Capturing Changes

 Capturing Changes













Captivating cute cries,

Cheerful, chattering children,

Chanced casual conversations,

Compassionate, caring companions—

Cameras click continuously,

Capturing constant changes,

Creating colorful canvases.

Soldiers- The Pride of Our Nation

  Soldiers- The Pride of Our Nation Their faces were etched with despair,  As the first rays of light woke them up; Another day of toiling ‘Neath the scorching sun, With hardly a proper meal,  And the Brits shouting mercilessly.  They’d go back home, To little, cramped rooms, With empty stomachs, Worn out hands and feet, Only to wake up the next morning, And go through the torment again.  Is this the life we are to forever live? Slaving away all day, Under the control of a foreign ruler,  Is there no hope in this cruel world?  Once, a soldier told another, About the miserable lives they led, Slowly, everyone voiced their concerns, And a little revolt broke out.

Worried was I, What had happened to my love? I ran across the meadows, And then I found you. You were dancing with another, Laughing and smiling, As I just stood there, My world swirling down. Were all those promises Nothing but a lie? How had I failed to see  Beyond those charming eyes? Alas! My wish had come true, But in the cruelest of ways, I was now all alone,  In a world without light. ***

Wistful Memories

 Wistful Memories All alone under the moonlit sky, You and I.  Dancing along with the palm trees, Forged memories.  As the gentle waves brought us closer, Together. I thought we were meant to be forever, Alas! Fate had other plans- yet Remember my love, for I’ll ne’er forget… You and I forged memories together. ***** Poetry form: Ovillejo An old Spanish poem 10 lines, 4 stanzas The first 3 stanzas are rhyming couplets, with the first line having 8-10 syllables, and second line having 3-4 syllables The last stanza is a quatrain, each line having 8-10 syllables  Rhyme scheme: aa bb cc cddc The last line of the quatrain is the combination of the last lines of each couplet (in order)
