  • Work (success & the power of a line)

    When it comes to the theme of work vis-a-vis life, I have probably articulated myself better in a previous blog: https://www.razelibrary.com/2023/01/the-corner-rack.html

  • FLAMES (prompts & stanzas)
    Here's a product of a poetry prompt and fun high school games.
    It's nice to be back with fresh (or in most cases "old new / new old") experiences.

  • A short break from the poetry laboratory

    The Stunner will return in August! In the meantime, please enjoy the show's very first video episode.

    Side story: as soon as I stopped recording, I remembered the word: 'constructive criticism'. Yes, I welcome that and I would like to invite you once again to share your thoughts, comments and suggestions. Or just say hello! That would be nice.

  • A Few Good Years (writing habits & what ifs)

    When does a writing habit become a bad habit? And what would you do in that very logical scenario where a genie would grant you three wishes?

  • Girl (commanding yourself to sit down & write!)

    99% of the time, we produce something between rubbish and mediocre. This poem is one of those fluff finger exercises that I think has potential, has a bit of strange charm — like the person who inspired it.
