EEYORE

Exceptional cartoon character
Ever gloomy donkey
Yearning for help
On Robin friend
Remains always depressed
Even when helped


P.S. I feel helpless writing about this Acro as I don't watch cartoons that much. I googled it anyway and hope it helped me.

OUT LIKE A LIGHT

Over sumptuous meal
Under tree’s canopy
Then some beer


Like hungry skunk
Indecently got drunk
Kept them groggy
Expeditiously felt hazy


All got dizzy


Longing for sleep
In few minutes
Gradually felt dazed
Heading to dream
This crazy day

GRANDPARENTS

Give them kindness
Reach be affectionate
All they want
Need and count
Devotion from us
Prayer that lasts
Always give attention
Respect not condemnation
Expect God's blessings
Numerous and rewarding
To compassion given
Sacrifices well rendered

VOICES

Vanity I felt
Overwrought and unquenched
Indolent and unhappy
Chastening feelings mildly
Exploring my thoughts
Such foolishness fought

COMPASSION

Can you extend
Or lend hand
Many are dying
Poor children crying
Asking for alms
Seeking without qualms
Such painful reality
In every country
Opulent must care
Now should share

GLACIER

Gigantic icebergs melt
Leaving planet earth
A catastrophic place
Causing immeasurable damage
In God’s creations
Every concerned nation
Rise be vigilant

The Voices










Visually she was not mistaken. She saw it with her big brown eyes. Her eyes cannot lie. There were Gabrielle and Lucifer beside her. Lucifer looked so deceiving in his smiles while Gabrielle smiled innocently at her.


Obediently she listened to both of them. "Miriam, you're beautiful, attractive, intelligent and of course look tantalizing in my eyes", Lucifer whispered. "But for quite sometime now you're sad. You looked like you've lost some precious toys and fumbling on every nook and cranny in your room, but can't find them. Why don't you go out and have some fun? Snatch the first guy you would meet as you step out on the pavement. Go disco dancing and drinking until the wee hours," he said, and added with a grin, "Then do some naughty things with your guy".


In Gabrielle's wish to comfort Miriam and to negate those devilish insinuations of Lucifer, she whispered into her ears "Oh, don't listen to that moron dear, he'll only ruin your life. Remember, life is not a bed of roses. At some points in your life, you become weak, fragile, vulnerable to your feelings. It's just that we need to be strong to overcome these feelings because I know that God will not give us trials that we cannot hurdle or surpass victoriously. When God closes a door, He opens a window, right?


Confused and bewildered, Miriam doesn't know to whom she'll listen. Lucifer's prodding was so tempting and Gabrielle's counsel was so good. She felt  safer continuing to brood on her disappointments. 


Entangled with such thoughts, she suddenly heard Lucifer hurling invectives against Gabrielle. "Who the hell are you? I just wanna make Miriam happy and you could only say and utter Godly words to her. Your pieces of advice will never make her happy. Veer off from her, now!!!!" Lucifer shouted at Gabrielle.


Silently Gabrielle cried but hid it from Miriam.  She was not there for her own comfort but to encourage and uplift Miriam's spirits.  As Gabrielle turned back to Miriam she realized Miriam poised a two-bladed knife above her chest.  "Miriaaaaaaaaaaaam!  Nooooooooooo!" screamed Gabrielle.  Miriam was panting, gasping for air.  Her lungs frozen.  Her stomach churned with terror.  Desperation soaked her clothes in sweat. She groped for the knife.  "Where is the knife,” she whispered.  She stole another tight breathe. “Where is that knife?”  Knock, knock, came sounds from her door.  "Mom, you're late now, aren't you going to office?” her lil' lovely Princess asked.  "Oh no . . . yeah, I will, thanks Sweetheart," she sighed.

SUMMER RAIN

Soothing warm weather
Utterly refreshing; pleasant
Many rainy days
Mindful farmers pray
Earnestly giving thanks
Relief for crops


Rain showers evoke
An unexpressed glee
Impulsively I dance
Natives going wild

GROWING OLD

Gloomy life's stage
Reaching old age
Oh the inevitable
Wishing it's beatable
Incessant are pains
Numbness of veins
Giddy goes brain


Outlive I wish
Longing more bliss
Dying is nightmarish

FACES

Facing a large noisy crowd
And started to sing loud
Catching his breath in high tones
Err he missed the right notes
So his audience booed aloud

TURN A BLIND EYE

The crime committed
Unusually detestable and
Remorseless and was
Noxiously been done


Although so tragic


Bothersome and truly
Loathsome to victims
Instead authorities did
Never try any
Decisive efforts to


Execute the full
Yet reasonably fair
Execution of laws

NEW YEAR

New hopes
Excellent beginnings
Worthy expectations

Yearning to
End all
Angst and
Rife trepidations

REALITY

Resiliently face
Each challenges
Amidst chaos

To make
You better
