Singpowrimo day 4 prompt: letter to my younger self

Day 4
Letter to younger self - no I
Prompt 2: every stanza a tweet length
Hey you
Glad you kept your innocence
And exuberance for life then...
That you danced like no one was watching
Coz now you are always aware you know
Be more confident
Sure of yourself
You have a lot going for you
Don't expect the praise so much
Even without it you have it in you
Stick with an instrument for gods sake
All that switching !
Treasure those experiences...
Orchestra
Performances
Don't hurt people coz others do it
You were always better than than that
Drop those fierce expectations of people to be good or kind to you!
Thank your mum
She's amazing
And your dad

Singpomo day 2 prompt : poem on a pic

Poem inspired by the pic
Are you dreaming of home
As you lie on this concrete floor?
You hold it up
We press you down
Thank you?
Nameless
Faceless
Signifying nothing more than the hand that builds
A photo remains
Commemorating
The remains of
The only thing that matters

Singpomo day 3 erotica

Erotic poem
Bonus 1 No people
Bonus 2 Pun

Water droplet on a leaf

Crystalline
Crystal like
Delicate

trickle down
Unbreaking
Soft
Down the
Spine

Leaving no mark
But the feeling
Of having been
Caressed
By that touch

Dear

Years years go by
You never leave
No matter how happy I am
How busy I am
You stay right there
Lodged

Do I need you out
Though? 
Maybe not
Just a fact
You are there
Always

I'm sad a bit
I think..
Is it not right?
Is it..wrong?
If it's just a fact
Is it just there
Neither good nor bad?

Roosting time

A flock of white birds in undulating flight
A flock of green parrots calling frantically to one
another... " you ready?  You? How but you? All ready" before taking off on on accord from a tree, green tails flicking behind them. Two mynahs leave off being annoying let go of squabbles and fly off in a pair earnestly determinedly heading north .... to their roosting tree probably , rushing to get there before dark  anxious not to be late
An early bat swoops down along the way too long wings and tiny snout all upturned
Dusk is here and the birds go to roost

Blissful weekend

This was my super weekend!
Started sat with renewed appreciation for taxi drivers as I scaled our tune country for 4 hours on the roads

Then had bonding bonding with aishu baby as I did my office work
Then took the other two splashing in our baby pool

Then games and bed time

Sun-
Made yummy rajma
Then took a double decker bus with kids to esplanade to watch a ballet performance
Lunch at a cafe
Then a taxi to akshaya's dance class for first dance lesson
Then train and bus back home
Then temple for bhajanai
Ashwin  slept on my lap throughout
Very nice!!

Reason I mention mode of transport is when you are with kids.... the journey matters as much if not more than the destination! 

Ants

Like so many ants
Masses of heads
Scurry in and out of the train
