Hobbies

My hobbies you ask?
It's quite a task,
To jot those down

Many many things
The mind springs
My  thoughts count

Many books I read,
I love to eat
To Curl my toes and sleep

I love to sing
My steps have a spring
To discuss many issues deep

I cook and I clean
I dress and I preen
I love to incessantly shop

To define what I am
My dulls and my glam
The keys have gone hippety hop

I travel and I drive
To be  fit I strive
Gifts, I like to give

I laugh and I cry
Every moment I try, life
To the fullest to live 😊😊😊

The tree in the show

I was a tree in a show.
When all else were kings and queens,
And were soldiers brave.
I was the tree in that show.

 

When they spoke, sang,
Walked, ran, fought,
Discussing things grave,
I was the tree in that show.

 

They sang and danced.
Romanced poetic lines.
Voices showing shades of gray
I was a tree in that show.

 

I stood one side, gentle.
My body brown with a cap of green.

Some eyes may have caught the sway

Of the only tree in the show

 

But not once that day, or ever in time
I felt low or any less.
I learnt each part as I gently swayed,
Being the only tree in that show

 

When the knight rose to kill the king
With wild passion in his eyes
The audience breath for a moment stayed,
Forgetting the tree in the show

 

Forget he did, the knight his lines
Wild passion turned to panic
Before the stammer could hit his lips
Loudly swayed the tree in the show

 

I whispered the knight, the part I knew
The lines brought back the passion
The king was killed without any slips,

I was a still tree in that show
I was still a tree in that show

Lazy Saturday

When the lazy sun refuses to wake up
Nudging the floating clouds with his toe,
When the quilt envelopes the whole wide bed
Hiding even the truant pillow
On such a wintry Saturday
With a cup of steaming tea
I curl my toes into the warmth
And switch to the dreamy me.
Oh ! I know the dreary workload
The relentless adult rules
I know the muddle of responsibilities
Understand that I wear big shoes.
But till my tea is still hot
And sun still hides his head
Give me a few more dreamy moments
In my quilt covered , still warm bed
