• Mumbai Diaries 2021 – It’s better than it was yesterday though its far worse than it was last year

  

  I know I had said I would post poems in the month of May. But I posted one and stopped. It seemed insensitive of me to continue posting poems in the light of everything that was happening around. If I am to post poems, I must first share my thoughts on the current situation in…

• NaPoWriMo Day 25 – We’ll get through this

  

  Because it’s a Saturday, I have an (optional) prompt for you that takes a little time to work through — although you can certainly take short-cuts through it, if you like! The prompt, which you can find in its entirety here, was  developed by the poet and teacher Hoa Nguyen, asks you to use a long poem…
