Mixed Emotions

clusters of careless, confused clouds cry
the drowsy earth does not know why
the trees woke up with a start
a sparrow lost her heart
ripples of sorrow
tears they borrow
uncertain
awkward
wind

Bold is Cold

There’s a story that needn't unfold
A bit of truth that needn't be told
There’s a time when the heart ain't gold
A moment when it mustn't act bold
There’s a need, my tongue I must hold
A day when I need to shiver in cold

The Storm Steps In

There was a time when I used to write loads of poems, random poems, incorporating lots of rhyme and life. And then came a lull. Busy days, homemaking, raising a kid, daydreaming, and lazying around. I ignored the words that struggled to come out of my heart. Trying to get back to my old form now.

Here's my first attempt at a Nonet, and I hope you enjoy it. Nothing fancy, but just a random description of a storm stepping in.


flashes of light in the dull gray sky
nothing like the light of the sun
flocks of birds flying back home
nothing like the morning
thunders shout out boom
stark clouds of gloom
silent rain
confused
night

We created this blog to relive our old blogging days, the golden days when we were connected with words, and only words. Yes, we are busy people now, busy and social, very social, especially on Facebook and its likes. Still, I urge you all (and myself) again to write here, as little and as much as you can, any random stuff, just anything. Let us give our words more importance than the clicks and likes! :)
