-time in Queue isn't long :)

Don't Quit #AToZChallenge

When life is terrible & seems quite a pain;
You're overburdened with stress & strain;
Nothing's right, no matter what you do;
How to approach life, you have no clue...

Princess To Queen #AToZChallenge

"Walk straight & tall; Sit properly,
Don't burp or slurp; Eat nicely; 
Take care of your body & face;
Carry yourself with grace...
👸 👑
Don't climb a tree or ride a bike;
Behave well; Be prim & lady-like.
Don't argue or raise your voice;
You're a Princess- you've no choice..."
👸 👑
Supposed-to-be Queen after princess,
Felt like a pawn on a board of Chess!
Despite this, she had a mind of her own.
They couldn't set her life's tune or tone.
👸 👑
