Hide and Seek - Part 4 - Rhyming & Non Rhyming Poems by Nikhil Parekh - HTML preview

49. ACTIONS

I chopped the mighty cheddar tree into slices of trimmed lumber,

then accomplished the action of aligning dry wood for fire.

i evacuated slippery fish from the lake with coherent dexterity,

then plunged myself into the action of roasting them for night supper.

i traveled at nerve breaking speeds in the lead tipped capsule of spaceship,

engaged myself voraciously in the task of snapping photographs of the moon.

i brutally tore through the skin of the succulent watermelon,

urged myself into the action of devouring blood red chunks of the fruit.

i waded past undulating waters of the sea; landing up marooned on an island,

intensely involved myself in the action of plucking wild banana to survive.

i subtly filled hollow interiors of my pen with fountain ink,

passionately prompting my fingers to perform the action of ornate calligraphy.

i inadvertently slipped from precarious height of the stairs,

wasted no time getting into the action of consuming a pellet of pain killer.

i mounted euphorically on a thoroughbred stallion,

then ardently executed the action of galloping past the mountains.

i chewed a cluster of sapphire green betel leaf,

performed the rustic action of spitting cup fulls of saliva on the street.

i memorized mystical tunes all throughout the cloud covers of murky day,

prolifically drowned myself in the action of composing romantic songs.

i slogged in the blistering heat of the fierce midday Sun,

then succumbing myself to the involuntary action of blissful sleep.
