This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 12 ; the twelfth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . While festivities in the royal palace continued on the event of The Emperor's son returning back from his expedition and the commencement of the New Year, Wu Zhung sat aloof in her chamber. After a decade, a silk scroll from LuiFei had arrived and it now lay in Wu Zhung's lap. YinHe had seen her read and reread it in the full moon light. He stepped a little closer and took a peek, himself. What one wants and what one gets, If for the better, the old one forgets, When wants become things, For which one craves, Then wants become wishes, And one becomes a slave. When one sets about, Getting what he wants, Then little seems too less, And he wishes for more. Seldom does he remember, He never had it before! The words were neatly written in a slender, slant

Hey Deepak:
Glad you liked this one too..No this illustration is from Deviantart..not mine...Hoping to get back to my sketching that some day I may have only my illustrations alongside for each pf my poem or post..:D
Word verification! Gaaah! Me dislikes
Nicely thought out!
* I don't think it matters if it's three syllables or four, the point is that the poem works and it works well. The English word brute would be one syllable but the proper nane Brute would be two syllables.
