Quotes about opine, page 2
Prose Poetics-3
I know I need to accept
The changing culture..
Proudly I do opine of
Myself bridging
Old and the new..
But
With all parental funds
These high-learned
High-paid youths
When they really break
All morale late night
My bridging is splintered
Over an arid river

They Aren’t Idle
One cannot but see or hear.
One cannot but smell or taste.
One cannot but feel the weather.
One does these without wages.
I cannot but opine or advice.
I cannot but praise or condemn.
I cannot but indulge in gossips.
I do these without wages.
Senses and ego can’t be idle.

There Are So Many Things
About which I can’t do a thing
I fail to understand
I dare not say a word
I can’t tell someone
I can’t know something
I am curious to learn of
I love to know in depth
I conceal but can’t
I like to opine but
I want to share with friends
I hate to tell others
I yearn to know the truth about!

A Flower To Auroville Mother-66
Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate
Oriental Pepper(Tall Persicaria
Persicaria orientalis, Polygonum orientale)
You are red and pepper-like
For me to opine fruited bunch
But no, you are not so like
Told I'm, all flowers so such
Fast sturdy stems arching
Beeded clusters curving
Long-stalked leaves branching
Swear by your name, 'bewitching'

A full or part time
What is part time love or full time?
It is not to be object prime
love is not commodity
it has to be blended with fine quality
it is slur on the name of sacred bond
Everybody adore it and are secretly fond of
it can't be brought in at once or traded
The fragrance and sweetness may sometimes be faded
how could it be exchanged even for silly thought?
so much upheaval and many wars have been fought
The opinion or discussion can't be sought
it is totally absurd to opine and get caught

A Flower To Auroville Mother-99
Magizhampoo(Mimusops elengi)
O'dear starry flowers
I opine you of Vaikunt
Krishna's sandal drops
From His Basil-Chest
As playing His Bansuri
Waving ecstatic Basil
Off chips chandan free
To Earth by wind docile
Blessed me having you
Flowery, fruity a lot
Tiny creamy flora woo
Cooing cuckoos to spot
Such is your fragrance
And your fruity ambrosia

Sounds
O'this system of cosmos rolling systematic
Predestined pattern carried on dogmatic
O'heart, opine of a Supramacy hypostatic
Whose banging in secret decibels cognatic
Whose music in infrared design spheric
Whose clinking in secret silence mosaic
In the immensities ere the creation creatic
Inaudible to me, you and some enigmatic
Audible yet to rishis in trance poetic
Tones and overtones in harmony sympathetic
In their hearts of space bliss aesthetic
A hymnal gift of chiming utterances then vedic

The Garden
A much-anticipated promise kept,
A magnate's meal surely, except
It was meant for me, a festivity;
A celebration, my new-found nativity!
Each morsel, more delectable still;
A genesis, again, of my free will!
Rain welcomed me, as empathetic;
My muted opine: 'how poetic'!
Transmogrifying complex to simplicity-
Knowing my pain, inviting my felicity!
It began quite simply, as a gesture;
By its end, a long-overdue de-vesture!
Looking now shall be only forward,
Moving now shall only be onward!

Opinions
Opinions are like rectums, everyone
Has one. Sadly, *ssholes have them also.
It’s what comes out: profundity or dumb
Beliefs that make all the difference. Know
The untruths involved before you accept
A single one. A traditional thought
Is founded in superstition and kept
Alive as “old wives tale” falsely taught
As truth. Irrational is what it is!
So eschew these cockeyed philosophies.
Beware of the false Sayers chorus
Who opine their contrived absurdities.
They may control the sought-after places
But not Truth when we get down to cases.

Sonnet: My Poetry These Days
Till now, I found no soul who said to me,
“Come read your poems and let me opine.”
But still, I’m happy writing poetry!
In any case, it tends to be divine.
Though writing verses is both gift and art,
Appreciation is a tougher thing;
Not all would like to walk, pushing the cart!
Some love to pull others’ legs and to sing.
I write poems for just the fun of it;
I seem to race against the ghost of time;
My sonnets have become almost habit;
When thirst takes on, I squeeze them like a lime!
But blame, I can’t the world for what it is!
But at this rate, many could Heaven miss.
