SCRABBLES!!!

 I woke up one day after a satisfying sleep…. 
Looking outside the window I thought 
Let’s do something, something 
I haven’t done before….. Let’s play 

SCRABBLES!!! 

So I start playing with words…. 
Jumbling with letters 
Pushing one in 
Popping one out 
(All computer terms, never mind) 
Beginners luck!!! 
As they say, you start with something 
Pretty nice… 

Words like 

Commence 
Approach 
Head start 
Embark 

All giving you the feeling 
You are starting a journey… 
So I continue…. 
For some time, 
Blood continues to boil… 

Words like 

Glamorous 
Inspiring 
Stimulating 
Bling 

It seems all interesting 
The world, as if calling 
Come, unlock my secrets! 
I pay heed…. 
So comes the next few words 

Words like 

Research 
Question 
Enquiry 
Explore 

But then, a sudden bitterness 
Some not so interesting words 
Rather disappointing to get 
In a scrabbles game….. 

Words like 

Wander 
Aimless 
Roam 
Meander 
Vagabond 

So I ask myself 
Do you have an aim? 
Yes 
What is your aim? 
Then came next few words 

Words like 

Confused 
Scattered 
Incoherent 
Befuddled 

What is going on? 
Why this sudden thorniness? 
Then came scary words…. 

Words like 

Lost 
Confounded 
Disconnected 
Bewildered 

But I have already started the game! 
How can I stop? 
My heart shakes at the sight of the words… 
Still, I continue…. 
So came the next set of torture 

Words like 

Dragging 
Frustration 
Thwarting 

I was starting to hate the game… 
Felt like quitting…. 
Dunno why I went on… 
In spite of 

Words like 

Pressure 
Coerce 
Pull 
Drag 

As if I’m carrying a heavy load 
Against my wish… 
Things never looked worse… 
I pressed my eyes with my palm… 
Unable to withstand the pain…. 
So came words like daggers 
Flying towards me…. 

Words like 

Aggravation 
Suffer 
Ache 
Ail 
Anguish 

As a result of these 

Came words like 

Tear 
Distress 
Pathetic 
Miserable 

Sense of inferiority complex 
Occupies my mind entirely… 
I’m unable…. Unable to play the game… 
But just before I close the board 
I thought 
Anyways I am losing the game… 
Let’s make the game remember 
That I am the worst loser ever 
To have played scrabbles… 
So I clench my teeth 
Closing my eyes and then 
Wiping away the tears…. 
I ‘play’ the ‘game’… 
And immediately get 

A powerful word 

Determination…. 

A single one… 
Enough to jumpstart the engine 
That’s been rusty for long… 

I get words like 

Strive 

I work and get ‘hard’ 
Reminds me of hard work…. 
I have nothing to lose anymore… 

So I get words like 

Slog 
Plod 
Trudge 

Keeping my nose to the grindstone…. 

I work and work with words 
I play with words… 
Words become my life….. 
I am still playing… 
Working to reach my destination 
Playing to get these words- 

Words like 

Goal 
Achieve 
Destination 
Oddment 

And two very important words 


‘answers’ and ‘success’……..
