WHITE WATER
Implodes aspiration fragmented,
Summer vacation plans planted,
Decanted juicy proposal
console,
Shifted to springtime dates
sole, (1)
Children shattered listen to
alert,
Singing for a happy vacation
resort,
Confess budget limited silent
life,
Innocence plays at best from
strife, (2)
Planning sessions endless
magic,
Proposal counter planning
tragic,
Amused kids fight out
calculated,
Places, college vacation
concluded,(3)
Siblings dream, scenic the
resorts,
Dreamland, night provides, escorts,
Whispering, hope, desire,
interlace,
Personal wish items, purse
grace, (4)
Took leave from office to pack
goods,
Advance ticket booked win
moods,
Colleges closed vacation
holidays,
Packing well baggage waits for
frays, (5)
The flight was short and thrilling
enough,
Glue to the window, look down,
laugh,
Reached airport kids running
hell,
Stationery shop buffet counter
yell, (6)
Their mom with baggage, alert
wait,
Children bought enjoy dish
quiet,
Now travel to railway station
soon,
Chair car coach, air-cooled a
boon, (7)
Slept kids so soon tired
surprised,
We couple dozed mildly
surmised,
Disturb children, Ghats
bending,
Steep slope mountain track
ring, (viii)
Tunnels a few thick forests
below,
Looked at happy kids, speed
slow,
Observed their pleasure,
curiosity,
Forgot exam after vacation
laxity, (9)
Journey up the hills to the
valley,
Ended curiosities increased
tally,
A lot of apprehensions, bright
faces,
Parents enjoyed prompted grace,
(10)
The train halted whistle alarm
fine,
Sparsely crowded station shine,
We moved by taxi to the hotel
late,
Had dinner retired to bed
debate, (11)
Kids declined to sleep to
gossip,
Tearful reminded past worship,
Papa was poor, clerical job,
life,
Inspired us to study face
strife, (12)
We struggled, wish to succeed,
How my children lucky exceed,
Morning, at dawn, alerted kids,
They got up refreshed, eyelids,
(13)
Quiet wait for intense
surprise,
In foam, the rubber raft,
sunrise,
Speechless, viewed whitewater,
Children romantic proud swear,
(14)
Belted tightly guide assisted
fit,
Enjoyed children, played
fright,
Rapids, river is swift white
foam,
Water sprays kids wet now loam,
(15)
Rocks countless swirling water,
Vacation visiting to
whitewater,
Back home, kids hugged tightly,
Thanks, wish exam warn lightly.
