A Fuzzy Cool Guest

A Fuzzy Cool Guest

As I lay resting on my bed in the dorm,
The soft sun rays slanting, fell on my face, keeping me warm.
Through the window above my head,
Eyes closed as I played sleeping or dead !
A velvet duvet circled my legs,
An attempt to keep the cold out that stole suddenly as the weather transformed.
Typical of that piece of land.

Unaware I lay
As the door opened.
Unaware of the soft, stealthy paws,
Hopping playfully on the floor across my bed.
Unaware of the cute mess created,
The pages of a book flying across the room.
Pens chewed upon.
Sweater sprawled.
A cozy made for ‘the guest’ !

And then, soft paws
I felt along my legs,
Through my duvet
Moving upwards.
Promising to spank me awake,
Gave me a certain start.
As I lay staring
Into a pair of familiar watchful eyes.
Of my uninvited, fuzzy, cool guest
Staring keenly,
Unrelenting,
Teaching me reproachfully,
The importance of time I wasted !
The agility of kittens and lethargy of humans !

    Yet another good poem by Guncha.A good example of objectification.There is something like surrealism as the reader is not able to figure out whether the poet is talking about a real life experience or writing about a dream

Morning Twilight

Morning twilight Being with the universe is a rare gift, Reserved for those that do not drift. Dare to rise before the morning light, At the dawn twilight. Before the sun rises up in the sky, To share in unique a joy. Watch the mixing of colours, On the horizon’s canvas. As the nature paints, A sensational scenery in grey, black and white, Dawdling its brush in scattered orange sunlight. Deft brush strokes pulling out some blue, From the sky to add a purple hue. Quite a visual treat it is, To see the Master paint His masterpiece! See that orange colour, Form a hint of a semicircle where heaven and earth meet each other ! See the birds leave their cozy nests, Riding on the cloudy crest. Adding sound to the vision so far created, To an emotional experience early riser is treated. Chirping and singing such natural music, Scenery just got more attractive ! Now the breathing movements get added, From the trees that open up their branches. Creating silhouettes s

The Mummy !

The Mummy Thousands of years In the twilight of history, A knight galloped Across the territory. Over the hills Across the desert, To woo a dame A beauty, to treasure. Many a mile he covered For many a day, To reach the castle The goal of his way. The hour was of twilight Exhaustion, slight Wonderstruck he stood Anticipating the sight. Darkness fell all around, The knight stood still... lost in reverie. Of the eyes he thought The musical laughter, The childish games The leaking shelter. A swift command to the horse With joy in his heart, Paraded ahead And gave a start. Amongst the ruins Of carved slate and stone, Rose a tomb On which an inscription shone; “In the memory of all those Who laid their lives To a fury Heaven had never unleashed before.” Shrieking like a madman He entered the tomb, And gazed at the corner Where a red bud bloomed. Pitchers and pots Antiques and dreams, Shining jewels And craftsmen’s seams. He stood like a

The Racehorse !

The Racehorse ! The gallant stallion, Stands his ground. He huffs and puffs, Courage abound. He gauges the distance, While he canters around. Then changes his stance, To a gallop resound. Charges ahead, Other horses he astounds. His neck moves like a wave up and down, Jockey in the stirrup stands, to help gain ground. Stallion covers such a distance, Even the jockey confounds. Leaving the grandstand spectators, All dumbfound. He gallops till the racetrack he can lead, Opponents with their Jockeys pick up speed ! With bridled precision our stallion sped, Oh ! such a thoroughbred. To think this is his first race, No frown on his forehead can one trace. From gate to the flag, Not missing a beat. The crowds cheer this Mighty beast ! Dr. Guncha Gupta 1/5/2019
