gleaming bright colors
hued with the paints of sparkle
fireworks in the sky
~
fun festival times
a play of fire all around
the burning night skies
~
radiant ablaze
reflecting back the beauty
still river waters
~
the dusk approaches
warding off evil spirits
with glazing fireworks
~
across river bank
looking for the hanabi
come hoards of tourists
~
a boom and a bang
piercing silence of the dark
the lights of glory

tip-tip-toe-tip-tip
music of rain on pavement
lost in memories
~
out of oblivion
clouds shade the sky in its cloak
the first drops fell down
~
a midsummer rain
relieving yearning pupils
a solace from heat
~
elevated Sun
drizzling clouds in the sunshine
look for the rainbow
~
the midsummer’s day
longest in glory and rays
washed down by the rain
~
looking through window
a play of the rain droplets
meditating life

Here I tell a man’s story-
How he unleashed the power,
And achieved his glory.
Despite of the prevalent blood shower.
.
The man was adventurous,
Looking for the gold,
That is the most lustrous,
Which requires him to be quite bold.
.
He reached the bloody land.
Where there were present the relics of war,
He dug up the sand,
Till he reach the earth’s core.
.
Astounded, he found the big egg,
Made up of pure gold,
Without anyone’s reg,
He touched it, so cold.
.
The thunder rocked the sky-
And descended a big creature,
Scared, darkened color of deep fry,
And that very much tells about his feature.
.
The man, once terrified,
Did not know what to do,
And even cried,
And even peed, but not in the loo.
.
The creature sensed fear,
And spoke as if wanting man to adhere-
“Oh My Dear!
How dare you touch this sphere?”
.
The man was shaken,
But gained his sword ,
His body, nicely awaken,
Cut the head of the darkness’ lord.
.
The fight was won,
Which wasn’t a fight at all,
The deed was done,
The man’s head rose in pride tall.
.
Here comes the end of the story,
How a man unleashed the power,
And attained his false glory,
With no blood shower.
That was fun… I loved writing it. I know it is absurd, but that is the best thing about it, I think. Just for a quick laugh- yes, you can laugh reading this hopeless flop story.
