“A Simple Thesis Poem”
Why did the chicken cross the road?
The age old question
To make a better life for zirself?
Did zir walk or perhaps run away from the flames that were on the other side?
We never talk about what zir found on the other side, thoroughly
Did this chicken find a message in a bottle telling them it will all be okay?
Or a worn down album from Sting and The Police?
Zir may stop to pick up the classic vinyl if zir found it laying on the busted sidewalk to listen to the poetry in their lyrics
The chicken makes it across the road
To pick up the record
To realize there is no record player to properly enjoy their poetry
Finding an old Gatorade bottle
The flavor Fierce Grape
Maybe purchased at Trader Joes
The Mecca of grocery stores
Thoughts of childhood soccer games
Slightly dramatic
And traumatic running through their brain waves
Zirs thirst no longer quenched
Remembering to be kind to the earth that continues to hold zirself up day and night
Throwing it away in the waste basket adjacent to where they found that fiercely delicious poetry created by the Police
That does not sting
Zir notices a couple holding hands
Within one block their hand lock changes several times
Are they trying to find comfort in how they show affection?
Can they not comfortably hold hands because their love has become less delicious?
Did their love get too close to the sun like Icarus’s wings?
Will their love melt back into each other or into other’s hearts?
We will never know the answers to all these questions
We will never know why the chicken truly crossed the road
What we do know is this
Zir chicken struts across the road to pen poetry for zirself
Zir chooses to share their poetry with everyone else
In time
On zir terms
Not to impress
Or be cohesive
Simply to get through another day
Deciphering messages found in other’s poetry and empty Gatorade bottles…(Panku)

Don't you know how precious it is ? when you take your time, go through someone's blog carefully, actually 'read' their works and care about liking them , even commenting. You won't even know ,how much it means to the person.
The person might be tired, might be thinking of giving up , giving in , you might be going through something similar, but that one gesture can do them more good than you can imagine and can light you up too!
Tell me I am wrong!
The world is full of darkness ,but here, your one gesture can bring light. Be that light.
Don't forget to appreciate good things as the world has a little of them left.
Spread love, be happy , keep smiling !!

On a dark cold night
Awoken my soul under the moon light
Like a wolf in sheep clothes
While the whole world stayed closed
My soul opened to the universe
On that hill rise
I was exposed
To the elements of life
And lord behold
As the devils hide
And nature took hold
A beast , I felt , deep inside .
