1 - For Little Vyomi On Her First Birthday (12th June 2023)

Poem by Bharati Nayak


For Little Vyomi On Her First Birthday (12th June 2023)


Your smile, so innocent, so cute
It brightens up my day as I hold you

What are you thinking, little baby?
Does your Grandma's lap feel like a soft cushion?
Do you want to tell, how you love me?
Do you want to be cuddled and loved?

When you smile, my glooms get vanished
All worries are dissipated
I find my childhood in your baby smile
So lovely, so adorable!

Little angel, May God's blessings
Be with you always.
May He protect you in all difficulties
May He guide you on the path of truth
With His mercy, may you grow up
To be a loving and kind human being.

2 - Could A Fish Be The Cause Of Our Disagreement? (Is A Fish In Between Us - A Bone Of Contention?)

Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Could A Fish Be The Cause Of Our Disagreement? (Is A Fish In Between Us - A Bone Of Contention?)


My friends affirm that I am an adept at cooking fish, flawlessly, although my spouse disagrees, vehemently.

She claims I always overdo the cooking,
but I find them just right, without any mistaking.

I prefer mine crispy, she likes them tender,
our opinions differ, but we won't surrender.

So, we stuck a deal, as all great partners do,
I'll cook them her way, and she'll cook them mine too.

Together we'll experiment, and hopefully, we'll find,
a method to prepare fish that pleases our combined mind.

We have been endeavoring for past two decades or so,
but haven't reached anywhere to resolve our woe.

Bri's Notes: line 6: I've suggested 'struck' in place of 'stuck', ha ha.
Let's have NO, or very little, fighting in the kitchen. Save it for the living
room! !

4 - Happy Father's Day

Poem by James McLain


Happy Father's Day


On this day, dear father, we gather with glee,
To celebrate your love and the man you be.
With a heart full of gratitude, we honor your way,
Happy Father's Day, our words cannot convey.

You've been a guiding light through every storm,
Teaching us values, keeping our spirits warm.
Your laughter, your wisdom, forever we'll hold,
A bond so strong, more valuable than gold.

You've taught us to dream and to always aspire,
To face life's challenges with unyielding fire.
Your gentle strength, a beacon in the night,
Through your love, we've learned what's truly right.

In your embrace, we found solace and care,
A rock in our lives, always willing to share.
You've shown us the power of a father's embrace,
With your presence, our hearts find endless grace.

Today and always, we honor your name,
In our hearts, your love forever shall remain.
Happy Father's Day, a tribute to you,
For the joy and love you continually imbue.

Topic(s) of this poem: Fathers, celebrate

Bri's Notes: Well SOME fathers may be stinkers (look up the word!) , BUT...
someone once said something like THIS: 'Judge not lest yea be judged.', ...
'yea' meaning 'you'. You can look up 'lest'. ;)

5 - I'll Hold You Close

Poem by Jayne Louise Davies

I'll Hold You Close


Distant memories lost in time,
I close my eyes and think of you.
Memories of the way we were,
Glaze my eyes, like morning dew.

I hear your voice so clearly now,
A loving smile, lights up your face.
We walk together, hand in hand,
Then head for home, that special place.

I miss your love, I miss those times,
The love you shared, your love for me.
It broke my heart, you fell asleep,
No greater friend will ever be.

I'll hold your memory close to heart,
Your love will flow within my veins.
I'll hold you close, right to the end,
My dear Mum, we'll meet again.
