Falling Back Into Me, by Roshanna Sidney Evans

15/10/2015

 
my head 
no longer rules my universe 
my body 
no longer a cultural pawn 
Me 
no longer lying to keep the peace

I let my arms fall 
wide and open 
to defy 
the catastrophic dying game

I felt the Cosmos 
snap that choke collar from my neck and unlock the shackles at my feet 
as comet stars 
Stripped me of the bullshit garb, the plastic thoughts, my servant crosses 
and morbid skins of betrayal and uncertainties 
that weren’t mine to begin with

As I cascaded through Time 
Life sang 
The Ballad of Breathtaking 
and… 
I remembered everything

The Morning Melody, by Soma Bose

1/10/2015

 
I hear everyday a 10 bits song,

Every morning, I wake up with the musical alarm of clock-

it sounds as "Ding Dong Dong."

"Tweet","Tweet"- birds come out from their nests with early dawn's knock!

With the clucking and crowing of hens and cocks-

I make myself ready for an early walk with a pair of shoes and socks.

The morning breeze welcomes me alike everyday-

as it blows through the valleys to call me"hey!"

Some frogs try to make their passage on the road side,

They say"croak" as they hop on the rocky slide.

The squirrels play hide and seek,

They as usual chatter with the sound of "tick-tick."

The sound of siren comes out from ship-yard-

makes me aware of the daily routine to look forward.

I can hear the crashing sound from the sea-shore,

It adds an echo with the ringing bell from the temple-door!

All I hear the pleasant melody of the nature-

with the silence of morning and its cheer!

Winter Evening, by Soma Bose

1/10/2015

 
Happy I am to lay down

on a grassy lawn.

The twilight is going far,

I can feel the gentle air

waving from a near by pond or river.

Stars are twinkling up above the sky,

They are blinking their small eye,

It is my pleasure-

having such kind of nature!


Across the water, the swans are swimming like a ring,


They are moving along with the stream with their enormous wing!

The evening mail is passing on its way,

Time is softly sliding away.

Very soon, moon will appear,

She will add her charm to this evening winter!

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Poetry Submissions Page.
