I Opened My Eyes (FPFS – Day 1)
This form of poetry is called Rondeau. My first attempt at writing one. A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short – a refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the same metrical length).

Almari se Dil
कुछ रचनाओं का अंग्रेजी मे भावार्थ मुम्किन नहीं हो पता। Am really sorry friends as this time I did not create an English version as it would be unjust to the words written in Hindi.
In search – Teri Talash – a poem
I wrote this to write a journey but the words just got created and when the poem ended it got me more peace than what I intended to pen. A poet or writer does feel that peace after a creation. This is dedicated to all writers and poets in search.
A special mention is that I penned a guest post at Shashank’s blog, it’s my blogging journey. Something very special and dear to me, you can read it here.
