Poetry

1. SIMPLY USELESS
A lock is simply useless without its key; the slender chip of squashed metal that
unwinds it open,
An ocean is simply useless without its waves; the undulating swirl of frothy waters
that rise and cascade down,
An eyeball is simply useless without its lids; the flexible folds of dainty skin that
envelops them with glistening moisture,
A tree is simply useless without its basket of green leaves; the mushrooming buds of
olive color that appear on it in infinite clusters,
A dog is simply useless without its bark; the crisp sounds that profoundly announce
its presence when it opens its mouth,
A doll is simply useless without its silken hair; the artificial fronds of fluffy golden
that extrude from its petite scalp,
A wall is simply useless without its conglomerate of compact bricks; a blend
of chipped stone and lime that is inevitable to make it domineeringly stand,
A bird is simply useless without its wings; the feathers that make it soar high and
handsome in the sky,
An ensemble of ominous clouds is simply useless without rain; the droplets of
liquid that plummet vociferously towards the earth,
A mammoth whale is simply useless without its colossal teeth; the diabolical
pair of jaws which pulverizes its prey to inconspicuous shreds of bone,
A pentagon shaped diamond is simply useless without its shine; the scintillating
glimmer that grants it the stupendous status of being the king of jewels,
A sacrosanct and rollicking cow is simply useless without its milk; the frosty pearls of
life that trickle from its teats,
A slithering reptile is simply useless without its venom; the lethal poison that imparts
it deadly tenacity to strangulate breath,
A century old giant watch is simply useless without its long needles; the lanky strips
of iron which incessantly display accurate time,

2. A spider is simply useless without its silken web; the mystical strands of shimmering
silver; on which it remains suspended till the time it lives,
A chunk of plain bread is simply useless without dazzling butter; the tangy taste that
titillates the mouth when munched passionately with the same,
A slimy frog is simply useless without its cacophonic croak; its hoarse voice that
wrecks out the last ounce of blissful sleep from all those in vicinity,
A scorpion is simply useless without is pugnacious sting; the animosity in its fangs;
which bursts uninhibitedly when it strikes,
A cactus is simply useless without its thorns; the knife like protrusions which
prevents it from being gobbled up,
A fan is simply useless without its blades; the white metal which generates
tumultuous draughts of wind,
An elephant is simply useless without its tusks; the obdurate horns of ivory which
portray its majesty; which help him uproot mighty trees,
A devil is simply useless without its satanic visage; the ghastly traces of malice hidden
deep within his eyes, his thunderous voice which scares scores of innocuous
individuals,
And man is simply useless without the mother who gave him birth; the girl who
loves him beyond limits of comprehension; who alongwith him is instrumental in
delivering the next generation; the people of tomorrow.
