What blogging taught me

Not so long ago, I began a blog, For the words were too many to just stay in my head. I was scared that my brain they’d clog, And the blogging path I decided to tread.   Sometimes I wrote my heart out, Sometimes the words made no sense. And at times all I did was just shout, Not caring about grammar, spellings or tense! […]

The beauty of the rain

The beauty of the rain

Image Source I stand by window looking, And I feel the wind blowing. It starts as a gentle breeze, But then becomes so fierce that I freeze. Dark clouds gather in the sky, The birds now towards their nests fly. I see the flash of lightening and hear, The thunder roar as though the end is near. I smell the petrichor as the first drops […]

On writing a poem

On writing a poem

Image Source It has been a while since I wrote,A poem that rhymed perfectly.The words around me float,Or they sit together imperfectly.

It is there almost in my hand,And I don’t want to let it slip.But […]
