Full Moon Day in May
Full moon day in May,
Auspicious.
Birth, Enlightenment and death,
A life of completeness.
Auspicious,
Full moon days in May.
Significant journey of Gautama Buddha;
Unfolded, core of Buddhist philosophy of
Significance, in the journey of human kind.
Wisdom has no boundaries;
Mind has no boundaries.
I recollected His teachings:
Universal Truths, Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.
“It’s the last Super moon of the year.” He said.
“It’s the May’s flower moon, a month of colourful blooms.” She added.

Editing copies
Editing a copy. I am responsible, as a sub-editor/copy editor, for the missing ‘the’, ‘,’ and ‘a’, and the complexity of sentence and structure; to put ‘editing’ in simple words. I am responsible for maintaining the dignity of the writer’s idea, and not be a judge. But, I cannot make a copy mine, the original writer will be lost somewhere. When teaching young adults ‘to edit’, the challenge is to make them realise “be a teacher, correct and suggest. Keep the writer’s style alive.”
Wording ‘Editing’, styled in Haiku form of Poetry.
Editing copies
Presuppositions pause by
Mind Punctuation.

On Teachers’ Day
It was my teacher who told me
I can write.
It was my teacher who told me
Write from your heart.
It was a teacher who said,
“She will never make it”
It was my teacher who said,
“She is exactly where her heart is.”
Everyone is a teacher:
Something taught, anew often,
When in our life;
And grows apart physically.
Teaching remains,
Memorable.
Memorabilia,
In making me
The who; I am; you are
Lessons, not to be judged
“Good or bad” ever,
And I am grateful…
