Maths: A friend or a foe!: A poem by R. Sharanya

We stretch our fingers – one, two, three;
And jump into the sea of geometry!
A fairyland called mathematics;
To solve a problem, so many tricks!

We add, subtract, multiply and divide;
Working with numbers is a joyful ride!
Squares, cubes and so on we find;
Giving a regular exercise to mind!

We recite the tables in chorus voice;
Maths is always our very first choice!
Decimals uniquely joined by dots;
Fractions and roots kindle our thoughts!

We count the toys, trees, and stars;
And calculate the distance to Mars!
Ones, tens and hundreds, it goes….
Infinity and beyond is what Math shows!

Formulas and symbols, all are here;
Simplifications bring everything near!
Maths is always our dearest friend;
Playing with numbers shall never end!!!

A stranger: A poem by Preeti S Manaktala

Image
On a quest to search you—  many questions still remain unanswered. You, a stranger, an enigma and mystical.  I wonder who you really are? Not again, don’t step into my thoughts. Shall I let go of my quest, as you seem too far. You stir my being, question my journey. I long to touch you, you the stranger!  Shall I seek you through the Northern lights? Or see your light in the Fireflies?  Experience your wrath in the Volcanoes  Or your myriad colors through a Rainbow!  You are inaccessible like Moon the stars.  Folklore says I must tread Mount Kailash. Crying and yelling, I even searched for you on my dad's funeral. But now, I find you everywhere!! I feel you in the raindrops. I feel you in the breeze. I feel you through the sun rays. When I close my eyes in ecstasy, I, finally feel you within me...!

Born Again: A poem by Gomathi Mohan

Image
Born to doting parents on a chilly winter noon,  Grew up with four siblings, life was like a boon.   Then came an abrupt end to all my idle fooling,  Born again to lessons, as they started my schooling.  Thought had grown up, now that I was in college,  Born again to lectures, busy acquiring knowledge.  Got a job to my relief, set about to make a career,  Born again despite the whims of bosses every year.                    Married, now that I was grown up, happy to be released,  Born again, at my new home, with many to be pleased.  Then came my li'l Angel, happy the cycle had ended,  Born again as a parent, on us,  she wholly depended.  Finally put in my papers,  wanting to be an idyll,  Inner self, however, wanted my passion to unbridle.      Born again a writer, having found my Muse,  Loving it every bit, a life I got to choose. A space of my own where my soul finds repose,  Penning away as mind dictates,  poetry or prose.  In and out of stages, bor

Petrichor: A poem by Vandana Saxena

Image
You left to accomplish your onus to the nation with pride Leaving behind your aroma and love for the new bride. The orange ball rises, piercing the dark skies But she awaits your return, with those dusky brown eyes The taste of your last touch, on her fervent lips, The warmth of your arms sank her in petrichloral dips. The musk of your embrace is saturated in her breath   She’ll wait for you until she meets death    The long wait made her rough, brittle, and dry Still, she beams with the longing that you’ll return, or at least try A few pearls dropped soothing the warm dusk Along with wet kisses settling the hollow dust   The rains that were seized at the corner of her eye And the rains that were waiting at the heavenly doors, Finally, poured out on his startling arrival, As they waft the soothing aroma again Of Love and Petrichor!
