Weekly Intent - Ramya Sriram
Intent - October 19, 2008
Paper Boats
thoughts float,
bob up and down
like paper sailboats
in crooked,
rainfed rivulets
during monsoon
that diverge,
broaden,and
gurgle nothings
and sometimes
disappear into
potholes and drains
black marker erased
by the water,leaving
shades of soaked white
thoughts float,
bob up and down
like paper sailboats
and I dont know
which ones are yours
and which ones mine.

VIT...those are the days!
If you like the world of books, you will enjoy travel too...
MBA in India is not something I would prefer...unless it's an IIM, forget 99 percentile in CAT write GMAT (with possibly a year or two job experience), or GRE...bio has a great future in the US. America is not all full of tall buildings -- ask Sarah Palin, small towns and rural areas are the Real America! -- it is also a place to be if you love nature...lots of diversity to explore.
cheers

Ramya, nice words!
I enjoy floating on your blog...
I don't know if you'd posted this poem before, Ramya, but it seems as if I've read it before. It's lovely. So are the others on your blog. I like WaterColour best, right now.

Ramya,
Nice pitter patter
On heart mind
Simply said
Round and profound
We row our boat
Shore to shore
Keeping time in
Syncopated rhyme

Ramya, are you there?
Is it you, pointing ripples at us?
Something is sit on dark-switch
Please turn it off. Can you?
Sorry, if I miss of clarity
I am no-direction blind-sick
Is this hole-field, the white-beam of yours?
Is it you behind the quasar-acting?

I am the sunshine that gives direction to the boat.
I am the boat that floats within the river of grace.
I am the river that guides the boat to its destiny.
I am all of this.
I am.

Once
Upon your Time
Before kings
I rained
Floods of tears
Down drains
And children
Were not ashamed

Ramya,
That's well worth a monsoon.
