Happy new year to you all..
Leave alone the degrees of its variation.
Happy new year to you
Because you are all dear to me.

We may note that some of our poet friends stoop down to levels of mudslinging at those whom they don`t like, making derogatory remarks, posting hurting comments and then managing to win the appreciation of a few for some other writes in all hypocrisy.

Another wrong habit to be done away with is excessive submission of many poems at a time on a regular basis!

This winter too, we can see
Will arrive like a dragon
With a thousand tooth sharp enough
To bite into the bones of the homeless.

SEPTEMBER 5 is celebrated in India as TEACHERS`DAY and the celebration is done on the day which is the BIRTH DAY of Late Dr SARVEPALLI RADHAKRISHNAN [THE SECOND PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA]who was a great teacher.

On this September 5 I am paying tribute to 6 of my STAR TEACHERS whom I have ever loved, respected and of whom I have ever been proud as they were and are my great teachers of all times.

The sudden departure of the beloved ones
Often casts many a dark cloud on our blue sky of life
It cripples us and tests our mobility across the track full of boulders
And then leaves us stranded with many a pedestrian passing by.

Introduction:

'Nagaramlo Vrushabham' is a popular Telugu poem written by Srirangam Srinivasarao [Sri Sri ].
Here is the translation of it in English.
...

If God ever wishes to befriend me,
First I shall tell him,
'Wait, let me feel You once'
And I shall stretch my hands to Him.
...

Quiet flows a small river
And a small boat floats on its silence.
Nothing goes wrong for some time-
Nothing at all goes wrong....
...

A scare hitherto unknown haunts,
A sigh of seasons ahead is heaved,
An anguish over these times and
An ambivalence of what is done or not is there
...

A camel
That walks alone
Across the desert unending
Has no pretentions.
...

A Friendship Day yet again
And I stand at the crossroads looking at them.
I stand in the dark while they stand in the light
And I begin to see them, only a few..
...

On this September 21 comets will not be seen in the sky
Nor will there be any extra flare up in the Sun
And the day will surely pass off as usual
After making me again older
...

I want my yesterdays back
They were bubble like
And they broke before
I were to hold them like a child.
...

Thou
art a star
now eclipsed for ever
And thou hath ever illuminated
...

Jesus the Nazareth,
Yet again a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you
It is your *2017th Birthday,
The pages of history down the Earth say it.
...

A village in flood pleads for mercy
With its habitat done with disaster sans mercy.
The tears roll down and soon mix with flood waters
And the homes deserted do not dry back up to the rafters.
...

A cuckoo singing at the twilight
Taps my window softly.
A pale tree and a drooping sky
Are there to humble my thoughts
...

I welcome 2014
With a smile born 49 years ago as passed from my granny,
I welcome the New Year
With a sigh born some years later as my mom ever had had it,
...

It`s not an illusion or not
As some say, nay some chant
In between the moments of living and dying
Every one feels the scent of love.
...

When I breathe my last
I wish if an angel were to take me upwards
Unto the skies beyond which I had never seen when alive
And then into the Abode of God who would wait for me too.
