First Poem by Peter Orlovsky
First Poem by Peter Orlovsky A rainbow comes pouring into my window, I am electrified. Songs burst from my breast, all my crying stops, mistory fills the air. I look for my shues under my bed. A fat colored woman becomes my mother. I have no false teeth yet. Suddenly ten children sit on my […]
Path by Pierre Reverdy
Path by Pierre Reverdy Near the open road And woods under the snow A point that lifts the night A lamp keeps watch Upon the white face the lowered eyelids Upon the bare wall the closed shutters Ruts in the soil come together The bridge nearer And cubes all about Shapes Objects The mystery of […]
Pace of Life by Pierre Reverdy
Pace of Life by Pierre Reverdy It is dry at the edge of the ditch with the dead leaves And the old men’s cross stitched on your back There’s more than one tooth missing to this broken-down Ratchet That rattles And shakes It’s time to garner your gold No one to help you And our […]

O Man by Pawan Kumar
O Man O Man, spare some energy for mankind They are your co-journey persons and need your help. O Man, you are deluged in own fantasies and the dream world Take out some time to see the ground realities. O Man, they are co-brethren and live in penury Develop some establishments so they can also […]

Moonbeam flowers by Preeth Nambiar
The sanctum sanctorum is ready, I have bathed the idol and lit lights divine. With a corbeille when I stood amidst the green, I wanted those flowers to offer unto His feet.

Miracles by Paul Hostovsky
Miracles by Paul Hostovsky Spiritual texts are the most boring books in the world. None of them mentions a bicycle or a Ferris wheel, or baseball, or sea lions, or ice cream. They just lump them all together into “the world.” The “world of appearances.” The “world of illusions.” You can walk through this world […]
Mind Extempore by Pawan Kumar
What are the layers of human mind, and where he situates in context? He behaves differently at moments, and knowledge disseminated has degrees.

Lovers since Eternity by Preeth Nambiar
Holding the arms of the beloved listening to the songs of earthly love when slept, when the withering May-flowers woke me up from deepest slumber, amidst the wandering clouds when I searched, there was silence- mesmerising silence!

Love Dale by Preeth Nambiar

Loud Silence by Preethi Saravanakumar
A classic painting; silent and loud! Sang everlasting melodies unknown, Bright colors graced show; hued crowd played tunes for the king in the throne. Sang everlasting melodies unknown, The fine instruments in hands of men played tunes for the king in the throne. Elegantly posed smiling young maiden. The fine instruments in hands of men […]

Letter to my father by Preeth Nambiar
O father, beneath my feet, see there flares of ice and my feet drenching; and above head the burning sun that erases the images; between the chilled winter and red hot summer I would faint; hold me on your arms tight close to you! Be the moonlight in this darkness that takes me from the […]
Let me Roam by Penny Leigh Moller
let the wings of eagles carry me away, to a place where no one will go or stay, where there’s freedom to roam, and freedom to fly, among the stars above in the sky. Where the flowers bloom endlessly, and the trees grow at will, where the wind is passive, and the grass never still. […]

It is raining! by Preeth Nambiar
I am thinking about the poem you asked me about the rain – it is still trembling on my lips but silent devoid of words. The melodies from the deepest of the heart, through the paining throat disappear unto the noisy drops and I make futile attempts to raise my voice above them all! Alas, […]

IN VINCULUM by PEGGY AYLSWORTH
IN VINCULUM by PEGGY AYLSWORTH A ribbon of windows shadowed on the wall, the flash of a passing car pierce the morning with their temporary light. The day proposes. Across the street I see a woman with a German Shepherd. A toddler runs to hold her hand, attaching their stories. Under different trees I wander, […]
I threaded a garland with the memories of a spring… by Preeth Nambiar
Look at the sky of the fragrant freshness; inhale deep the spirit of life. Through the half-opened window, tender rays paint your hair golden shine; from the cages sing the birds the melody of morning; let me kiss you a good morning and whisper on your ears the prayers for you for a day. Life […]
Hoppleroopleoopledook by Pornika Ganguly
Hoppleroopleoopledook was this, Really funny land, Where silliness had no limit, And responsibility had no stand. Where people ate their tea with salt, Where children ate their sauce with broth Where people acted their mind’s say, Without a teeny-tiny-weeny thought. Where grannies hobbled on their hands, And mummies cartwheeled round the land! Where babies bawled […]
Greece Madum…! by Perugu Ramakrishna
She sashayed towards me Like an angel Spreading moonlight All over the path she treaded Enchanted I kept staring at her At last I managed a word, “Kalimera”(Good Morning) She smiled and held my hand I felt at that minute; that was the hand; the holy hand that has been Guarding me from near and […]
Frozen by Priyanka Tungana

Forgotten by Priya Prithviraj
There’s a scented silence here, that’s broken only by the ticking of the kitchen clock, and the sound of rain. As I sit by the window, watching drops of rain chase each other down the windowpane, a cup of warm tea sits on the table, forgotten. Poetry In Englishwww.poetry.monster
Forbidden Silence by Preeth Nambiar
When the way stretched from morning still evenings, tired of my struggle to catch those dicey moments escaping from my fingertips, in the twilight evening of serenity when I smiled, there was silence – melancholic silence! Holding the arms of the beloved listening to the songs of earthly love when slept, when the withering May-flowers […]

Elijah by Peter Bardsley

Eating a Wampee by Piera Chen
The skin parts like curtains, Out tumbles a tender load. The tongue fumbles for the flesh, Flicking, shoving, Letting the sweetness guide its plunder Like a traitor’s hand. Two seeds glisten in the quiet of a palm. Beside them the shriveled skin Neatly folded upon itself Without a hint of an arc. Like a moth […]

Creators by Pawan Kumar
Creators ————– How are epics created, from where the material comes How much is one prepared and big plot is created? How is a book written what chapters to be imbued, and one thinks beyond his time & ideas are generated? How does he decide purpose and dares in forward direction, collects necessary ingredients & […]
Composition by Peter Cooley
Composition by Peter Cooley I have watched from this chair all afternoon alone, while snow traces features of hills I’d never noticed, watching the light fall, get up, fall, pulling the dark after it. No one is here. No one inhabits me but my poem, images that stumble, rise to take the air, refusing measure, […]
