Modi ... Poems

TODAY....

So much to say
So much I can't say to you
...

Ominous black clouds fly on high
A tin roof glints with pallid light
Animals constantly sigh
And owls sing loudly, mournfully.
...

I saw you, resting your weight on one foot
Gazing around the strange environment
“Shall I fly off now” you thought
“Or stay a while longer? ”

He came in colors of beginnings and hope
He wore the colors like a name,
but what are the colors of fame?
He colored with friendship as a golden rope.
...

He loves me, he loves me not
I believe he loves me, what else have I got?
When I come home his greeting is warm
A big smile for me being quite the norm

At least for the first few meets.
But was welcomed warmly by cohorts
And sensed the promise of many treats.

My house has seen many students come and go
Many nationalities have been a joy to know
Min liked to live his life really Chinese
English often brought him to his knees.
...

Years ago I watched
as the seedling was planted
I watched it become a sapling
I watched it grow to maturity.
