Moonlight memories
Tok-odio-dioooo! Summoned the troupe
Responses came like echoes
Playgrounds witnessed get-togethers
In praise of the Great Architect
For the gift of moon and her light
Stories of tortoise in exploits
Brave lion caught in his greed
Smart wise saying had their leads
Lessons of the ages embedded in them
Convention of healthy culture preserved
Moonlight games came in various shades
Dancers mimicked natives’ foibles
In marriage and rites of passage
Hunters tagged on their projectiles
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Came back with ecstatic welcome
Tortoise has his plentiful pranks
Elephant in a tug of war
With Hippo tied at the far end
Socked by verve of the undersized
Impostors are all around us
Moon shines in luminous glory
Parks are empty without a call
Kids and elders are now indoors
Cyber world, virtual reality
Array set for latest values

Favorite Poets
Inspired by an article in an old manuscript
It reads:
AXIOMS OF PERFECTION
In the physical order – In the realization of the dream of beauty
In the moral order – In the realization of the dream of love
In the intellectual order – In the realization of dream of poetry
In the spiritual order – In the realization of the dream of the mystics
