Miscellaneous poems

[1] The Court

[1(Limerick)]
With black uniform and certificate.
I dreamt of becoming an advocate.
It races with the crow
Eyes upping the brow.
Oh! A hard task of an acrobat.

[2(Parts of Speech)]
The Court
White and Black
Practicing and Earning
House of Reconciliation

[3(Five Senses)]
Justice is black
It sounds like pleasure and grief
It feels like a heavy lorry
It smells like the gusty weather
It tastes like sweet and sour

[4(ABC)]
Arbitration
Black
Depending
Coy
Entourage
Forgery
Glee
Highness…

[5(Couplet)]
Name and fame are in the grip of honorable court
It has also chance to throw people on road or boat.

[2] Haiku

[1] Forestry
Doe's eyes glitter;
green forest, virgin stag; idyllic!
Water falls, serene.

[2] Fishing
Helmsmen; broken face-
sails for wide blue sea,
silvery fish, yummy!

[3] Our Village
Paddy fields-
rainbow touches down the horizon;
bucolic girls zigzag.

[4] Winter Vacation
Dewdrops from hemp,
date juice heartening;
chicks on yard, sun rises.

[5] Evening
Cloths on roof-rope,
maid pulls staring at other-
a ''shout” to come back soon.

[3] Ours Hours
The queue lengthens,
Shapes snaky

Ekush-e sweats at Mirpur-10
Winner burns at Bashundhra City

Love becomes sultry for 2 seats together…

Sun rises and sets
Father bells at Church!
No change of luck!

Sudden vacation benefits English students
They will pass Oedipus Rex this time

Manpower business increases
Chapi Noabgonj deposits fifty thousand BDT;
Five pages photocopy of passport…
Aha! What a simple young man!

84 E-officers lament
They will not vote
Politics will not smile
One's wife deserts after the news

It rains
Sure; it floods
Sure; it clogs
Sure; Tom, Dick and Harry increase at ICDDR,B

Clouds sail
Sun rises and sets
Harry dies today…
