Gita Ashok Poems

Gone are the days when poetry had many rules.
Today it’s a serious hobby indulged by many fools.
No matter what month, day, date or time
no matter whether there’s form, rhythm or rhyme,
...

When Death comes knocking,
it matters not
who you are
or what you've got;
...

Late in the evening
as a cool breeze blew,
the fronds
of the coconut palms
...

Armed with aptitude, ambition, ability;
being yourself all the time;
carrying calmness of mind and clarity of thought;
dressed in desire, determination, discipline and dedication;
...

Where is the House Sparrow
that I used to see ten years ago?
Chirping, flitting and looking
for seeds and grain below.
...

Grass is green.
We all do know that.
But sometimes it is greener
and in some places it is the greenest.
...

Fireflies amidst tall trees
silently chase away darkness
on a cloudy moonless night.
...

I’m a content writer striving
to be content with my content.
Based in an Asian sub-continent,
I love to read and write content.
...

Etches and sketches
created on our mind’s canvas
by our infinite stream of thoughts
in deep sleep and in waking hours.
...

Just one Sun
and so many sunrises.
Just one Universe
and so many nations.
...
