Random Thoughts

Not all stars shine at night,

When they can shine brighter during day,

Not all holes can be patched up,

No, not if they're profound enough.

Not all crumpled paper can be smoothened

Not if the wrinkles sunk in too deep

Not all horses are docile,

Not if they're more adamant than mules.

Not all skies are blue,

If they can be pink or orange - a prettier hue,

Not all clouds block the sun,

Some clouds make silhouettes for fun.

Not everyday does the moon shine bright,

It can't spend all its time in spotlight

Not all promises are kept,

Definitely not all secrets are level and kempt,

They tend to get woven into 

Nasty little rumours.

Not all rocks are the same shape

They can be flat, chipped and weird-shaped,

But all rocks have their place on earth.

Not all waterbodies are still,

There are always miniscule ripples

Not always is everything the same 

In the ever changing world that cannot be paused.

    Different thinking about many things we come across. Random thoughts or special thoughts? Anything can be named. But to write a poem like this is excellent. many things are noticed by all. But to bring it as a poem shows you are not a mute spectator. . You are a original writer with great literary sense . Par excellence

    Excellent realization about the nature as usual with a wonderful message through your poetic expressions. You have deep observations, deep thoughts, deep words and through your deep dedicated message at this child hood stage make even a grown up to think and give them wisdom too
    Feeling proud about you Shriyandhaa.

    Am intrigued by the original flow of yr thoughts into words

    Language is just a tool.. keep thinking, seeking inspiration n feel deeply.

    These lines r another league:
    Not if the wrinkles sunk in too deep

    Not all horses are docile,
    Not if they're more adamant than Mules...

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

What it really feels like, being indecisive.

  Let's get started.  Pick the next line:  You mean I need to choose?  You'll do just fine -  That is NOT true -  Whatever, pick the next -  I CANNOT DECIDE .  I mean why not?  That's my flawed side.  Oh, ambiguous, are we?  Sure, just pick a line for me. Is this turning into a poem?  It better be!  Why can't you decide on one answer?  What if one is better than the next?  Don't think too much about possible blunders -  That is exactly why I fret.  You can't not have an opinion -  But that's how it is.  You should really change -  It's not my fault I'm indecisive.  Think about it, I'm used to heat, but at the moment  I can use some cool But I can survive in the Sahara if I have to But I'll suffer in cold rooms, I might even solidify  But now, the heat is a bit hard to bear  But I'm afraid, the AC might get too extreme -  ALRIGHT, I understand, it's pretty hard to ...

Thunder & Lightning

Lightning is that which intimidates,  But thunder is that which wishes  To follow lightning.  That is to say,  Thunder follows lightning's path,  But reaches a different destination.  But thunder can be far more intimidating -  You don't need to see it to believe it.  But aren't we told to not blindly believe  Whatever we hear?  For all we know, the "thunder" we heard,  Could just be the bark of a very large dog.  But lightning is something we see - But can we believe everything we see?  Perhaps the lightning is just  The lights, somewhere in the sky  Fluctuating.  But if we can't rely on thunder  Or lightning  What if they're both played together?  Though thunder always follows,  Never leads or walks beside,  Surely, we can believe  If we see it, and hear it.  But how great could the coincidences be?  No, to believe it, you must feel it -  And not just a mere ink...
