PRELUSION FRAISE AND FOUNDATION  After soulful thanks to Almighty for showering His choicest blessings on me for successful completion of ' Fraise and Foundation' my English Poetry Book, within 21 days, I would like to extend my heartiest thanks to voracious global readers for constantly devouring my all literary works in multi-languages. " Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo", said Don, the critic. Poetry is the world's premier human eloquence, a sheer spontaneous out flowing of sentiments, from the innermost recesses of heart and should be felt in the art of voracious readers. Poetry touches every inch of habitable earth and acquires cultural conquest. It is also cultivating culture. I penned my first poem in 1970 and kept composing poems in Hindi and English off and on; but absolute commitment to pen- crafting poems began in 1989 and I have been treading literary corridors continually since then,...

 When horizon seemed  To unite with the Earth In the dusky hours Valley seemed to be under Spell of scenic beauty Soothing breeze  Cool, clear, still water Lotuses blooming in Dal lake With their pink charm Furnished treat for eyes A lonely lotus  Seemed to be waiting  For bumblebee With soft petals  As if stretching arms  Inviting Bumblebee to embrace  The bumblebee fascinated by her charm Stayed there overnight  Got enfolded in the petals of Lotus With dawn, petals unfolded  The Lotus was in full bloom But, the bumblebee flew away From captivation    Every dusky evening The lovelorn lotus Waits for him  With extended arms Unaware of lusty nature  Of the bumblebee  But, the flirt never returns  To the same blossom again. Such is the innate nature  Of t hat creature.  Wait of the lotus continues persistently But bumblebee never returns to Same blossom again. Lovelorn lotus and flirt bumblebee Both ...

Holding hand of, own child Teach him to move with spontaneity  Even in adverse situations  Endeavoring to make his life a bed of roses Also Point out to him thorns on pathways of life Teach him art of smiling  Even while hiding tears in eyes Impart him lessons of self-reliance Holding head high with self-dignity Shading him under umbrella of his affection  Protect him from adversities of life

  51. FREE  FLIGHT Parent birds themselves  Guide their young, innocent Ones How to fly  Then, why after  Teaching them to fly  They instruct  Their progeny  To remain confined in cage With clutched wings.   One who is competent  To fly high Will definitely touch Own highest destination But you should trust They will never forget you Who made them capable  Of stretching wings To fly high. So, instead of doubt and suspicion Bless them to soar high.  Your own is sure to rest  From time to time  In shade of your affection. @Rajni Chhabra

 Sparrows encaged in  cages Since ages Planned salvage Pleaded to fowler For release from cages Vast expanse of sky  Seemingly implored them  To break shackle But how to overcome  Fear of free flight in vast expanse  Where eagles and vultures  Too fly free with wide wings Crooked beaks, sharp paws  And vigilant eyes for prey That might snatch their iife Fowler tried to caution them But had to succumb to wish of  Adamant sparrows. Instead of taking solo flight They flied in flock Seeing their tactics  Eagles were now in a shock. It is never easy to attack  An organized army With will power  That does not care for adversities  Stands firm like rock. Now fowlers too have changed their mind  Feeling happy to see cheerful fluttering wings Prefer to let the birds enjoy free flight. Rajni Chhabra  Multi lingual Poetess and Translator
