Diane Tegarden A new member (RDJ) gave me a great idea...
in order to be listed as a friend here on Ryze we need each other's email addy, so here's mine, feel free to add me as a friend!
rosefirewalker@aol.com
Please list your email on this thread so the other members can also add you as a friend. It's an easy way to remember their birthday, because Ryze will alert you when their birthday is coming up and you can pop in and wish them well!
huggles and buggles,
Diane

Diane, if I may suggest: could we also use this thread to `re-invent' or `re-visit' ourselves by sharing a short introduction - something different to what's already on our ryze page? (Or perhaps start a new thread for this - titled maybe "a visit to myself" or something like that?)
cheers, have a great weekend all, and happy to be here!

Dearest Lady M,
I'm just busting at the seams I'm so proud of your fantastic accomplishments, despite your personal injury (both to heart and back).
You are such a talented and truly magnificent woman, I'm so lucky to be considered among your friends. (Wish we lived closer so we could rage around the town together a bit!) What o what would they do with the two of us loose?
;>
Congratulations on your graduation and your grades, now you can come back to the fold....heh heh heh...oh my devious mind is aswirl...
Let me know when you plan to launch your new radio show and we can have a ball, busting myths about writing, and woes.
BTW, I may need some help setting up MY new BTR show, so when you get a minute next week, let's talk.
Yours in friendship and folly,
Diane T. and furfamily

Monday Poem:::::::::: "Its My Choice........." Views: 41
Mar 15, 2010 9:32 am Monday Poem:::::::::: "Its My Choice........." #
Manohar Bhatia Hi,
This is again a small poem,that struck to my mind on the one word:::; 'choice'
Here it goes::::
"Its My Choice......"
I like it bad,I like it good,
its my choice to think of food!
I like it high,I like it low
its my choice for the show!
I like it black,I like it white
its my choice to adjust my sight!
I like it left,I like it right
its my choice about my kite!
I like it forward,I like it backward
its me choice about my ward!
I like it fast,I like it slow
its my choice how I flow!
I like the silence,I like the noise
its my choice about the voice!
I like the bumpy,I like the dumpy
its my choice,if I become grumpy!
I like being lost,I like being found
its my choice of being dumbfound!
I like the drumstick,I like the drummer
its my choice if I play with a murmur!
Well Folks! I like it because I like it!

Jack Huber It's nice to play with words and phrases, isn't it? This one is cute, but you might experiment with adding a middle line to each of the couplets to add a little oomph to each thought. Since your couplet already rhymes, the added line would not have to.
In any case, I like it.

Thanks for the hint;here is my revised poem::::::
"Its My Choice...."
I like it bad,I like it good
watch your protruding tummy
its my choice to think of food!
I like it high,I like it low
are you afraid of height?
its my choice for the show!
I like it black,I like it white
its day now,its night later
its my choice to adjust my sight!
I like it left,I like it right
to keep my talent right
its my choice about my kite!
I like it forward,I like it backward
to drive my vehicle in
its my choice about my ward!
I like it fast,I like it slow
to let my feet dance in abundance
its my choice how I flow!
I like the silence,I like the noise
to play my musical instrument
its my choice of the voice!
I like the bumpy,I like the dumpy
of the ride on my bike
its my choice,if I become grumpy!
I like being lost,I like being found
in the fair around the market-place
its my choice of being dumbfound!
I like the drumstick,I like the drummer
who always plays hard & loud music
its my choice,if I play with a murmur!
Well Folks!I like it,because I like it!

Monday Poem:::::::::::::::: "I Went to...................................." Views: 34
Mar 08, 2010 12:37 am Monday Poem:::::::::::::::: "I Went to...................................." #
Manohar Bhatia Hi,
As I have mentioned before,the poems I write are inspired from observations,travels,reading newspapers,autobiographies,TV etc....The current is inspired from reading an autobiography of a living legend,who likes to travel a lot in his life.It occured to me that what If I can also travel to various places and come up with something amusing to relate......well,this is all fiction.
Monday Poem::::::: "I Went to..........."
I went to the kitchen to cook my meal
But came back with a broken tin seal
Of what use is this broken tin seal
when I cannot make a deal!
I went to college to do my study
but came back only with lost buddy
of what use is this lost buddy
when I cannot make him study!
I went to cricket field fearing for blob
but came back scoring a century
of what use is this century
when my team lost match of century!
I went to a jungle to shoot a chimera
but came back only with broken camera
Now,of what use is this broken camera
when I didn't click photo of chimera!
I went to climb the Great Wall Of China
but came back with diagnosied hernia
what use is this hernia to me
when my hospitalized expenses are everone to see!
I went to holiday for a complete rest
but came for a real test
now,what can I test when piles of files
are staring me on my desk!
I went for a stroll to Picadally Circus
but landed in nearby real circus
I saw tigers,elephant,clowns,
mimicking many with thier funny frowns!
I went for a ride in a roller-coaster
but came back with my body a roster
I tried all medicines to cure this roaster
but fell flat in the doctor's toaster!
I went to a friend's house for a chat
but came back wearing only my hat
now,what should I do with this hat
except to fling it on the mat!
I went to a party to have a gala time
but came back only with a broken dime
what to do with this broken dime
except to display as collector's shine!
I went to library to read some books
but came back only with its hooks
what use are these hooks to me
but to hang the shirts of thee!
I went to the beach for a good swim
only to come out with a face grim
Oh!,why the grimming face?
only to look in mirror for body charcoal case!

Now,of what use is this broken camera

I enjoyed the witty play on words of chimera and camera,

Diane Stephenson Manohar:
Your sense of humor comes through loud and clear. And it shows that often what we consider in the beginning to be really important ends up being next to useless in our lives. Perhaps we all chase this 'chimera' at some point in our lives but will never catch it on our broken cameras. Things seldom turn out the way we expect in life but that doesn't necessarily mean that's bad. Sometimes we get something even better - we throw away the broken camera and buy a better one!

Mar 08, 2010 12:37 am Monday Poem:::::::::::::::: "I Went to...................................." #
Manohar Bhatia Hi,
As I have mentioned before,the poems I write are inspired from observations,travels,reading newspapers,autobiographies,TV etc....The current is inspired from reading an autobiography of a living legend,who likes to travel a lot in his life.It occured to me that what If I can also travel to various places and come up with something amusing to relate......well,this is all fiction.
Monday Poem::::::: "I Went to..........."
I went to the kitchen to cook my meal
But came back with a broken tin seal
Of what use is this broken tin seal
when I cannot make a deal!
I went to college to do my study
but came back only with lost buddy
of what use is this lost buddy
when I cannot make him study!
I went to cricket field fearing for blob
but came back scoring a century
of what use is this century
when my team lost match of century!
I went to a jungle to shoot a chimera
but came back only with broken camera
Now,of what use is this broken camera
when I didn't click photo of chimera!
I went to climb the Great Wall Of China
but came back with diagnosied hernia
what use is this hernia to me
when my hospitalized expenses are everone to see!
I went to holiday for a complete rest
but came for a real test
now,what can I test when piles of files
are staring me on my desk!
I went for a stroll to Picadally Circus
but landed in nearby real circus
I saw tigers,elephant,clowns,
mimicking many with thier funny frowns!
I went for a ride in a roller-coaster
but came back with my body a roster
I tried all medicines to cure this roaster
but fell flat in the doctor's toaster!
I went to a friend's house for a chat
but came back wearing only my hat
now,what should I do with this hat
except to fling it on the mat!
I went to a party to have a gala time
but came back only with a broken dime
what to do with this broken dime
except to display as collector's shine!
I went to library to read some books
but came back only with its hooks
what use are these hooks to me
but to hang the shirts of thee!
I went to the beach for a good swim
only to come out with a face grim
Oh!,why the grimming face?
only to look in mirror for body charcoal case!
--The End--

Diane Tegarden Manohar,
I especially liked this stanza...
"I went to a jungle to shoot a chimera
but came back only with broken camera
Now,of what use is this broken camera
when I didn't click photo of chimera!"
I enjoyed the witty play on words of chimera and camera,

Diane Stephenson Manohar:
Your sense of humor comes through loud and clear. And it shows that often what we consider in the beginning to be really important ends up being next to useless in our lives. Perhaps we all chase this 'chimera' at some point in our lives but will never catch it on our broken cameras. Things seldom turn out the way we expect in life but that doesn't necessarily mean that's bad. Sometimes we get something even better - we throw away the broken camera and buy a better one!

F.O.R.M. Poetry::::::::::::::::::::::: "Blitz".
O.R.M.- Blitz Views: 99
Feb 01, 2010 9:22 pm F.O.R.M.- Blitz #
Jack Huber Blitz
The “Blitz” poem is well-named, as fifty short lines are read in rapid-fire fashion. This form was invented by poet Robert Keim in 2008.
The format is unique- twenty-four couplets, each line beginning with the last word of the previous couplet, ending with two single word lines, the last word of lines 48 and 47, respectively. The lines are short and fast, but consist of at least two words (other than the last two lines), and most are common or recognizable phrases. The blitz lends itself well to being read aloud.
There is no meter or rhyme used in a blitz. Though fast-paced, the concept that the poet wants to convey will be revealed slowly throughout the piece, as less meaningful phrases give way to those more relevant when taken in total. Continuous repetition through the poem keeps the reader (or listener) interested and allows for a quick cadence. The end is a poignant comment on the concept.
At first glance, it appears to be an easy form to use, but upon first trial, you’ll find it challenging. The first line is a short phrase, perhaps a cliché, and the second line repeats the first word of the first one. The last word of line two is the first word of lines three and four, the last word of line four is the first word of lines five and six, and so on until the last two lines. Line 49 is simply the last word of line 48, and line 50 is the last word of line 47.
The title should be exactly three words, joining the first word of line 3 with the word in line 47 with a conjunction or preposition, but I preferred to repeat one of the lines as the title in my example.

Ayub,
this is an excellent political statement, easily understandable although I've never seen the lake you describe. I can easily see the mess that's been created of a once pristine water source.
You're an environmentalist at heart, aren't you?
I applaud your poem because it seems to flow naturally, stays on topic and is an important message at the same time,

Ayub Bangroo Manohar,many thanks for your compliments.
Anchar lake is just three kms from my residence,a picturesque area,where nature is in abundance .Over the years it has got denigrated to a kind of cesspool fighting for the life.One can not but feel frustrated on seeing its conition.
Maya,Anchar is just one case.This is the problem with all the lakes and water bodies here.World famous Dal lake was 24 skms just 40 years back and today it is only 16 skms.And even these 16 kms are in bad shape.Not only the catchment area has come down a big way but also qualitatively these lakes degraded a long way.Just two years back the CM of j&k Mr G.N.Azad publicly confessed that he could not do anything to save the Dal lake.There once were times when the kings of Kashmir would start from Dal lake in their house boats move towards the Anchar lake which is five kms from Dal and connected by wide streams,from here they would go to another lake called Mansbal,20 kms from here and again connected,and their final destination used to be Wullar lake,Asia`s biggest fresh water lake,20 kmms from Mansbal lake and also connected by free flowing canals.Those canals and streams are now either water less or non existent and these lakes fast going the same way.It is not that money is not spent on their preservation but the results are poor for the obvious reason.We can hope a miracle to happen to restore their pristine glory,and of course miracles do happen,though rarely.
Diane,thanks for appreciating the poem.Yes,i am an environmentalist at heart and an accidental banker.Not less than 70% of what i have written so far pertains to nature and environmentI am somewhat natural on writing about nature.
Well,Maya,Manohar and Diane,your compliments please me but Anchar makes me sad.
Many thanks to Jack for introducing this form to us and giving us a chance to try.

Ayub,
this is an excellent political statement, easily understandable although I've never seen the lake you describe. I can easily see the mess that's been created of a once pristine water source.
You're an environmentalist at heart, aren't you?
I applaud your poem because it seems to flow naturally, stays on topic and is an important message at the same time,
Diane T.

Ayub Bangroo Manohar,many thanks for your compliments.
Anchar lake is just three kms from my residence,a picturesque area,where nature is in abundance .Over the years it has got denigrated to a kind of cesspool fighting for the life.One can not but feel frustrated on seeing its conition.
Maya,Anchar is just one case.This is the problem with all the lakes and water bodies here.World famous Dal lake was 24 skms just 40 years back and today it is only 16 skms.And even these 16 kms are in bad shape.Not only the catchment area has come down a big way but also qualitatively these lakes degraded a long way.Just two years back the CM of j&k Mr G.N.Azad publicly confessed that he could not do anything to save the Dal lake.There once were times when the kings of Kashmir would start from Dal lake in their house boats move towards the Anchar lake which is five kms from Dal and connected by wide streams,from here they would go to another lake called Mansbal,20 kms from here and again connected,and their final destination used to be Wullar lake,Asia`s biggest fresh water lake,20 kmms from Mansbal lake and also connected by free flowing canals.Those canals and streams are now either water less or non existent and these lakes fast going the same way.It is not that money is not spent on their preservation but the results are poor for the obvious reason.We can hope a miracle to happen to restore their pristine glory,and of course miracles do happen,though rarely.
Diane,thanks for appreciating the poem.Yes,i am an environmentalist at heart and an accidental banker.Not less than 70% of what i have written so far pertains to nature and environmentI am somewhat natural on writing about nature.
Well,Maya,Manohar and Diane,your compliments please me but Anchar makes me sad.
Many thanks to Jack for introducing this form to us and giving us a chance to try.
Regards
Ayub

I saw this man on a horse-back
wearing a fedora and heavily
clothed in leather with a thick
belt and his two guns ready for
action...guess the name(Cowboy hat)
I saw this mexican man singing
in the streets and playing a guitar
with a vagabond look about him and torn
shirt,a stubble on his face,tight jeans
and wearing a fedora...guess the name
(Panama hat)
I saw this man in an English movie
"Harry Black & The Tiger" wearing a
safari suit,with a rifle in his hand
searchingly roaming the jungle for a
tiger.He too was wearing a fedora...guess
the name(Oval school-master's hat)
I saw this man near the minara masjid
with millions of others,wearing a kurta
pyjama,a steel kada on his hand,a gold chain
round his neck,kneeling and offering his
Friday namaz and wearing a fedora...guess
the name(skullcap)
I saw this man offering a purple
fedora to one of the bright crickters
for scoring the fastest century....guess
the name(sports cap)
I saw this clown in a circus,
face fully painted in various colours
jumping,mimicking,making the crowd
laugh with his head covered with
a fedora...guess the name(clown cap)
I saw this half-naked man with
a million followers and a stick in
his right hand,walking with a determined
look for abolition of tax on salt and
wearing the greatest fedora of all
time....guess the name(Gandhi Cap!)

Maya Mahant Hiya Manohar,
Very interesting, loved the idea of translating the different types of headgear into a poem with descriptions.
Just for information and interest,
Fedora is a felt hat that is creased lengthwise down the crown and pinched in the front on both sides. The brim goes all the way around, and often there will be a hat band as well.
Also called
Cowboy Hat : Stetson
Panama : Sombrero
School Master's : Bowler or maybe a Tribly
Skull cap Muslims : Taqiyah
Sports cap : Baseball cap
Clown cap : Dunce cap

I think the clown cap would be called a jester's hat, the multi-colored one with bells on the ends.
(A dunce cap is the big tall hat shaped like a cone that people have to put on when they say something dumb.)

Manohar,
I love the way hats can express the culture of different people, as you have shown in this very clever poem.
The only thing I would change is to replace the word "fedora" with the more generic "hat", because as Maya pointed out, the fedora is a certain type of hat that doesn't fit the individual descriptions in your stanzas.
It wouldn't take anything away from the poem and it would be less confusing to the readers who actually know what "fedora" means!
A fun start to our WPWU week,
Diane T. and the whole hairy clan
PS. You could re-title the poem "The Hat Trick", subtitled "Can you guess the name of the hat?"

Oh!my poor little head!
Strike two heads,not for war,
but for cordial meeting
to discuss,argue,contemplate
for a better to-marrow.
Oh!my poor little head!
Make your head a friend,
loving,nourishing,messaging,resting,
every Sunday,during the week,
Then watch its performance.
Oh!my poor litle head!
Lose your hat,but

Human head is the best.

I am lying on a bench
under a shade of trees
with the gentle wind
blowing lazily around my knees
Is this my Garden of Heaven?
I see birds,one,two,three
hearing their chirpings for free
crows hastily are making nests
to lay their eggs for their pets
Is this my garden of heaven?
Honey-bees buzzing
around colourful flowers
to pick up pollen grains
and fertilize in their stems
Is this my Garden of Heaven?
Vultures are seen in sky
and flying very high
to catch through sharp eye
anything gives out a sigh!
Is this my Garden of Heaven?
Now, all is quiet
a deafning silence,
real,peaceful,exciting,vibrant,
Where is the Garden of Heaven?
Oh,Man,it always resides within YOU!

Maya Mahant Manohar,
Your 'Garden Of Heaven' has beautiful and the ugly. Your poem reflects duality, the honey bees pollinating to create new flowers...life and vultures the flesh eating scavengers being the metaphor for death. Good and the bad coexist, in your mind. But then that is the fact of life.

Is this my Garden of Heaven?
Vultures are seen in sky
and flying very high
to catch through sharp eye
anything gives out a sigh!
Is this my Garden of Heaven?
Now, all is quiet
a deafning silence,
real,peaceful,exciting,vibrant,
Where is the Garden of Heaven?
Oh,Man,it always resides within YOU!
--The End--

Maya Mahant Manohar,
Your 'Garden Of Heaven' has beautiful and the ugly. Your poem reflects duality, the honey bees pollinating to create new flowers...life and vultures the flesh eating scavengers being the metaphor for death. Good and the bad coexist, in your mind. But then that is the fact of life.

Wonderful poem Manohar,
You have created some beautiful imagery from the real life and the ending this heaven lies within you is so apt.The style you have adopted for this poem has a class of its own.

Manohar,
I love your poems about nature and its wonders, and I appreciate your conclusion is that "the garden is always within YOU!"
Well spoken,

Jack Huber Ditto, Diane. Nature is a favorite theme for many people, I think even more than love. Love poetry just gets the press...
A nice read, Manohar, as always.
