Gayathri's Prose and Poetry

 The Blossoming Meadow Interspaced between the delicate daisies, Pretty purple poppies bloom in the meadow. Across the several stretched-out, vast valleys,  The sun casts its rays down in a warm yellow. The fragrance of the flowers wafts through the breeze, And the entire atmosphere is set aglow. Wish I could be part of nature’s fantasies, Drowned in the sweet voice of the singing swallow. *** Poetry Form:

  Time's Ticking The little world around does change so fast, That everything seems quite temporary. Every day’s so different from the last… Too many changes, I’m just not ready. I oft find myself dwelling in the past, Wishing a life without any worry. Time’s moving at an exponential pace, Can’t keep up unless I’m part of the race. ***** Poetry Form: Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCC Final couplet provides a summarizing, emphatic or witty conclusion the stanza's idea 10 syllables per line

The Monster   ‘ Ah!’ She screamed, her face turned white, She ran away in a fright.  The roach shook its little head, ‘Humans’, it rolled its eyes and said. *** Poetry form: Nashers

A Rendezvous with the Sea   On the sands I lay By the serene bay In peace. Coconut trees sway,  I feel a cool spray, A breeze. I could fore’er stay In this sunny day By seas. *** Poetry Form: Lai
