Two Liners (Snippets Of Life31-40)

Rating: 5.0


31.Destiny's Gift

He fixed son's wedding with all readying
But upped to shower heavenly blessing


32.Observation

Two crows challenged one on one in triplets
Joining the challenge a chick in duplets*


33. At last

She gushed breaking all the man-written fate
Cauveri came for Pushkar fest in spate


34. News Papers' English

Ceaseless presence of too many new words
Reading becomes disgusting being off words


35. Mobile Sympathy

They shot and shot till the boy fell on earth
While stray dogs were gnawing the child to death


36.Disparity In Pitying

He rescued the monkeys used for begging
But left helpless the gypsies with begging


37. World Is Too Much

World has too much of knowledge for its mirth
World book is more heavier than the earth


38. Allusively That Night

'Come down my star, closer' he told the sky
Star came too closer.The rest watched the sky


39. Mixie Chops

Power failed.In haste she stirred with her hand
In haste power came to chop off her hand


40.Sacred Ganga

She has long been cleaning up our sins, but
Whose waste who to clean up in today's threat


Note: * duplet noun
du·​plet
plural -s

two musical notes played in the time of three of the same value

In every religion there is a belief that there is a way to clean up the sins, may be a sacred river, pilgrimage or alms. Such beliefs reflect the guilty conscience of the man. But when sins touch the Himalyas the source of Ganges even the sacred river becomes helpless. I liked all the two liners of this poem.

Destiny's Gift to observation to mobile sympathy heavenly blessing is needed. God gives us this blessing in abundance. We clean sins and adore virtue. Due to righteousness we develop more. This poem is well penned basin on scriptural perception. Brilliant expression is witnessed here.10

So pleased Kumar...two liners or couplets looks simple....but much challenging for me to present a matter wholly in condensed form of two lines...this seems to be so interesting too...I'm happy you commented on this...thanks many times...God bless you
