  • That Perfume
    This is a short poem composed by me. Eventually there is a story behind this poem. I got into a literary fest and then I recognised my love for poems. Earlier, I would write short quotes and tales. After I narrated my poem and got praised I went and wrote few more. And that's how 'That Perfume' is here. It simply depicts the role of aroma and scent in a women's life.

  • The World Is Too Much with Us by William Wordsworth.
    The World Is Too Much with Us" is a sonnet by the English poet William Wordsworth. This relatively simple poem angrily states that human beings are too preoccupied with the material (“The world...getting and spending”) and have lost touch with the spiritual and with nature.A good relationship with nature helps individuals connect to both the spiritual and the social worlds.

  • Krishnakali by Rabindranath Tagore.
    Tagore writes about Krishnakali (dark flower). Here, he describes a dark, beautiful young woman in a village field, who momentarily loses her inhibition when she glances at him. In addition, the poet dismisses the opinions of the villagers, who describe her as ‘dark’. Dark in this context refers to her lack of beauty.  After all, black has historically been associated with more negative connotations than white. It highlights internalised racism through the villagers’ description of her as black and thereby unattractive. It is a great deal to consider in our understanding and appraisal of ourselves and each other.

  • True Love
    This is an anonymous poem and would connect to everyone who ever found love or given up on it. Love is a wonderful feeling and can give you strength in adversity. True love is built on free will and free choice, not control or manipulation. Love is pure happiness.

  • World Upside Down by Toshika Mishra.
    This poem is composed by me. Amid this Covid-19 lockdown I had several thoughts going in my mind that how the nature is healing itself whereas we humans are put indoors. It all feels like a real life movie where we are the characters. This is a short piece of writing hope you like it. Would be up with more such content.

  • A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
    In the poem, A Psalm of Life, the poet sees life from an optimistic outlook. To him this life is full of possibilities, as we can achieve higher goals by making the full use of our time and by working hard, and of course, by keeping faith in the power and potential of life. He does not have faith in those who hold the pessimistic view of life. Throughout the entire poem, the poet Longfellow conveys his view of life, instructs the readers to make the most out of this life, and inspires us to participate in the work and activity of life.

  • In the Name of KASHI
    Here is poem written by me. The Indian culture is blessed with the numerous cities of wonder. One such is Kashi, the oldest city in the world also known as the city of temples. I'm personally inclined towards it. Varanasi has imbibed a culture within us, a way of living. You can always feel at home in Kashi.

  • Five ways to kill a man by Edwin Brock.
    Brock's poems amply demonstrate the virtues of his "intensely felt, supple, direct and memorable work." It's chilling in its deliberately emotionless tone as it uses the language of a practical manual to explore humanity's cruelty. Progress is reduced to the way in which mankind has improved its methods of killing.

  • Giving me Strength by Toshika Mishra.
    This poem is crafted by me. It talks about the time when a person has a hope in the time of adversity. When he/she is surrounded by people who are just for sake and try to misuse his or her emotions. It reflects how the inner strength and motivation works when you want to do something in life.

  • What Life Should Be by Pat A. Fleming
    Stepping away from the famous and classic works, we find this gem of a poet not that known.
    Much like those more well-known poems, it talks us through how we ought to try to live our lives. We juggle through it and at the end it's all fine. It’s simple, yet inspiring.
