J.Jayalalithaa Benign like a flower, Powerful like a hundred-limbed river, This thousand-faced bower.   Lovely actress-dancer, A charming leader, Of oceans of betrayals and sufferings, A pain drinker.   They say, She could have done better, To blame than to do, Always easier.    Her life like the vicissitudes of life-river, Sometimes kind, sometimes cruel, Contained many lessons for ordinary mortals, As she rose to Goddess’s portals.

  हे शिव! हे शिव, आपका स्मरण करके आज मैने, एक कविता, प्रयत्न किया है। मेरी गुस्ताखी को क्षमा करना, यह मेरी पहली हिन्दी कविता है। आप हो निर्भय, मै ठहरी एक इन्सान गृध्र, आप आसमान की ऊंचाई पर हो, मै बैठी  माला को हाथ में, आज महाशिवरात्रि है। आपके सिर में माँ गंगा है, हाथ में त्रिशूल है, मै तो मुखर हूँ, आप तो बात किए बिना, बात कर लेते हो। आज एक कविता प्रयत्न, किया है, आपके स्मरण में, मेरी गुस्ताखी को क्षमा करना, आज महाशिवरात्रि है। ‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍~डाँ॰एस्॰पद्मप्रीया

  Love Forever I breathe the same air that you do, I see the same stars that you do, I touch the same trees that you do, I share my home, the earth with you. I know our lips won’t kiss, Our hands won’t conjoin, Two will never be one, I know they never will. Yet, when we leave the earth, Your dust and mine will leave it together, They will intermingle like milk and honey, And remain so forever! S . Padmapriya 

  Sarojini Naidu – The Poetess & Politician by Dr.S. Padmapriya, Poetess & Educator, Chennai, India dr-s-padmapriya.com www.writerpadmapriya.blogspot.com   The general definition of poetry is that it is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language. According to the famous American poet, Robert Frost, ‘Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.’   In my opinion, ‘Poetry is the blossoming of aesthetically woven literary expressions crafted with rhythm in moments of spontaneously heightened consciousness.’ Poetry is an art form just like dance or music or sculpting or drama or cinema or painting.  A writer uses the canvas of words to communicate his ideas.

 *The Death of a Dream*  My dream died recently, Disappeared like dwindling dreary dew drops, Burning away at the break, Of a daunting dawn, Bludgeoned away by the bilious Sun, The dream had awakened short-lived hopes, The dream felt real, Though just a dream surreal, Its timely demise caused no misery, Short lived happiness was what was meant to be, Its realisation would have meant only devastation, And endless tribulations, Am much glad that my dream died early, Without taking me to the cemetery, The Truth be said, That my unwanted dream is dead, Actually, makes me happy!!  *S.Padmapriya*
