Jaishree Nair Poems

Got up
On the wrong side of the bed;
Feeling of foreboding;
Trifle uncomfortable;
...

My father -man of few words,
lovable he was for most,
insisted on the best for us
his two little princesses.
...

Behind the curtain of darkness;
Silhouetted by ghostly weirdness;
Innocence of childhood bruised;
The wailings of torture suffused;
...

Tossing and turning she lay wide awake;
It was past midnight
Sleep had eluded her that night
Ticking of the clock loud in the night
...

With pride in my stride,
With grace in my dignity,
I claim with all my might,
Yes, a teacher, a social builder, I am!
...

If I had a brother
to wipe my tears dry;
so dejected I would not have felt-
For alone I have cried many a time!
...

A shelter zone,
for a few social builders
on the first floor
of an academic institution.
...

She waited anxiously,
Its the time of advent,
the return of her beloved
who had left in a huff.
...

An institution in the name of a great saint,
Affiliated to the central board of secondary education,
The origin of many professional geniuses;
Scattered all over the world.
...

I searched for it here and there
I could not find it anywhere
I asked my friends
They shrugged indifferently
...
