Saturday walk in the park

Saturday walk in the park
====================
Not rain. Not snow.
Just flurries?
I don't know!
"Weird weather", as someone told,
Has just begun to take its hold!

Off to the park, I did go,
The water level wasn't anymore low!
Huge puddles I spot, on the side of the trails,
The mallards were happy, treating them same as a lake!

It was almost dark, I decided to quit,
Walking to a road, whose name I did miss!
Lit up it was, with a festive look,
But it was time to be home,
There is dinner to be cooked! :D

Spring Visitors

Spring visitor at Victoria park!
========================
Not the mallard. Not the geese,
Find my name, if you please!
An yellow bill is what i got,
A dark black band encircling the spot!

I didn't come for food, I already ate,
My search is for a dance floor, on the frozen lake!
I danced and moved, as much as I wished,
And when 'twas time to relax, i just stood still.

Is it spring?

It is spring, yet its cold,
With icy wind taking hold!

The buds on trees? I hear them say,
"We need to sprout, please go away!
Your monochrome theme, had its stay!"

The hues of spring flowers, can never be matched,
With loads of food for the bees and wasps!

The Sun looked down and gently just said,
"I am staying up longer to do my very best!"

"Well...whatever", I said to myself,
Victoria park is present to help!
Rain or shine, wind or ice,
Well maintained trails are hard to come by!

Just like that

Just like that
==========
It isn't quite spring as what you thought,
When super white powder comes back with its mark!
"Flurries", they said, is all will it be,
Carried in wind that will add to the freeze!
My nose felt the freeze, yet I walked very slow,
Weber to Water from Queens did I go!
It being weekend, the buses come by,
On a schedule that's special and hard to get by!
To home I did make it and settle down in peace,
In the warmth of my hall, looking outside with ease!
The wind just picked up a pace i would say,
That is best viewed from inside,
with a real wide gaze!

10

10 is 2 if you just don't believe,
The system is called "binary",
If it helps for a feel?
It helped all logic get an electronic arm,
Which now twists and controls everything thats found.!
The power of binary is just so profound,
Does it leave us some chance
With its ever growing ground?

(Inspired by a comment from Rajesh Shanmugham)

Four!

Four!
====
A magic number indeed is four,
Keeping fishes alive beneath its fold!
Seasons of nature it does denote,
The square of an even prime,
Has this been told?

Incentive at work!

An incentive is really all that you need,
To cheer up the day for all it has been,
Opening the letter to find what its got,
An exercise I would love! Or so was my thought!

Gingerly i go and open up my mail,
Finding what's inside turned my face pale!
I opened an app for my credit payments due,
Where the numbers i saw was way greater too! :D

Victoria Park II

Victoria Park - II
=============
The ground was covered with snow and ice,
But Sun decided to show its might.
Worked very hard all days of this week,
Melting much of the ice using all of its heat.

Out came the clouds this evening today,
Hiding the Sun from having its way!
They invited Ms.Mist for a stay in the park,
Who took walkers and joggers - all by a shock!

Her beauty was quaint is all I can tell,
A walk in her presence was the inverse of hell.
Having stayed up for enough to talk,
She slowly moved out but kept me enthralled!

Thinking about her to home when I came,
Saw a double rainbow, through my window pane!

Ice ice baby

Ice ice baby!
==========

Oh! What shape and form did you take?
Hardening yourself all through the way!
Expanding a eleventh of your volume you did,
Frictional forces? They hide in your grip!
Your colour is all but the same as your base,
Makes it harder to see and recognize your face!

Walking or running is definitely a scare,
Take no precautions and one can skid anywhere!
Scratch on the skin is the least you can give,
Or break some bone if you must, you will!

"Ice.Ice.Baby" is still what i say,
My levels of adipose leaves nothing at stake! :D

Victoria Park

Victoria Park
===========
The geese were back to sail,
On ice that lost its way.
Water rushed out with glee,
With beats of joy beneath!

The squirrel just lost its way,
Searching food on an icy trail,
The spring that just began,
Only melted the ice it can!

The branches of trees just swayed,
In the wind that blew today.
Cold yet pleasant it felt,
On a face that lost itself!

Rain or shine, this park is fine!
"Victoria" goes its name,
And its a definite Downtown fame!
