Naive Monsoon - #MonsoonDiaries

Day #3  of WTFOW#5- I have come up with Choka poetry for letter N of Monsoon that signifies Naive things about it. The newness in everything around that Monsoon brings in is so pleasant to experience.

Choka poetry (the classical Choka is formed by writing 5-7 syllables couplets for as many lines as you like ending however with an extra 7 syllable line



Nature's vibrant spill
Showers infuse youthfulness   


Liveliness flourish
Innocent art all around      


Bloom, grow time to rise
With undivided vigour       

   
Look what it whispers
Master the childlike approach

Strike the fanatical chord

Xylophonic Reflection

This post has won a WOW badge from Blogadda :)

Holidays on cruise
with my family and friends

There is so much fun
absorbing all happiness

Excluding worries
until cruise hit giant rock

Commotion in air
all scattering here and there

I was left alone
in a skimmed, dull and rough boat

I looked in river
to see the depth and was scared
My reflection smiled
I didn’t, amazed looked again

It was a message
from my own calm reflection

Trust self, keep courage
hearing this I gathered nerve

Rowed till my arm drain
reaching the deserted shore

When stepping from boat
looked again at reflection

This time perfect smile
was reflecting from my face


Content I thanked reflection.

This form of poetry is Choka, the classical Choka is formed by writing 5-7 syllables couplets for as many lines as you like ending however with an extra 7 syllable line.

Sparkling Solitude

Walking unaided
I assemble my thoughts

Over silent sea
Drizzle plays euphoric sound
I need your deepness
To prioritize dreams

To learn how to balance
Relations with perfect colour

I need your wisdom
For appropriate pathway

Solitude my hero 
love you everlastingly

Your presence builds view
Clearly answering questions


You are my truthful mentor


The above is the Choka poetry which is formed by writing alternately 5 /7 syllable couplets and then ending the poem with an extra seven-syllable line.
