POETRY BY KALAI SELVI
From Sullivan's Short Stories
THE CLOCK
LOVE YOU!!*
NOW, YOU'RE ON THE CLOCK!!!!
IN 9 MINUTES SOMETHING WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY,
BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL 9 SISTERS YOU LOVE THEM INCLUDING ME . . GO!!!!

One Flaw In Women *
Women have strengths that amaze men . . . . .
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy .
They smile when they want to scream .
They sing when they want to cry .
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous .
They fight for what they believe in . .
They stand up to injustice .
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution .
They go without so their family can have .
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend .
They love unconditionally .
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards .
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding .
Their hearts break when a friend dies .
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left .
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart .
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors .
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you .
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning .
They bring joy, hope and love .
They have compassion and ideas .
They give moral support to their
family and friends .
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give .
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS *ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH .*

Lippos!
Lisping lips miss amidst
passionate glances looked ahead !
Unpronounced words disappear
vehemently provoking the air !
Fluttering eyelashes miss your glance
and makes me go into a trance !
Pulsating heart beats miss the rhythm
and look for the bliss of your kiss !
Your smiles miss half the way
to find a place in my lippy bay !
Dreams join their hand to-day
and celebrate the lippos way !

Will never be !
Fluttering feathers rustle in the sea breeze
And they wait for a warm squeeze !
Bright red beaks droop tired
and stop preening the triad !
Ebbing tides on a silver moon
silently leave with a croon !
My days are silent with sound sleep
leaving me to day dream.
Like polyps on a coral reef
your thoughts eat me through !
Wading half-way through the sand
my legs become the magical wand,
and hold on to your invisible strand.
Kalai Selvi
