Make it new, said Pound, quoting a Chinese emperor. New clothes New car New rings and things New lover New and better tooth paste […]
Swimming Pool by Piera Chen

Summer by Pornika Ganguly
The season which children love, The season of relaxations, The season where none but children, Are filled with exultations. Summer comes with boxes of ice-creams, Cartons of cola, Lots of sherbet, And icy golas. Children run and jump about, And adults sit and wipe their brow, It’s especially hard to cope with kids Unless you […]

Silence by Preeth Nambiar
Echoes the sounds of majestic eve! Upon the sphere of bright white skies Spreads the paint of evening colours! Silence divine, Penetrates deep Onto the void of ethereal joy!

Reveille by Primo Levi
Reveille by Primo Levi In the brutal nights we used to dream Dense violent dreams, Dreamed with soul and body: To return; to eat; to tell the story.

Poetic Dilemma by Pawan Kumar
Poetic Dilemma —————— Sounds of paper movement and running of ceiling fan, Roaring of plying vehicles, and whistles of road van. Holding pen, diary on desk but with void brain Trying to find some ways for motion of self-train. Deficiency of words, and lacuna of ideas, Hindering to move ahead, though desiring for media. Finding […]
Snow & Ice by Quincy Troupe

The Survivor by Primo Levi
The Survivor by Primo Levi Once more he sees his companions’ faces Livid in the first faint light, Gray with cement dust, Nebulous in the mist, Tinged with death in their uneasy sleep. At night, under the heavy burden Of their dreams, their jaws move, Chewing a non-existant turnip. ‘Stand back, leave me alone, submerged […]

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.

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!

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. […]
