Myths & Legends

**********************************************************************
This is a poem I wrote on my opinion on myths and a legends! I have used symbolism for which I have also taken the honour of making a glossary!
**********************************************************************
Fairies and magic,

Witches and Tragic,

Wands that help light the dark.

Gods and Goddesses,

Percius and Zeus,

Katniss and Peeta Mellark.

Unicorns and Centaurs,

Minotaurs and Trolls,

Myths and legends,

In documents and scrolls,

Pictures and carvings of those of them,

Who left a mark in history,

Travellers and merchants, rich and poor,

Crave to unlock their mystery.

Legends they are those who succeed,

In missions or pursuits unfathomable,

Those are legends who awe the world,

And never leave their story untold!

They are those men,

Those women,

Whose pictures that they art,

Stories fill the pages of those legends that we dart.

Thoughts and dreams,

Oreo with extra cream,

Imagination has no bounds.

Unicorns in rainbowland,

Pots of gold, treasures,

And treasures in mounds.

Zeus and Hera,

Gods of Greece,

Buried Pharaoh comes back to life,

Rustic myths blow,

Imagination sowed,

Redundant beliefs bark.

Myths are those who tell only,

What another believes,

What another thinks they saw,

That what gives them relief.

Myths are those that may,

Never have existed,

But people without hope believe,

Believe, believe what has been told.

Kings are said to have seen god,

And the proof is nil,

Priests are said to have met god,

And the proof is nil.

Myths and legends are intertwined,

Like, They are woven together like a cloth,

With these we have come a really long way,

Nevertheless I have to say... 

Myths are just another ways,

Of wasting your time,

To believe in things,

That was meant to be a mime.

Legends are worth it,

Worth all your time,

For it teaches you about determination,

Doesn't boast about one's cloud 9!

Glossary

Rainbowland - Unicorns' habitat

Mime - A bedtime story

Katniss and Peeta Mellark - Legends from Hunger Games

Dart - Look to

Happy Birthday Wazzy!

This poem was written by me and Divya for our Best Friend, Pratya, for her birthday!

If you are reading this because you think you are a demigod, Close this book right now.  Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life.  
Once upon a time, a lady came to a school with the WORST FOOD EVER!
She met two others, who hated her, but soon began to grow fond,
She never thought it would ever happen, a spark,
An eternal bond.
If they had seen it earlier, a year of war would’ve never been,
But now the time is lost and will never come back,
We are sorry, from deep within.
But now you are here, after 6 years,
Standing in front of us,
You’ve been a shoulder, a blanket, a diary,
And now we’re here for you.
We stand there blank, staring into your eyes,
Not knowing what to do,
Do we run, cry, laugh or be angry?
Nobody knows, but we don’t care.
You’ve left us here, stranded, for a year,
And now you’re coming back?
RONALD WEASLEY YOU COME BACK AFTER WEEKS! AND YOU SAY HEY? 
If only you could see,
The regret in our eyes,
Knowing that we had let,
A precious year go by.
Do you even care about us?
Do you?
Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag?
Drifting through the wind?
Wanting to start again?
Now all regrets are pushed aside,
We can see the sparkle in your eyes!
I know that we were meant to break but
I DON’T MI-IND
The spark that we had feared was gone,
The spark that we had feared was taken into someone else’s fire,
The spark that we were sure would never come home,
Is now a Raging Fire.
You’ve come home from a long exile,
You’ve gone across both land and sea,
You’re coming home,
You’re coming home,
Tell the world that,
You’re coming home.
LET THE RAAIN WAASH AWAY
ALL THE PAAINS OF YESTERDAY
But anyways, now that we’re here,
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
So listen, you may not care,
You may not want to be here,
But we just want to say,
HAPPY 13^th BIRTHDAY!!!!

(I would have to admit that Divya did 60% and I did 40%)

One Last Chance

***********************************************************

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, Drifting through the wind, Wanting to start again?" Adolescent problems, Picky parents, A lot of teens had to go through this!

***********************************************************

Chances are about us,

How we perceive it,

What we make it,

And what it makes us.

Chances rely on trust,

Trust breaks, chances fly,

Fly so far that,

SORRY makes sense no more!

People say life is all about chances,

They say chances make us who we are,

I am really afraid, if we give chances so much authority,

Won’t it over power us?

Every creature gets one chance,

One chance to prove themselves,

To show the world what they are made of,

To reveal their true self.

Some do it,

Some don’t,

The ones who do it are revered,

The ones who don’t………

They are the ones who root for justice,

The ones who now truly know themselves,

The ones whose sorry is worthless to us,

The ones who want one last chance.

Mom and dad trust me,

I know I have lied a lot,

For once I know what’s truly wrong,

Don’t abandon me here to rot.

Don’t tell me that I don’t exist,

That I am loved no more,

Don’t tell me I am worthless,

Don’t make my kindness sore.

Don’t tell me I am a bully,

That I don’t have a bright future anymore,

Just give me One. Last. Chance.

Just ONE.

Don’t cut me off already,

I am not worth all of that,

Don’t tell me I am weak,

I am a lot more than that,

Don’t tell me I am useless,

That I have no life to live,

I am telling you, Just one last chance,

And you will see the change in me.

Is it that hard to forgive?

To accept a mere sorry?

Does it not hurt you,

When you yell at me?

Do you never tear

When I cry?

Does it make a difference

If I live or I die?

If I chose to live

Will you love me like before?

Will you hug me like a teddy bear?

Will you hate me no more?

I am SORRY for all the trouble,

That came along with this heartfelt forgiveness,

I am obliged that you have accepted for the last time,

This Humble apology from me.

I love you mom and dad,

I always did,

No matter how you treated me,

My heart always ached for you.

I know you were not wrong

But did you ever

Ever look at life through my eyes

Felt how my heart ached?

No matter what you did

Or how you looked at me

I will always love you for who you are

For that one last chance

That one last chance made me choose life

Over something that takes away what you gave

You gave me life

You gave me my One Last Chance.

Happy Birthday Div!

This is a poem that I wrote for my best friend Divya’s Birthday! I am happy that she liked it! She also has a blog! Check it out at: www.divyarwrites.blogspot.com

*********************************************************************

Hey how ya’ doin’ today,

The sun is shining high and clear,

The birds are chirping tweeting sounds,

Three colors fly proud up in the air.

I yawn as usual in the morning,

Least bothered about what day it is,

I open my eyes and see no one has woken and,

Go back to slumber again.

My mom says, “Wake up!

Rise and shine morning has come!”

I say, “Mom it’s a Saturday,

Show some love!”

My brother comes barging in,

“Do you know what day it is??”

I open my eyes and for once

“I know! its Divya’s birthday!”

“No you idiot it’s that day,

The day our flag was flung,

The day those wicked Brits gave up,

Independence day has begun!”

I don’t care about independence,

I wasn’t there to see it anyway!

What I am bothered about right now is,

“It is her birthday… what should I say?”

Something in me pricks,

My butt to run to the washroom,

I pick it up and make my way,

Brush my teeth and start today.

Drink my milk, wish happy Independence Day,

Mom gives me a choice of studying or to go down to play but

I make my bed and help at home,

Cuz’ “Ferb I know what we are gonna do today!”

You are made of kindness;
love from a heart of gold,
your touch is angelic,
from the depths of your soul.

You make a real difference,
with mere mortals flawed and blue,
asking age-old questions,
oh c’mon what else can I do?

It’s too early to get to the point

And since it is today

I guess it is time to say stuff

That I had been holding in within me

I'm not sure when it happened,
but I’m very glad it did,
you just came into my life,
and eased the pain I hid.

The more you got to know me,
the greater I knew myself,
for that I’ve been enriched,
by much more than mere wealth.

You and I are different,
yet the same in many ways,
we both have tender hearts,
that beat in tune every day.

I'll always be there for you,
forever and to the end.
We're each other's backbone,
the very best of friends.

You are more than special;
you are the "me" I aspire to,
my anchor in a sea of change,
my wings under skies of blue. 

At last my life is full,
just because you're in it,
filling me with waves of love,
absolute and infinite. 

Once we lived perpendicular lives,
with parallel hopes and dreams,
crossing your path was a blessing,
now my path is as it should be.

Frenemy or whatever,

I know ur trying to play it cool,

Trust me I know ya’,

After all I am not such a fool!

I can’t imagine a life without,

Breathless moments with you at my side,

For all that I knew,

I grew up on you.

So hey sis’,

How’s life?

R u throwin’ a party?

Or u just bored of it?

It feels great you know,

Now that I have let all of that out of me,

I feel lighter than before,

I am now a brighter me.

I had so many things planned for you,

But I know I can’t establish them all,

But the best I could do,

Was write you this song!

Percy says, "Riptide!"

Leo says, "Hey"

Annabeth says, "It is your birthday!"

I say, "Hurray!"

Harry says, “Expecto Patronum”

Ron says, “Chess”

Hedwig *flaps around the house*

Hermione-“Hedwig don’t make a mess”

Last but not the least,

I wouldn’t be that cheap ya’ know,

I won’t wish you a happy birthday,

But I will a fabulous one!

MY BLOG!!!

Hi,

Thanks for visiting my blog! It means a lot to me.

My name is Ritu and I created this blog so I can post what I write and through what you comment, I can learn and improve. 

Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember and it has always been the best way to express myself.

 I am not a regular writer. I write when a certain phenomenon compels me to write. That could be an incident, a series of beautiful phrases that start swimming in my mind or my immediate surrounding which makes me overwhelmed.

I love writing because through what I write, I can let out all that debris in my mind without needing to tell anyone in person. I’ve realized that one needs a lot of inspiration to write a flawless piece and after they have put their thoughts into words, they are always proud of it. Written pieces come from the soul and not from the mind.

Welcome to Quills on Parchments, my blog, where I write poems, short stories and descriptive essays. I love reading comments so make sure to leave a comment or suggestion in the comment section below every composition. Feel free to tell me anything because I am not a person who would take downbeat comments as a slur, it would simply be one more rung on the ladder to a great composition! You can also comment Themes that you would like me to write on.

Thank you and stay tuned!

~ Ritu
