Poetry

"...so callous to laugh at the suffering of the sick..."

"...There was a heart somewhere beating within you..."

"...until a thought came to my head..."

"...Trees are already on their knees to greet the breeze...

"...I see a flattening curve..."

"There is greatness in imagination..."

"...the days when it had a caressing fragrance..."

"...Some say it is a mystery, an adventure..."

"...curving solid over the sky..."

"...I need a cigarette that does not exceed 10 centimeters..."

"...The snake was chasing the rabbit..."

"...it shines like jagged jewels..."

"...Seeking attention Through plastic Social media..."

"...tales of soulful scenic wonder,,,"

"...secrets obscure the truth..."

"...hit me all the way down the street..."

"...not only a shield but also a great instructor..."

"...A moonlit night is your eternity..."

"...I dream of her spinning while I throw kisses..."

"...long frizzy hair, hippy garb, granny glasses..."

"...wading through all the existential flaming garbage..."

Haiku by Jharna Sanyal.

"...a couple of high-step circles..."

"...signposts are everywhere..."

"...respect to the wind that carries your sorrows to bay..."

"...Not all corners Of the river, shimmer..."

"...Let my dream come true..."

"Years pass without a whiff of murmur..."

"...the unofficial soundtrack for the Bicentennial..."
