Women Achievers

Day. 2(Napowrimo )

Women Achievers

March month, the world applauded

women achievers globally .

Women who are dedicated to work, 

exude grace , will and brilliance

in their respective fields ; 

Bagging laurels, 

their word becomes a law, 

and people adore them , as

' Powerful Women . '

As a lay person

I am forced to question

my own stand in my own eyes

and that of many others like me ; 

Have we been any close to

being Women Achievers ! 

Reflecting back I see

the panaromic view

of the life spent. . . . 

struggling 

with circumstances, 

domestic stress

emotional oppression ; 

Trying to create balance

at home and workplace; 

Rearing children, 

nurturing , caring, 

inculcating values, culture ; 

grooming them

into better humans ; 

In short being good homemakers . . . 

which is considered

a thankless job anyways . 

A wife , mother , sister; 

A woman adorning various roles

Constantly , 

Endlessly,

ungrudgingly expecting

to see that winning smile

of all family members , 

forgetting her own identity. 

Coming to the present , witnessing

grown up children , wellsettled

feel , life coming full circle

accomplished and in gratitude . 

Now when the sun is on the other

side of the graph

I quizzically remain , wondering

Hoping and wishing to be

Women Achievers !

Sublime hues

Sublime hues

For the national poetry writing month . . . here is my first effort . 

Day - 1

Sublime Hues

Today I experienced

a new leash of life; 

The moment filled , 

with feelings of rapture, 

in all its sublime hues. 

The exuberance , 

enthusiasm 

volatile emotions 

bleeding hearts

the feminine cry 

such synergy

of all co participants ; 

I witnessed all

like a magical dream . 

Why ! I was the part

Of the Poetic Slam too . 

Overwhelmed 

and ecstatic

I bowed my head ; 

With moistened eyes

and prayer on my lips

to thank The Lord , for

This moment to live

to the fullest

In all its

sublime

hues
