  Let’s discuss this poem. The poet, Alan Brownjohn Sometimes I sit with both eyes closed, But all the same, I’ve heard; They’re saying, “He won’t talk because He is a thinking bird.” I’m olive teen and sulky, and The family say, “Oh yes, He’s silent but he is listening He thinks more than he says” “He ponders on the things he hears, Preferring not to chatter!” And this is true, but why it’s true Is quite another matter. I’m working on some shocking things In order to surprise them, And when my thoughts are ready I’ll Certainly not disguise them! I’ll wait and see and choose a time, When everyone is present, And clear my throat and raise my beak And give a squawk and start to speak And go on for about a week And it will not be pleasant. Themes Criticism of caged animals - an eye opener for people who disregard animal’s love for freedom. False pride of humans - taking so high of the bird when they do not even understand the emotions of the bird. What brings out the humour in this po...

Caesar, He was everyone’s pet, He played with everyone, Even went with his kidnappers once, He trusted humans so much. And so when he finally opened his eyes into the midnight, Death was by his side, And he went with Him too. Thereafter, There was no more of Caesar, Caesar ceased to be. Goodbye, Caesar! Have a good time, wherever you are now!  

                                          Those starry nights, brightened with the moonlight, lulled by the tunes of love, coming out of her fountain of love.  Those heavy little eye lids, slowly closing, her arms around me, serene slumber wrapping me in. Thank you my mother for your countless sleepless nights just to put me into a beautiful slumber, to gift me magical dreams and build me a wholesome world ❤! You are amazing, your love is magical and that kindness is just so remarkable... Happy Mothers ’ Day!  to my dear mother and to every great mommy heart out there! XOXO,      Piyumi ❤

මුළු ලොවම අභිබවා නැගෙන ඒ ගුණ කද, ගලාහැලෙනා මහා කරුණාව, සමකල නොහැකි බුද්ධ තේජස! භාග්‍යවත් වූවෙමි ඒ අභියසට යන්නට, සිටියෙමි එහි පුදමින්, මා හදේ කෘතවේදීතාව… නැගෙයි ඒ ගුණ, නවතනු බැරිය, ගලයි මහා කරුණාව, දැනෙයි එය මා හදට, බබලයි ඒ තේජස, ගෙනෙයි මා හට මහත් වීරිය, බුදු පියාණෙනි, මා පියාණෙනි, වේවා මගේ නමසකාර ඔබ වහන්සේ හට! ඔබ සැමට සුභ වෙසක් මංගල්‍යයක් වේවා!

Let's discuss the poem. I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.           The Lake Isle is an island in the middle of the lake called Innisfree located in Ireland. The poet in his poem vividly paints the beauty and the serenity of nature through the lake Innisfree. The poet points out the soothing effect of nature on mankind using different tech...

“I stand on my own today because they gave me their hand when I could not stand up.”                         

       “Eyes are the miracle of shimmer, fire and water,   You are the owner where a choice is needed.”

  With a bouquet of flowers to you...                      May this New Year brings with it the patience of the sun, Who lavishly greets everyone no matter who they are, May this New Year brings with it the serenity of the moon, Who softly beams even when the wolves howl, May this New Year brings with it the goodness-es of the hearts, For every heart has its own part in goodness, May these good wishes bring with them a sun, moon and a heart to a soul..... HAPPY SINHALA AND TAMIL NEW YEAR! හිරුගේ රැසුත්, සදුගේ සෞම්‍යත්, යහපත් හදත්, ආත්මයට පිරෙන, සුබම සුබ අලුත් අවුරුද්දක් වේවා!
