Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Hi Bill and Friends, Found this poem in the Pagan "Crystal Sands' Catazine" and thought I'd share it here: Poetry by Elizabeth Barette: Monkeyshines Ho, Hanuman, Of all creatures most clever! Your antics make the gods laugh And the demons weep; Your tail frightens the dragons And your dancing disturbs the ocean; Golden your complexion as the rising sun And sweet your words like the lotus bloom. When evil Ravana kidnapped Rama's wife, Sita of the soft furrows, You came to the rescue; When she-devils trapped Tripitaka At the Filth Cleansing Spring, You came to the rescue; With riddles, diversions, and clever devices You always save the day. Now take delight In the praises we offer you And the shiny things we lay on the altar; Lend us your aid, Hanuman, And quicken our wits. With your magic stick, Beat the enemies from our door That we may laugh with the gods In your honor. =========== Om, Sy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Thanks SY, loved this poem. It had the right playful yet devotional quality to it. As soon as I can get to a scanner I'll have to send you all my new drawing of Ganesh I did. He is holding a shell in one hand and I think a bowl of sweets in the other. I did this drawing totally from my own imagination and so it might not look like other traditional images. Hope I can find a scanner soon.
