Nonet


Panchali
Cowering in much shame when disrobed -9
her cringing  appeal went in vain-8
elders mum, husbands silent-7
her hands went up to Lord-6
Achudha,Anantha-5
her robe grew long-4
rogue fell limp-3
to her-2
joy-1

This is the story of Draupadhi married to Pandava brothers
who went through untold suffering for a princess
and whose unalterable faith in Lord Krishna
enabled her overcome  many times.
The efficacy of total surrender to God is conveyed here.

The rain 
The grey clouds in mournful darkish sky (9)
swaying branches in blowing wind (8)
flapping birds seeking safe nooks (7)
people rushing to home(6)
kids playing in joy(5)
blinding lightning(4)
loud thunder(3)
downpour(2)
rain(1)

Living in a tropical city,Chennai,rain has always held
my fascination.It is much looked forward in a state that is mostly
rain fed for its water and agriculture.

  1. Partha, your poems appeal to our senses, be it an abstract or concrete theme.
    You have been able to bring alive the vivid images beautifully.
