Hug me tight – a Katauta poem

Hug in rain

Embraced bare in rain

Head on his chest, drops trickled

Heard my name beat in, धक धक

The Katauta is an unrhymed japanese form consisting of 17 or 19 syllables. The poem is a three-lined poem the following syllable counts: 5/7/5 or 5/7/7.

Unnoticed Yet Necessary – A Poem

hands

 

He looked into my eyes

Red, swollen, unslept

I tried to smile

Memories of erstwhile

I’d leave him long back already

But he stood unnoticed but necessary

He saw me move & saw me fall

He saw me fail & saw me crawl

I’d leave him long back already

Still he stood unnoticed but necessary

Today I met him yet again

My cold hands he held in rain

Many a came in the meanwhile

None a steady hand or glory to stand high

I’d leave him long back already

Yet he stood unnoticed but necessary

A look at him a lot he changed

His arms now stronger and

the hair I liked longer

Not heeding my tears asked I

Reason for waiting and the why

As I’d leave him long back already

Why he stood unnoticed but necessary

“Ananya” the first word I heard

That moment for me the world blurred

“Many did come and pass by

And you ask me I stay why

All wanted you as silent wind

None could handle your heart’s stormy cry

I knew the waves come to kiss the shore

I can handle your heart’s storm core

Yes, you did leave me long back already

You my love, reason for me to remain unnoticed yet necessary

You my treasure, reason for me to remain unnoticed yet necessary.”

Guard Your heart – A Triolet poem

trust poem

 

Tried my hand at Triolet. A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines. Hope you like it 🙂

I am quite overage to see cartoons but as they say there is so age to enjoy cartoon 🙂 Every time I see a town in a cartoon series I feel like hopping in the television and living there especially Noddy loved that town 🙂 I clicked this picture outside a store in Malaga and was so fascinated that I had to write a dreamy poem on it 🙂 Try to find and match the poem with the picture 🙂
