• 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 Will Survive Y2K and beyond!

  

  Our prompt for today (optional, as always) is to write an “occasional” poem. What’s that? Well, it’s a poem suited to, or written for, a particular occasion. This past January, lots of people who usually don’t encounter poetry got a dose when Amanda Gorman read a poem at President Biden’s inauguration. And then she followed it…

• NaPoWriMo Day 20 : We shall Overcome

  

  Our (optional) prompt for the day is to write a sijo. This is a traditional Korean poetic form. Like the haiku, it has three lines, but the lines are much longer. Typically, they are 14-16 syllables, and optimally each line will consist of two parts – like two sentences, or a sentence of two clauses…

• NaPoWriMo Day 19- Ok. I Said it!

  

  And last but not least, our prompt (optional, as always). Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a humorous rant. In this poem, you may excoriate to your heart’s content all the things that get on your nerves. Perhaps it’s people who tailgate when driving, or don’t put the caps back on pens after…

• NaPoWriMo Day 17 : The Night of The Super, Blue, Blood Moon… Jan 31st 2018

  

  “And now, our prompt. I’ve seen some fairly funny twitter conversations lately among poets who are coming to terms with the fact that they keep writing poems about the moon. For better or worse, the moon seems to exert a powerful hold on poets, as this large collection of moon-themed poems suggests. Today, I’d like to challenge…
