P.C. Spillwords Press
I’m very happy to say that my poem, ‘The Gift of a Poem’, has been published by SpillWords Press today.
Today is my younger one’s birthday, and Spillwords very kindly agreed to publish the poem today. It meant a lot to me, especially since she’s been asking me why I haven’t written her a poem after she left for University, six months on Valentine’s Day and somehow, I couldn’t write a poem for her. It wasn’t that I did not write poems; I did. In fact, I wrote 60 in April itself for NaPoWriMo. And each time, Akanksha would remind me that I hadn’t written one for her yet and that I loved the older one more because I had written her a poem the week after she had left home for the first time.
Here’s an excerpt of the poem, I wrote for my younger one. To read the entire poem, you can click here .
On your first birthday Away From home I gift you this poem And I pray each verse Envelopes you like summer’s warm embrace The kind I’d give you if you were here. I’m trying hard to string the words together
