G'bye

Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbyes but then it is necessary too at times! A little trivia: Goodbye is short for – “God be with you”. When people used to take leave the host would say – Have a safe journey. God be with you!  :)

Here is an acrostic Haiku!

Bye

Bid adieu today

Yesterdays are past and dead

Engage your present

Old

When one becomes old one has seen life’s ups and downs. They become more mature and less materialistic. More or less people tend to turn towards spirituality much later in life. When they are young all they think about is worldly pleasures, joys and acquiring wealth to lead a luxurious life. Of course there is nothing wrong in it! :)

I guess it is natural that when we have exhausted all the possibilities we turn towards Self! We are so caught up in the everyday struggle of existence that we never had time to think about one’s genesis. As a result, our attention turns to spiritualism when we get old.

Old

One seeks the origins

Less of I, me, mine and gains

Dawn of harmony sought

What do you plan to do when you get old?! :) Would you go on a self quest??

Pet

When you have a pet animal you learn a lot from it. Probably that’s why it is good for children to have their own pet dogs or cats. I was 15 years old, when I brought home a puppy! :) It was a delight - the first bath, the first bowl of milk, the cardboard box which was Timmy’s house, the first time he learned to climb stairs. All are fond memories now. But I seriously don’t like it when it bites me!! :( Even then Timmy is a good dog. My best buddy who has been with me all these years! :D see I have sketched him!!

Piercing whines echo

Earnest eyes filled with love

Tearful when we part

Thanks for stopping by!

Anger

Anger is a very powerful destructive force. So much that it can destroy anything and everything. A person can lose for instance, his mind, friends, and life earnings in a fit of rage. A place can be victimized by the nature’s fury - a hurricane or volcano. A nation could be destroyed through a futile war, or the wrath of oceans such as tsunami. Finally the world could be thrown to non existence due to terrorism or global warming. These are all examples to illustrate the results of intense anger.

Therefore it is imperative to practice self-control and to pacify one’s anger in order to avoid total destruction. You have to be the master of your senses to experience joy. Though anger is a negative quality it too can be used constructively. For instance, if one shows or channelizes one’s anger (intensity) on beneficial purposes such as improving marks/grades at school, learning a new skill or language, et cetera it would bring amazing results. While you are waiting at a counter, or if you have been put on hold by customer service or anybody, instead of fuming over it just relax and complete your little errands in that time. Such as, read your pending mails/messages, review your presentation notes, think of a present you’d buy for your little one/friend, make a list of people you want to invite to your weekend party or just listen to your favourite music and chill out.

Now I feel like I have jabbered a lot so I’ll head back to my poetry, a haiku this time acrostic one!

Ire

It melts and erupts

Roasted crimson lava threatens

Entombed lies a city
