Poem : I Love Shillong

Image
I love Shillong, I love Shillong, And yes, I love Shillong. Even today I see your image In the canvas of my mind. I love you, Shillong I truly love you. I often think Did God Himself Paint your beauty On the hills ? Shillong, you look beautiful, You really look beautiful. Trees and greenery wrapped Around soothing hills ----- Like a land  from fairly tales. You look wonderful, Shillong,you look wonderful. The sun and clouds Play together all day long. Watching it all, My heart overflows With waves of joy. " Shillong,I love you" My heart whispers aloud. When Waterfalls, Come dancing down the mountains, Every joy within me Starts dancing like waves. Shillong, I love you. You are the jewel In the eyes of thousands of travelers. Even from afar, I still hear your call. And silently I say ----- I will come again, Shillong, I will come to you. Shillong ,I love you, You fill my heart with delight. ----------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poem : Ten Fools


(photo Credit by Kaboompics.com,free download from pexels.com)


Fool number one
Takes a cheat sheet to the test ---
Fails the paper like the rest.

Fool number two
Knows that smoking kills, oh dear,
Still  lights a bidi, puffing cheer.

Fool number three
Cries, " I'm weak,I'm poor,I'm small,"
Makes a victim of it all.

Fool number four
Spends his savings , what a case ---
On another man's  wife's necklace !

Fool number five
Even dying, loudly cries ;
" Shankara, you must survive ".

Fool number six
Truth is simple,clear,and plain ---
But his tongue's locked up in chain.

Fool number seven
Dances to each gossip word,
Boasts the loudest ,most absurd.

Fool number eight
Morning,evening ,sits and chatters,
Talking nonsense,nothing matters.

Fool number nine
Shivers at his  wife's call
She's the general, he's small.

Fool number ten
Throws his money, what a loss !
Then pretends to be the boss.

Poem : A Moment with Conscience

One day I suddenly met my conscience. I said " What's the matter ? These days I hardly ever see you ! " Hearing me, my conscience brust into  laughter. It said, " Earlier you used to keep me in the mirror, And I too would find the chance To sting you from time to time. But now ------- I'm locked away in the deep freez, solid  ice ." --------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam kumar Mallick
