Unseasonal
It is unseasonal, rains come when they ought not to. The ready to harvest crops lie soaked in water. Unable to bear the weight they droop and fall. The farmer sighs money lost, toil wasted. loans mount. The long stretches of his fields held promising yield, the day before. seeing them lying in water...

Re: Meera Gives Up
That is a good idea, Ken!
But i cannot find one.
I am happy as I am,
Boy friends or girl friends are not of much help.
I seldom make friends.

Meera Gives Up
Which way Meera turns she encounters hassles. Having been stoic so long, feel she cannot be so anymore. "I give up" she cries a whimper bursts from the depth of the heart. It is turning unbearable she who preaches patience and tolerance, is now at wit's end. There has to be an end. That has to come ...

There I Lie
Going through the day with its sighs and murmurs groans and grunts, I slip into a semi conscious state. I look as if I am drunk, my drowsy eyes give out the wobbling walk reveals a mistaken stature. God promise, we as children used to scream in our days like wise I swear I am not drunk I have not se...

How can I compete with Yeats? Bob.
I did my best. I did work hard.
The imagery part goes missing.
Another exercise!

Thanks, Michael.
Your workshopping lends an impetus to the poem.
I will revise accordingly.
I am familiar with Yeats but have not read the poem.
I will read and try to improve mine.

The dogs howl past midnight, barks go up in decibels, reach the heights terrible it sounds as fear looms I pull the quilt over while gloom shrouds me driving me to ends the hounds continue the trend.

Baffling Silence
Trees with huge branches stay dumb like big stone walls, leaves do not flutter nor rustle with a whiz, tweets of birds cannot be heard. Could this be a premonition? I wonder. Anything hazardous is on the anvil, I deliberate. Nothing at all it is hallucination haunting, I reconcile. Lost in thoughts ...
