Jan 06, 2010 8:39 pm F.O.R.M. Contest Grand Prize Winner- Manohar #
Jack Huber Thanks to all who participated in my contest, for which I received some sonnets, a septolet, a Monchielle, a musette, and a diamante.
The scores were all within 5 points of each other on my 40 point system (10 points each for conformity to form, level of difficulty, poignancy, and poetic content.) A very close contest, endeed!
The winner of the Grand Prize (an autographed copy of my latest book, A Splendid Alternative, is Manohar Bhatia with his Monchielle, "Beyond the Mountain Wall". Congratulations for a fine poem, Manohar!
Here's the winning piece:
Beyond the Mountain Wall
Beyond the mountain wall
at the end of valley
is beautiful plateau
with a cluster of huts
all same like a ghetto!
Beyond the mountain wall
is a breathtaking scene
the air, so crisp, clean, mild
for coloured flowers to bloom
and bees buzzing in wild!
Beyond the mountain wall
is nature's paradise
with gentle flowing stream
and small pebbles buried
on either banks in green!
Beyond the mountain wall
stands lovely Gothic Church
its tower bell ringing
a soothing soft sound
with people praying, singing!

"The Touch" :::::::::::::::::::: A short Poem.
"A Touch"........... A Poem. Views: 36
Jan 04, 2010 7:19 am "A Touch"........... A Poem. #
Manohar Bhatia Every time,I touch my child
I am reminded of my wife
of her nostalgic memories......
A touch so loving,mesmerising
to melt a solid rock!
How my headaches
used to vanish forever
whenever she pressed my head!
How my tired body
was ready to rejunevate
upon her simple,delicate
embrace!
How she touched me
in the mornings to
awake me from my sleep
by wispering sweet nothings
into my ever alert ears!
How she encirled me
during a session of ball-room
dancing on the New Year's Eve!
How my telephone-talks
were inspiring during my
office breaks,that
I almost felt her touch!
How her cooked dishes
were decorately displayed
on dining table that
upon tasting them
I could feel the hand
who has made those lovelies!
How sitting on a bike
as a pillion rider,
had an electrifying affect
on my driving that even a
30.m.p.h speed seemed
to bike floating in the air!
How sitting in the car
besides me,made me
think that we both are
driving the vehicle!
---The End---

Different Type Of Poetry:::: F.O.R.M....Clerihew
F.O.R.M.- Clerihew Views: 39
Dec 07, 2009 10:12 pm F.O.R.M.- Clerihew #
Jack Huber
Clerihew
A clerihew is a humorous 4-line poem about a celebrity, named in the first line. Often the celebrity’s name comprises the entire first line. Invented by poet Edmund Clerihew Bentley, a clerihew pokes fun at someone famous or puts them in an absurd light, though is not abusive. It is common for a Clerihew to parody short eulogies.
There is no set meter. In fact, the Clerihew usually contains irregular line lengths. The rhyming scheme of “a-a-b-b†can be comically contrived.
In a rhyming pattern, lines ending in a sound designated by “a†only rhyme with other “a†lines, “b†lines only with other “b†lines, and so on.
The title of a Clerihew is always the name of its subject.
Examples:
Charlie Sheen
The great Charlie Sheen
is a fan of caffeine,
especially when his head is tender-
recovering from his latest bender.
Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks
must own some banks.
He’s almost Donald Trump
in the guise of Forrest Gump.

Different Type of Poetry:::: F.O.R.M..Pleiades
F.O.R.M.- Pleiades Views: 40
Jul 28, 2009 9:50 am F.O.R.M.- Pleiades #
Jack Huber Pleiades
Named for the famous star cluster, a Pleiades is a seven-line poem without any set meter or rhyme. The seven brightest stars in the constellation were named for the “Seven Sisters” in Greek mythology, thus the seven lines. This form was invented about a decade ago by Craig Tigerman, an editor for Sol Magazine, an online poetry periodical.
A Pleiades has a one-word title and each of its seven lines begins with the same letter as the first letter in the title.
Example:
Weathermost
When the brilliant burst lights the sky,
We count off the seconds aloud,
Willing the delay longer before thunder
Wields its booming voice, interrupting our
Watch for the storm's next strike. Having
Withdrawn, our attention now returns to the
Window into Nature's electric choreography.

Manohar Bhatia
Short Poem::::::::: "On Smallest"
The smallest distance
between two points
is a line;but the
smallest distance between
two persons is only
a line of communication!
The smallest planet in the
universe is not a star
as seen by a naked eye,
but a STAR that cannot be
seen in an ugly planet!
The smallest appreciation
is not the one saying
'thank you'but a smallest
gesture that shows appreciation
without saying anything!
The smallest mistake is
not the one that hurts the
self,but the one that
hurt the other selves!
The smallest truth is not
the one which is real,
but the one that is
a lie fabricated by truth!
The smallest error between
cup and lip is a slip,
And the smallest mistake
between patience and restraint
is slip of the tongue!
The smallest compact disc
is not the one
measured in size,
but is the one
with unlimited storage!
The smallest talk
is not the one spoken
by mouth,but the one
known by telepathy!
The smallest walk
is not of one step,
but a walk-over
in your absence!
The smallest tide
is not measured in height,
but is calculated
in the affairs of men!
The smallest confusion
is not with word 'confusion'
in an English language
but 'confusion' being used
as a metaphor!
The smallest love
is not a kiss planted
on the lips,but a
love camouflaged by lust!

"Whence Gonneth Those Days?"............A Poem
When we were young,energetic,full of life,
On Sunday mornings,we were at Colaba,
At our granny's house,with uncles,aunts,nieces,
Stretching ourselves at the secluded beaches,
Swimming in the backbay waters,
Eating mangoes,basking in the sun,
Playing with shells,pebbles,gun,
Sometimes burying ourselves in the sand,
Remaining there for a long time,
With only our heads popping out for fun!
Noontime,there were afternoon siestas,
Dead tired after watching on telly some fiestas,
Now, when clock strikes 5.00 p.m.
We have hot cups of tea,
With spicy cutlets,crispy nuggets,
To pamper our villianous pallets.
By evenings,we get ready
To trot to Eros Theatre steady,
Screening Marx Bros,Laurel&Hardy,
Or slapstick comedy of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis,
A laugh riot of our lives,
Till tear fall off our eyes!
At nightfalls,we had wooden cots,
Laid out under pipal trees,flower pots,
With the cool evening breeze blowing,
Hearing fairy tales from Granny at bedtime,
And falling asleep like a log!
Oh! Those were the days,
Waking up one fine morning,
From a soft bed into luminious sunlight,
Feeling warm,well fed,well loved,
well cared for a longing
peace,silence,stillness, bliss!
Will those days ever commeth?
____ The End_____
