2025 Kumbh Mela Tragedy

"...Love needs restraint..."

"I want to honour the dead..."

"...borrowed gear and a borrowed drummer..."

"Love songs among the 5lbs bags of potatoes..."

"...As a child I was told the cruel history..."

"Found under the bed..."

To the point...

"...strings of frozen drops dangling on twigs..."

"...we rushed the cramped arcade and made it our domain..."

"...some digital platforms are awash with disinformation..."

"...she was a child of life..."

"It is the winters I still remember..."

"...i’ve noticed 2 grammar mistakes in the story by THE END..."

"...the lunatic is out and has unleashed his dogs of war..."

"...Heroes tragic, dead souls arising..."

"...veterans of these salty blasts..."

"...I’ll run downstairs through hallways into bursts of blue..."

"...I will write till nature is rightly nurtured..."

Haiku. Part of the ongoing series, reflecting the life and times, especially in this part of the globe.

"...A glimpse into the depths of forever..."

"...damning me to solitary in the bitter cold of winter..."

"...The world would never be the same..."

"...I don't know who they are..."

"...the butterfly flying over becharmed garden..."

"Flame-feathered birds perched in the savage trees..."

"... its intent was malevolent..."

"...a timely feat by all means..."

"...Each leaf is a soul in tears..."
