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
I think I saw you today, across the road Moving in a crowd breaking the soft pattern of people Your side-burns seemed to have grown and Your ruffled hair now helps you make an impression I move a step forward to talk to you With a sense of belonging sweeping my heart But something held […]

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 […]
For The Moment by Pierre Reverdy
For The Moment by Pierre Reverdy Life is simple and gay The bright sun rings with a quiet sound The sound of the bells has quieted down This morning the light hits it all The footlights of my head are lit again And the room I live in is finally bright Just one beam is […]

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 […]
Dying Love!!! by Praveen Parasar
A fear in heart Of losing the game of love Being left alone, or To go blank emotionally, Sometime Makes me weak, and Makes me do; what Would make you, my love, happy! I say, I love you I do not feel it anymore, I say, I do not want to lose you, but It […]

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, […]
Coconut by Paul Hostovsky

Betrayal by Priyanka Dutt

Anguish of Fate by Pierre Reverdy
Anguish of Fate by Pierre Reverdy I ask the open door on the white wall I ask the roof And the field sloping behind the house A hand enfolds the earth in its fingers and tosses it to changing hues of a sky which is here the russet of a hare All the other animals […]
Abyss by Pierre Reverdy

A reason for you by Pritha halder
Elated is your face, Placid is thou mind; Perhaps in me – the reason you’ll find. When your heart trumpets with pride, And the highest achiever is shy; Perhaps in me – the reason may lie. When your head is held high, And the biggest malady at cure; Perhaps in me – “humanity” is pure. […]
A man who set his journey back to time by Preeth Nambiar
Through the falling lids of jaded eyes, show me a land dense of green, amidst the woods appear the streams, the bells of anklets of a naughty girl hide beneath the huge tree trunks. Chasing the shyness deep in the woods, lead me to the virgin lands, unseen, worn! Show me a hut there to […]
A Longing for Silence! by Preeth Nambiar
Come aboard, O dear, with your wings wet of rain! Though the nails would bruise my skin, leave your pace upon my palm, stay caressed by the softest touch! There is warmth within me to shelter your dreams and my duffel has grains to feed your hunger. On the shore of the flooded river, amidst […]
A Heart Divided by Pierre Reverdy
A Heart Divided by Pierre Reverdy He so spares himself He so fears the coverings The sky’s blue coverlet And pillows of cloud He is ill-clothed by his faith He is so afraid of steps that go awry And streets chipped in the ice He is too tiny for winter He so fears the cold […]
A dragonfly that committed suicide by Preeth Nambiar
I thought of its possible past – birth from a tiny egg; the amusement to see the beautiful world around it; the joy of flying amidst the plants in the wild gardens; the moments of togetherness with loved ones and at the end the pain of understanding its wings getting tired even in the slowest […]
When Day Is Done by Rabindranath Tagore
if birds sing no more, if the wind has flagged tired, then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me, even as thou hast wrapt the earth with the coverlet of sleep and tenderly closed the petals of the drooping lotus at dusk. ————— The End And that’s the End of the Poem © Poetry Monster, […]
When and Why by Rabindranath Tagore
is such a play of colours on clouds, on water, and why flowers are painted in tints-when I give coloured toys to you, my child. When I sing to make you dance, I truly know why there is music in leaves, and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening […]
Vocation by Rabindranath Tagore
lane. Every day I meet the hawker crying, “Bangles, crystal bangles!” There is nothing to hurry him on, there is no road he must take, no place he must go to, no time when he must come home. I wish I were a hawker, spending my day in the road, crying, “Bangles, crystal bangles!” When […]
Untimely Leave by Rabindranath Tagore
Henceforth I deal in whispers. The speech of my heart will be carried on in murmurings of a song. Men hasten to the King’s market. All the buyers and sellers are there. But I have my untimely leave in the middle of the day, in the thick of work. Let then the flowers come out […]
Twelve O’Clock by Rabindranath Tagore
book all the morning. You say it is only twelve o’clock. Suppose it isn’t any later; can’t you ever think it is afternoon when it is only twelve o’clock? I can easily imagine now that the sun has reached the edge of that rice-field, and the old fisher-woman is gathering herbs for her supper by […]
Threshold by Rabindranath Tagore
when I first crossed the threshold of this life. What was the power that made me open out into this vast mystery like a bud in the forest at midnight! When in the morning I looked upon the light I felt in a moment that I was no stranger in this world, that the inscrutable […]
The Wicked Postman by Rabindranath Tagore
mother dear? The rain is coming in through the open window, making you all wet, and you don’t mind it. Do you hear the gong striking four? It is time for my brother to come home from school. What has happened to you that you look so strange? Haven’t you got a letter from father […]
The Unheeded Pageant by Rabindranath Tagore
your sweet limbs with that little red tunic? You have come out in the morning to play in the courtyard, tottering and tumbling as you run. But who was it coloured that little frock, my child? What is it makes you laugh, my little life-bud? Mother smiles at you standing on the threshold. She claps […]
The Source by Rabindranath Tagore
it comes? Yes, there is a rumour that it has its dwelling where, in the fairy village among shadows of the forest dimly lit with glow-worms, there hang two shy buds of enchantment. From there it comes to kiss baby’s eyes. The smile that flickers on baby’s lips when he sleeps-does anybody know where it […]
The Sailor by Rabindranath Tagore
It is uselessly laden with jute, and has been lying there idle for ever so long. If he would only lend me his boat, I should man her with a hundred oars, and hoist sails, five or six or seven. I should never steer her to stupid markets. I should sail the seven seas and […]
The Recall by Rabindranath Tagore
The night is dark now, and I call for her, “Come back, my darling; the world is asleep; and no one would know, if you came for a moment while stars are gazing at stars.” She went away when the trees were in bud and the spring was young. Now the flowers are in high […]
