GRAINS OF SAND
Grains of sand under the feet
A feeling so neat
Soft and warm
Feels like a balm
Takes only an imagination
To shape inspiration
And build a sand-castle
With sea shells for tassel
An enchanted world
Nature’s melody can be heard
Although not a dream
As wonderful it may seem
After all it is sand
Grains of sand
Yes, neat and warm
Soothing like a balm
Sure, castle can be build
Can never be part of permanent guild
The nature’s bounty is such
Makes one realize, not lost much
Made memories out of the sand
Flashback control is in one’s hand
Wonder about the gain
Well! Sand with a feel that of grain
Helped create a beautiful lane
Nostalgia! Going down the memory lane

TAKE A PEEK
Hmm! Let me take a peek
At the attempt to seek
The knowledge that postulates
Theory that indicates
The origin of man
Not so different from our clan
Well! As cited in the article
We both are made of the same particle
Known are we, as their ancestors
Agreed but there is one thing that bothers
It says here, that man has evolved
Grow! Change! Progress! Developed
Precisely that is what it means to be evolved
Have wondered often, has he actually evolved
Watching from here, gathering mixed feelings
Perhaps! He has or he has not, no hard feelings
If I may say so, it is like watching kids grow
Some learning fast and some learn slow
Some behaving well and some like brats
Offended I feel when the behavior of brats
Compared to that of the likes of monkey or ape
If it is actually our behavior they ape
Perhaps our behaviors we should evaluate
For they are our children, our behaviors they imitate!!!

That was nice Down to earth. The first poem - the repeated mentions of grains of sand - had a lyrical touch to them :) The picture is very beautiful. ALmost refreshing.
The second one - its witty - and the irony of evolution comes across strongly :)
Liked them both! :) Good luck for the contest :)

Dear DTE,
I loved the poetic rhythem and the thoughts expressed in the poem. there is avery deep meaning in your theme.It is a reflection of man's self destructive nature and the frequent quarrels for non-issues. Exceleent. I liked the lines:-
Perhaps our behaviors we should evaluate
For they are our children, our behaviors they imitate!!!
Regards. Rajee
